FAQ
What details do I need to provide before starting this project?
You will need to provide a clear description of your medical device, its intended use, user interface details, key technical specifications, and any existing marketing materials or product brochures.
Why is selecting the right predicate device so important for a 510(k)?
The FDA requires you to prove that your Class II device is "substantially equivalent" to an already cleared device (a predicate). Selecting an improper predicate leads to immediate submission rejection or demands for unnecessary clinical trials.
What happens if no predicate device exists for my medical product?
If an exact predicate device cannot be identified, I will evaluate whether your product qualifies for a De Novo classification request or if a primary and secondary predicate combination can be utilized for your 510(k).
Will this deliverable include a completed FDA eSTAR 510(k) dossier?
No, this gig covers the critical pre-submission phase—classification, predicate search, and gap strategy. If you need full eSTAR file preparation, I offer customized add-on services for dossier compilation.
Do you assist with international medical devices entering the US market?
Yes, I routinely work with international medical device manufacturers and importers to help them understand US FDA requirements, classification codes, and pre-market clearance pathways.
Can you evaluate software as a medical device (SaMD)?
Yes, I can classify standalone software, mobile medical apps, and software-driven hardware according to current FDA digital health policy guidelines and software regulatory functions.
