Under 21 CFR Part 860, the FDA categorizes medical devices into Class I, II, or III based on the level of control necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Class I: Low risk (e.g., bandages).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Class II: Moderate risk (e.g., infusion pumps). Most 510(k) submissions fall into this category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Class III: High risk or life-sustaining (e.g., replacement heart valves), which often require a more rigorous Premarket Approval (PMA),.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Correct classification is the foundation of your submission.
