The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created an online system that allows companies to apply for approval to market new medical devices. This process is called the 510(k).510k ApprovalWant to get the FDA 510k approved tag for your product? Maven is all set to guide you for your FDA 510k process.Are you aware that there are multiple kinds of 510k processes that an organization can go for?Traditional Special Abbreviated These submissions are a bit tedious and consisting of multiple steps and testing requirements. Appropriate planning, support from your end, and guidance from our end would make this process much simpler.These 510k are the pre-market notifications! Once cleared, the organization can go ahead with the marketing process.FDA bifurcated the new 510k paradigm in two guidance documents – The Special 510k program & The Abbreviated 510k.Don't get confused between these types! They sure have their own merits & demerits. But yes, you will have to demonstrate the equivalence of the device in scope with the already marketed device in the US.

Let's talk about the first one – The Traditional type!Once you've picked the predicate device for your device in scope, submit the complete documentation requirements as per 21 CFR 807.87. No special form needs to be filled!Special 510k? It was mainly established to make an effortless and effective review process of the Device changes!Do you need to modify the device which is already available on the US market? Go for the Special 510k! For such type, you will have to emphasize the design controls part (in compliance with 21 CFR 820.30) of the device in scope along with the predicate device of it. Now that the device has already been established and commercially available in the US market, the duration of a special 510k process generally takes the half than the traditional one.

Now, Last but not least – An Abbreviated 510kHave a relevant renowned standard in mind for your medical device type OR is there a specific guidance document by FDA is available for such device classification? In that case, you can go with the Abbreviated 510k type!What is 510k submission?Have a relevant renowned standard in mind for your medical device type OR is there a specific guidance document by FDA is available for such device classification? In that case, you can go with the Abbreviated 510k type!It is a set of technical documentation that is required by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to sell the medical devices & IVDs in the US market.Mainly these documents are to prove the safety and performance of your product.Premarket notification / 510k submission for medical devices are reviewed by the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), mainly, by the Officer of Product Evaluation and Quality (OPEQ).When the FDA 510k submission is received by the Document Control Center (DCC), the submission is assigned with a unique control number which is generally referred to as "510k number" or "K number".

Timelines for the FDA 510k approval?After the submission, the review mostly takes 60 to 90 days.

How should we do the 510k submission?All the documents for 510k submission are supposed to be submitted digitally (via an e-copy or the soft copy of the submission in a CD).

Registration of an Organization?For first-time submitters, you must know that to sell the products in the US market, only clearance of the device is not enough, you must register your company as well. To maintain this registration, you will have to pay the Annual Establishment Registration Fee.
