The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers expert‑driven predicate device testing services to support manufacturers navigating the FDA medical device approval landscapes. The development of new medical devices is a detailed, complex process that often requires expert opinion to ensure success. Our team helps clients test predicate devices to assist in gaining FDA approval for their new medical device designs.
Understanding Predicate Devices
A predicate device is an existing, legally marketed medical device that manufacturers of a new device use as a reference to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of their new product. The FDA’s 510(k) framework requires that manufacturers of subject devices establish how their device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device. This includes proving how the two products have closely related uses, technologies, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and sterility. Establishing an FDA-approved predicate device is central to the 510(k) submission and approval process, which must be completed for a device to be eligible for marketing and sale in the United States.
