WHEN IT APPLIES

Substantial equivalence (SE) is the FDA legal standard for most 510(k) clearances: same intended use and technological characteristics that are as safe and effective as the predicate.

PROCESS / STEPS

  1. Map intended use and indications carefully against the predicate.
  2. List technological differences and evaluate new questions of safety/effectiveness.
  3. Provide performance data to bridge differences.
  4. Address labeling parity and residual risk.

EXAMPLES

  • A material change with biocompatibility and performance data may still support SE.
