You will first learn about the 510(k) procedure and the submission require­ments, with a par­ticular focus on documentation. We will then show you how to select a suitable predicate device and prepare the substantial equi­va­lence discussion. We will also discuss relevant gui­dance docu­ments and how to deal with special controls and recognized standards.

We have not yet received any written feedback on this seminar.

We empower you with prac­ti­cal exer­cises so you can get started right away and master the 510(k) submission on your own

You will learn from concrete examples how to determine the correct 510(k) type and submit pre-subs, for instance. In addition, we will work with you to create the documentation in eSTAR format and familiarize you with the FDA temp­late. By dividing the seminar into two half-days with a week in between, you can start the actual implementation and clarify any questions that arise directly with our expert. 

Our expert will not only provide you with the latest theoretical know­ledge but also with best practices and insights from the field

We don't just teach you theory; we also provide you with important practical tips and expe­ri­ence. Our lecturer regularly carries out 510(k) submissions for various manufacturers and can therefore give you valuable first-hand tips and feedback on what the FDA looks for during its reviews, the level of detail expected, and the formalities you need to take into account.

Certificate

There is a voluntary online exam at the end of the seminar (duration: approx. 20 min). By passing this exam, you will receive a certificate proving your newly acquired knowledge and skills in addition to your attendance confirmation.
