Introduction:
Operon Strategist is a leading US FDA 510(k) consultant, specialising in guiding medical device companies through the intricate process of gaining FDA clearance, which is a vital step for introducing their products to the US market. Achieving 510(k) clearance represents a challenging aspect of medical device development, and our dedicated medical device regulatory consulting team is well-equipped to assist throughout this rigorous process. The US FDA 510(k) process serves as the critical determinant of a device’s safety and effectiveness, enabling manufacturers to legally market their products in the US market. It’s important to note that many Class 1 medical devices are exempt from the 510(k) requirements.
What is FDA 510(k) Submission
An FDA 510(k) submission is a premarket submission made to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for certain medical devices. The term “510(k)” refers to the section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act where this type of submission is described. The purpose of a 510(k) submission is to demonstrate to the FDA that a new medical device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device that is already cleared or approved by the FDA.
What are the Key Steps in the FDA 510(k) Process?
- Device Classification: Determine your device’s risk class (Class I, II, or III).
- Identify a Predicate Device: Find a similar FDA-cleared device to use as a reference.
- Prepare Submission: Assemble a comprehensive submission package with device details, testing data, labeling, and more.
- Submit to FDA: Send your submission to the FDA with user fees.
- FDA Review: The FDA evaluates your submission to determine substantial equivalence.
- Response to FDA: Address any FDA requests for additional information or clarification.
- FDA Decision: The FDA issues either a Substantial Equivalence (SE) or Not Substantially Equivalent (NSE) determination.
- Market Clearance: If SE is granted, your device can be marketed in the U.S.
- Post-Market Compliance: Comply with post-market requirements and FDA inspections.
