Import Tips
• Provide waveform analysis test reports linking the PCA to certified defibrillator performance under AAMI DF-39 standards
• Label assemblies with unique part numbers matching OEM defibrillator documentation to streamline CBP verification
• Watch for undervaluation penalties; include full R&D cost allocation in invoices for medical-grade PCAs
