Has to deal with the FDA. That is as much as I know. We briefly discussed it in our Food Analysis course.

I think it is a requirement for FDA clearance or something like that. I remember it from buying some biomedical stocks.

Is it where medical device manufacturers are required to submit a premarket notification or 510(k) if they intend to introduce a device into commercial distribution for the first time or reintroduce a device that will be significantly changed or modified to the extent that its safety or effectiveness could be affected?

Bingo. And you used the correct terminology (clearance)!:Q I am impressed. Most think it is an approval by the FDA, but that would be a PMA.

A 510(k) is an FDA clearance to market a product (in this case a medical device) that is found substantially equivalent to another product currently on the market.

Don't be. I thought it was for a medical drug, not device. *shrugs* I just got lucky :p

The word clearance is crucial though. Many companies incur fines for using the word approved in advertising when they submitted a 510(k) and not a PMA (PreMarket Approval).

Hehe, your first post before you edited it (you edited it just before I quoted you. :p) said this:
Medical device manufacturers are required to submit a premarket notification or 510(k) if they intend to introduce a device into commercial distribution for the first time or reintroduce a device that will be significantly changed or modified to the extent that its safety or effectiveness could be affected. This database of releasable 510(k)s can be searched by 510(k) number, applicant, device name or FDA product code.
So either it was copied off a web page, or you had a handy dandy database that you built on your machine for searching 510(k)'s, and wrote yourself instructions on how to use it.

:p

hehe, found the paragraph using Google

:p x 2
hehe

So are you writing a proposal for one of these Sundog? Or do you work for the FDA and you grant these?

Sweet! 3/4 of what I read on that page went over my head. I will have to remember to ask you to explain it later :)

I am preparing a 510(k) to submit to the FDA by the end of the week.
