 Medical Compliance| 
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
PMA Supplements - Application to modify a device which is already approved through the PMA process.
