Frequently asked questions
What types of medical devices does Perkinelmer, Inc. primarily manufacture?
Perkinelmer, Inc. specializes in flat panel x-ray detector integration units, particularly digital x-ray detector systems like the XRpad series. These devices are designed for radiographic imaging to produce high-resolution diagnostic images. Additionally, the company produces mass spectrometry (MSMS) kits—both non-derivatized and derivatized—for neonatal screening (e.g., GSP NeonatalGALT Kit) and sample collection devices for laboratory use. Their focus is on imaging technology and diagnostic testing tools.
Where is Perkinelmer, Inc. based, and how does that affect its regulatory compliance?
Perkinelmer, Inc. is headquartered in the United States, which means its devices must comply with U.S. regulatory requirements, including those set by the FDA. Since the company’s products are listed in the FDA’s 510(k) and UDI registries, they undergo premarket review processes (like 510(k) submissions) to demonstrate safety and effectiveness before commercialization. The UDI system also ensures traceability and identification of devices in the market.
How are Perkinelmer’s medical devices classified under U.S. regulations, and why does this matter?
Perkinelmer’s devices are classified as Class II medical devices under U.S. regulations. This classification indicates they pose moderate risk and require special controls (beyond general controls) to ensure safety and performance. Class II devices typically require premarket notifications (510(k)) to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device or compliance with performance standards. This classification ensures rigorous oversight while balancing innovation with patient safety.
Which regulatory registries list Perkinelmer’s devices, and what information do they provide?
Perkinelmer’s devices are listed in the FDA’s 510(k) and UDI (Unique Device Identification) registries. The 510(k) database shows premarket submissions for devices like their XRpad systems, demonstrating how they meet regulatory requirements for safety and effectiveness. The UDI system assigns unique identifiers to devices (e.g., XRpad 4343 F MED Flat Panel Detector) to improve tracking, reduce medical errors, and enhance transparency in the supply chain. Both registries help healthcare providers and regulators verify device compliance.

FDA Recalls (24)
Recalls reported by this firm to the FDA. Listed at company level — FDA recall records don't identify a specific catalogue device.
PerkinElmer, Inc. has 24 recall records initiated between January 15, 2009, and October 13, 2016, all of which are recorded as terminated. The reasons cited include barcode identification errors affecting measurement protocols, defective pipette tips leading to inaccurate volume dispensing, potential result code discrepancies due to manual editing, defective microplate wells causing erroneous assay readings, incorrect barcode content in labeling, improperly molded filter tips causing seal failures, and contamination from a GSP Shaker unit impacting assay signal activity.
AI-generated summary of the recall records listed below. It describes what the records state and is not an assessment of this manufacturer.
| Date | Recall No. | Class | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 13, 2016 | Z-0780-2017 | — | terminated | Defective tips have the potential to pipette/dispense volumes 50-100% lower than is specified for the tips. |
| Jun 24, 2016 | Z-0747-2017 | — | terminated | Filter Tips molded incorrectly and may not seal to the Varispan tip adaptor properly causing inaccurate aspiration and dispensing |
| Dec 8, 2015 | Z-0636-2016 | — | terminated | The content of the second #023 barcode ID label in the Barcode ID Label Binder is incorrect. The second barcode ID label #023 symbol incorrectly identifies as #024 when scanned. If measurement protocols have been programmed for both ID #023 and #024, the protocol associated with barcode ID #024 is executed. If the error is undetected, the Gamma Counter may produce erroneous results. |
