An FDA 510k is a premarket submission made to the FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, to a legally marketed device (21 CFR 807.92(a)(3)) that is not subject to premarket approval. The criteria for substantial equivalence are specified in 21 CFR 807.87 and 807.81.
