FDA 510k Clearance
FDA 510k is a file containing sufficient information about a device to demonstrate that the medical device is at least as safe and effective, similar to that of the legally marketed device that is not subjected to PMA.
Organizations planning to launch Class I, Class II, and Class III Medical Devices in the United States intended for human use must submit US FDA 510(k) if Pre-market Approval (PMA) is not required.
Most of the class I devices are exempt from 510k requirements. During the review of the 510k file, if the FDA finds the device as Substantially Equivalent (SE), the FDA will give the clearance with a ‘k’ number.

US FDA
510k Process
Depending on the three types of FDA 510k i.e., traditional, abbreviated, and special, there are respective ways to prepare the 510 k. Once the legal submitter chooses the type, there are specific FDA guidances available for the type of 510 k.
Among the three, traditional is the basic and can be followed under any circumstances. In all types, the submitter must prove the substantial equivalence of the subject device with the legally marketed FDA cleared device (predicate device).
This includes a comparison of the intended use, technological, performance, biological, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the devices.
If there are differences in any of the characteristics, it must be proved that those differences will not affect the safety and performance of the device and must propose scientific methods to evaluate the same with the performance data.
The 510k documentation is not a “form” but it shall include all the information required as per the regulation 21 CFR 807.87. It includes the steps as given below:
- Find a predicate device (legally marketing FDA cleared device)
- Locate the FDA guidance document to prepare the 510 k documents
- For the Abbreviated clearance, locate the FDA Special Controls and/or voluntary consensus standards, if any
- Prepare the contents of the selected 510(k) in the specific FDA format
- Make it to the e-copy for submission
- Submit the user fee
