Successful FDA 510(k) submissions are critical to your market success. Incomplete or inaccurate submissions can lead to failure and may delay your product launch.

What is 510(k) FDA?

510(k) or Premarket Notification (PMN) sections of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act require manufacturers to notify the FDA of their intent to market a new medical device 90 days before market release. Specifically, medical device manufacturers must submit their 510(k) or PMN if they intend to introduce a device into commercial distribution for the first time or if they are reintroducing a device with significant changes that could affect its safety. Such changes can include modifications to design, material, chemical composition, energy source, manufacturing process or intended use.
