12 Critical Red Flags

Expose unresolved device, contact, report-access, test-article, recognition, and cross-file conflicts.

28 Readiness Controls

Challenge the FDA framework, evidence package, report fitness, attachment trace, and submission assembly.

6-Action Handoff

Assign the most consequential issues without averaging them into a misleading pass score.

What It Helps You Do

Challenge the package before drafting hides the gaps

A submission can look complete while the represented device, contact facts, evidence applicability, complete reports, locators, or eSTAR answers remain disconnected. This diagnostic makes those weaknesses visible before the section is treated as ready.

Freeze submission facts

Record the model, use, contact, patient-contacting components, final-finished state, sterilization, packaging, ageing, and prior-device evidence.

Check the live FDA frame

Prompt checks of classification requirements, device-specific guidance, current eSTAR, FDA recognition conditions, and transition details.

Challenge evidence fitness

Ask whether complete reports, test articles, methods, deviations, adverse findings, chemistry, toxicology, and applicability reasoning support each claim.

Reconcile the package

Trace claims to stable reports and attachments, then compare the narrative with the device description, evidence tables, and eSTAR fields.

Keep the decision boundary clear

The diagnostic finds work. It does not answer eSTAR questions, select endpoints or tests, establish substantial equivalence, or predict FDA acceptance.

When the gaps are known, use the FDA 510(k) Biocompatibility Section Builder for a controlled working system, FDA biocompatibility support for device-specific work, or a submission gap review when the problem spans linked files.
