FDA regulatory body of food and drug facilitates all kinds of medical device that is manufactured, commercialized and used by pharmaceuticals or medical companies. Manufacturers, retailers and distributors in medical industry need to get the approval from FDA by following a set of guidelines and policies formed by it. If any company is manufacturing a product or apparatus like life support system or etc with the intent to treat or prevent any disease, it is mandatory that it should be thoroughly tested and administered throughout the entire manufacturing process. This would help to avoid the situation when the particular medical device cause any harm or cost someone’s life.

FDA Medical Device Regulation is something that monitors and governs the entire manufacturing process of medicinal product used by any pharmaceutical company. It is executed to certify that particular apparatus is strictly monitored and regulated by FDA and guarantees the safe use without causing any harm or damage. It is estimated that US FDA is planning to make the monitoring and regulation of medical device more comprehensive in the coming time in order to ensure that any apparatus or equipment that is not safe for the intended use would never comes into the market.

This governing body makes all the possible efforts to make more certain that all types of unsafe or dangerous medical device would never reach the healthcare centers, establishment and up-to the end users. There are large numbers of pharmaceutical manufacturers that consistently manufacture and market the high quality and safe medical device for intended use throughout the nation after getting the FDA approval.

An approved medical device means that particular product is as safe as another one that has already been marketed, distributed or put for the same use. The applicant for this clearance need to have a proof that shows their present medical apparatus whose approval is required posses this quality of being safe for intended use.

FDA 510(K) is a pre-market submission which is made to show that medical device to be marketed or retailed is effective and safe. Each and every person who wants to market their class I, II and III medical device for human use must require a 510(k) submission. All the products that entail the increasing risk to the end user are subjected to submit a 510(k) to FDA. It helps to demonstrate that product is considerably equal to a legally marketed device that is not subjected to premarket approval (PMA).
