Avoid FDA 510k Medical Device Clearance Mistakes - 5 Free Tips

It's better to know what's needed upfront, than to get hung up at the last moment in the 510k process. "FDA medical device approval, also known as the FDA 510k process, can easily take much longer than anticipated due to common mistakes or omissions. Here are five tips to avoid some of those mistakes," reports Nicolaas Besseling in, "Five Tips for Quick FDA 510k Clearance for Medical Devices." In a nutshell . . .

  1. Find out if the FDA regulates the device
  2. Make sure the classification of the device is correct
  3. Determine who will be the owner of the 510(k), and who will be the official correspondent
  4. Use (a) predicate device(s) that is close to the new device
  5. Pay close attention to the formatting of the submission

Following the 5 tips above won't necessarily guarantee success because there are many nuances and traps to avoid. If you're not expert in 510k filings, you might want to consider partnering with an industry consultant.
