It's better to know what's needed upfront, than to get hung up at the last moment in the 510k process.

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
