What is FDA 510k Submission and Exemptions
Premarket Notification 510(k)
A 510(k) is a premarket submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective. If your device is classified as Class I or II, and if it is not exempt, a 510k premarket submission will be required for marketing. For Class III devices, a premarket approval application (PMA) will be required unless your device is a preamendments device.
Who is Required to Submit a 510(k)
The FD&C Act and the 510(k) regulation (21 CFR 807) do not specify who must submit a 510(k). Instead, they specify which actions, such as introducing a device to the U.S. market, require a 510(k) submission.
510(k) Exemptions
Most Class I and some Class II devices are exempt from 510(k) requirements, subject to certain limitations (see sections 510(l) and 510(m) of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act). A device may be exempt from 510(k) requirements if the FDA determines that a 510(k) is not required to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the device.
