Bringing your medical device to market requires in-depth attention to its safety, reliability and compliance. In addition to designing a quality medical device, it’s critical that you anticipate and address the requirements that allow you to introduce it to the market successfully.
Life Science consulting firm, MethodSense, discusses important FDA regulations as they relate to bringing a medical device to market, including 21 CFR Part 821, 510(k) approval and 21 CFR Part 11.

Taking
a
Closer
Look
at
the
510(k)
Process
• Theore+cal
Founda+on:
Instead
of
proving
your
device
is
safe
and
effec've
with
clinical
trials
you
can
take
a
shorter
path
for
product
approval
by
demonstra'ng
your
device
is
just
as
safe
and
effec've
as
an
already
approved
device
(i.e.
a
predicate
device)
by
showing
it
is
substan'ally
equivalent
to
a
predicate
device
which
has
already
been
shown
to
be
safe
and
effec've
• The
510(k)
process
is
one
which
demonstrates
the
substan'al
equivalence
of
an
unapproved
device
to
an
already
approved
or
predicate
device

Establishing
Substan+al
Equivalence
• Iden'fy
similar
device(s)
that
could
serve
as
a
predicate
• A
device
is
substan'ally
equivalent
if,
in
comparison
to
a
predicate
it
has:
• The
same
intended
use
as
the
predicate;
and
• The
same
technological
characteris'cs
as
the
predicate;
Or
• The
same
intended
use
as
the
predicate;
and
• Has
different
technological
characteris'cs
and
the
informa'on
submihed
to
FDA
• Does
not
raise
new
ques'ons
of
safety
and
effec'veness;
and
• Demonstrates
that
the
device
is
at
least
as
safe
and
as
effec've
as
the
legally
marketed
device

De
Novo:
An
Alterna+ve
510(k)
Process
• Theore+cal
Founda+on:
If
your
medical
device
has
no
substanailly
equivalent
predicate
device
but
you
can
clearly
demonstrate
that
the
risks
posed
by
the
device
when
used
as
intended
does
not
rise
above
a
moderate
level
of
risk
(i.e.
show
that
the
device
is
appropriately
considered
a
Class
I
or
Class
II
device),
then
the
FDA
may
grant
permission
to
file
a
de
novo
applica'on
• The
de
novo
process
is
one
which
demonstrates
the
risk
of
the
device
when
used
as
intended
meets
the
risk
posed
by
either
a
Class
I
or
II
device.
The
de
novo
process
requires
pre-‐submission
mee'ng(s)
with
and
permission
from
the
FDA.
Though
de
novo
may
represent
a
less
expensive
route
to
market
than
a
PMA
because
it
will
not
require
clinical
trials,
it
may
require
clinical
and
or
performance
data
and
the
de
novo
process
can
add
6
to
18
months
to
the
normal
510(k)
clearance
process
