FDA Device Approvals

Medical devices are classified into three main categories based on the risks associated with them and the level of regulatory control. Class I devices need no premarket submission to the FDA prior to sale in the U.S. Class II devices need a 510 (k) for clearance while some are 510 (k)-exempt. Though it is mandatory for the FDA to clear or deny a traditional 510 k premarket notification within 90 days of submission of the application, it may take even six to twelve months, if additional information is required. Class III devices need a PMA (pre-market approval ) submission while some only require a 510 (k). Though the review time for a PMA is 180 days, in reality it may take a longer time.
