The US FDA 510(k) process is pivotal in determining a device’s safety and efficacy, granting manufacturers the legal right to market their products in the US. Notably, certain Class 1 medical devices are exempt from the 510(k) requirements.

What is FDA 510(k) Submission

A FDA 510(k) submission is a premarket application sent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for specific medical devices. The designation “510(k)” originates from the relevant section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Its aim is to illustrate to the FDA that a new medical device is essentially similar to a legally authorized device already cleared or approved by the FDA.

What Are the Essential Stages in the FDA 510(k) Process?

Device Classification: Classify your device based on risk (Class I, II, or III).
Predicate Device Identification: Locate an FDA-cleared device similar to yours to serve as a reference.
Submission Preparation: Compile a thorough submission package including device specifications, testing data, labeling, and more.
FDA Submission: Send your package to the FDA along with applicable user fees.
FDA Review: The FDA assesses your submission for substantial equivalence.
Response to FDA: Address any FDA requests for additional information or clarification promptly.
FDA Determination: Receive a decision from the FDA, either Substantial Equivalence (SE) or Not Substantially Equivalent (NSE).
Market Clearance: Upon SE determination, your device is cleared for marketing in the U.S.
Post-Market Compliance: Adhere to post-market requirements and undergo FDA inspections as necessary.
