Evidentiary Expectations for 510(k) Implant Devices: Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff
FDA is issuing this draft guidance to provide our current thinking on 510(k) submissions for implant devices to enhance the predictability, consistency, and transparency of the 510(k) Program. FDA developed this draft guidance in response to public feedback, and to continue to modernize the framework for 510(k) review. The recommendations in this draft guidance are intended to serve as a primary resource for all implant devices for which a 510(k) is required, while device-specific guidance documents may provide further specificity for a given device type. The recommendations are intended to promote consistency and facilitate efficient review of 510(k) implant devices.
