How to Build a 510(k) Without Losing Your Mind | Device & Conquer | S2:E3
Manage episode 517591834 series 2446473
Building a 510(k) isn’t just about filling in forms — it’s about telling the FDA a story they can’t say no to.In this episode of Device & Conquer, Michelle Lott and Tianna Benson unpack what really goes into preparing an FDA 510(k) submission — from substantial equivalence and predicate devices to the eSTAR template, testing requirements, and why your submission is basically a regulatory novel.
They also cover the difference between traditional, special, and abbreviated 510(k) pathways, the myths around timelines, and why “just throw money at it” never works when you’re waiting on biocompatibility results.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to structure your 510(k) as a cohesive “story”
What FDA reviewers actually look for (and what confuses them)
The role of risk management, human factors, and performance testing
What the eSTAR template really does — and doesn’t — simplify
When to use special vs. traditional 510(k) submissions
How to avoid common rookie mistakes and review delays
- Why patience, precision, and planning matter more than funding
