How to Bulletproof Your 510(k) Submission: Best Practices for Preparation, Submission and Clearance | Nov. 7, 2013, 2 PM EDT | Lim
June 9th, 2013 // 1:02 am @ marquee
This Webinar will tell you precisely how to prepare and submit a traditional premarket notification 510(k) for successful FDA clearance. The premarket notification 510(k) is the most common pathway to market for medical devices including in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs). If FDA changes its ruling on certain types of medical devices, such as tanning beds which are being reclassified as Class II devices, your medical device company may be required to get a 510(k).
In this 60 minute live Webinar on Aug 13, 2 PM EDT, the speaker, Dr. David Lim, will guide you through the details of the required elements in your 510(k) submission for successful clearance.
Related Webinar: FDA recently announced it intends to reclassify tanning beds as Class II medical devices. For a complete update on this issue, please review our other upcoming webinar on both tanning beds and 510(k)s.

FDA 510(k) Background
Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act or the Act) describes the 510(k) requirements. The 510(k) premarket submission is made to US FDA to demonstrate that the subject device (to be marketed) is substantially equivalent (as least as safe and effective) to a legally marketed device (predicate device). In other words, a 510(k) must demonstrate that a proposed product is substantially equivalent to another, legally marketed medical device that is also lower-risk and is not subject to premarket approval (PMA).
Over the years, the 510(k) program has significantly evolved, affecting the 510(k) decision-making process. To expedite the process of bringing a product to market through the 510(k) program, it is imperative the medical device makers understand the recent changes, prepare and submit a quality 510(k) in a way to expedite the review process for fast and successful clearance.
Note: FDA in May 2013 announced that intended to change tanning beds used in indoor tanning salons from class I to class II medical devices. This would require all medical device manufacturers to obtain a 510(k) within one year of the new rule’s effective date.
