Topic Background:

The FDA regulates medical devices marketed and sold in the U.S. on the basis of potential risk and according to a 3 category classification system. Class I medical devices are deemed to be low risk and possess the lowest regulatory threshold for entry into the market. Class II medical devices are deemed to present an intermediate risk to the user and requires the submission of a 510(k) Premarket Notification establishing substantial equivalence to a selected predicate device. Finally, Class III devices are considered novel and unique, and are deemed to pose a higher level of risk than the other device categories. Class III devices require FDA Premarket Approval prior to marketing and sale.
