Section 12 is one of the most critical sections of your 510k submission. The FDA recently released a new guidance document to explain how substantial equivalence to a predicate device is determined. This webinar reviews that guidance document in detail.
Our speaker explains what reviewers are looking for with regard to the intended use of your device. You will also learn how to compare each of the technological characteristics of your subject device with the predicate.
The presentation includes examples that will help you identify the best possible predicate. The examples illustrate the difference between intended use and indications for use. You will learn how to organize Section 12 of your submission so that the FDA reviewer is able to quickly verify substantial equivalence to the predicate you select. You will also learn how to properly use multiple predicates.
Join us for this webinar and you will learn the following critical information:
- How to use the new FDA guidance and flow chart for determining substantial equivalence.
- What is a split predicate and why it is not allowed?
- Examples of devices with multiple predicates used correctly.
- How and what to present for substantial equivalence in Section 12 of your submission.
