Frequently Requested FDA Approvals
Let us show you what are the most requested FDA approvals.
Overview of Premarket Approval Process
Premarket Approval (PMA) is one of the most rigorous forms of FDA approval required for medical devices. This process is necessary for Class III medical devices, which pose the highest risk and require significant evidence of safety and effectiveness before they can be marketed.
The FDA PMA process involves a thorough review of clinical data, manufacturing processes, and device labeling to ensure that the product meets all necessary standards.
FDA 510k Submission
A 510k submission is a premarket notification required for most medical devices, typically Class II devices. To obtain clearance the new medical device must demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed device called a predicate device.
This process is generally less burdensome than the PMA process, but it still requires a comprehensive demonstration that the new device is as safe and effective as an existing device on the market.
FDA PMTA
For tobacco products, obtaining Premarket Tobacco Product Applications (PMTAs) is a crucial step in gaining FDA approval. The PMTA process is required for any new tobacco product and is a necessary step in obtaining a Submission Tracking Number.
This rigorous approval process ensures that the product meets the FDA’s public health standards before it can be marketed to consumers.
FDA GRAS
GRAS, or Generally Recognized as Safe, status applies to substances that are intentionally added to food or beverages. It is a process to establish that an ingredient has been proven to be safe either through scientific evidence or a long history of common use in food. Achieving FDA GRAS listing allows companies to market their substances without further FDA review, provided the substance meets all criteria.
