Medical Compliance

  1. FDA The food and drug administration regulates the manufacture and marketing of medical devices in the USA. Recommends testing to IEC 60601 2nd/3rd edition series as part of a 510(k). The FDA does not approve 510k notifications. Rather, the agency makes a determination of whether the device is substantially equivalent to devices already on the market.
    • 510(K)s' Premarket notifications
    • PMA - Premarket Approval Applications
