What the report contains

  1. Classification and pathway

    The product code, class and regulation that fit the device, and whether it needs a 510(k) at all: FDA’s rule for the code, and each limit on an exemption tested against your device.

    From the sample report: classification and pathway
  2. Ranked candidate predicates

    Up to ten cleared devices to claim equivalence to, ranked by how closely each fits your device, read from its FDA summary, with the side-by-side differences a reviewer would raise.

    From the sample report: ranked candidate predicates
  3. Family-tree risk

    For each candidate, its line of descent and every recall in its family, with Class I recalls called out.

    From the sample report: family-tree risk

Questions

Who is the 510(k) Report for?

Founders, product teams and regulatory consultants planning a 510(k) or De Novo submission who want the predicate landscape, recall history and review times for a device type in one document.

What do you need from me?

What the device does, who it is for and how it works. If you know the product code or a likely predicate, include it; if not, we work it out. After payment you get a private page of questions written for your device. Answer what you can, and anything you skip stays in the report as an open question.

How long does it take?

The report is built from your answers and emailed to you as a PDF, usually within a few hours of sending them.

How is it different from the free pages?

The free pages show one device or one product code at a time. The report starts from your device concept, compares candidate predicates side by side, and weighs their families’ recall histories and review times.

Is the report regulatory advice?

It is research built from FDA’s public records. It shows the evidence and the method behind every figure so your regulatory team can use it in their own judgement.

Ready when you are. $995 USD, one price. Describe the device and pay; the report arrives by email, usually within a few hours of your answers.
