MDM coverage of this record lists here, newest first.
About this record Sourced from the FDA 510(k) premarket notification database, ingested from openFDA. MDM adds the decision time in days, the product code cross-link, recalls sharing that product code, and MDM coverage of the record.
Predicate devices are not listed. The openFDA 510(k) endpoint does not publish predicate references, so MDM does not assert them. Where a 510(k) summary exists, the FDA PDF is linked above and names the predicate itself.
