510(k) Submissions for Medical Devices

Navigate the FDA 510(k) Process with Confidence

One of the main way to bring a device to the US marketplace is to obtain FDA “clearance” via the 510(k) route. In order to do obtain a 510(k) clearance you need to demonstrate that your device is substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. MDI Consultants provides expert guidance through every stage of the 510(k) process—helping you reduce risk, avoid delays, and achieve faster FDA clearance. mdi has successfully prepared and submitted over 5000 applications thru the FDA 510(k) process

What Is a 510(k) Submission?

A 510(k) is a premarket submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration required for most Class II medical devices. It demonstrates that your device is safe and effective by comparing it to an existing, legally marketed device (predicate). Remember, you received from the FDA a “clearance” to market not an approval.
