WHEN IT APPLIES

A Special 510(k) is an FDA pathway for certain device modifications by the same manufacturer relying on design control documentation rather than a full Traditional 510(k), when criteria are met.

PROCESS / STEPS

  1. Confirm eligibility vs Traditional/Abbreviated 510(k).
  2. Document design controls and risk analysis for the change.
  3. Submit Special 510(k) package with clear change description.
  4. Update labeling/production after clearance.

EXAMPLES

  • A well-controlled material supplier change may qualify when performance is unchanged and design controls are robust.
