Dear Ms. Pinto:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531
{4}
Page 2 - Ms. Pinto
through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic
Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or
regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as
described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA
finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally
marketed predicate device results in a classification for your
device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in
vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of
Compliance at (301) 594-4692. Additionally, for questions on
