Navigating the regulatory landscape for medical devices in the United States requires a thoughtful approach to compliance. This whitepaper provides a detailed guide to identifying and selecting the appropriate testing to place medical devices in the market while addressing The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)  requirements.

The FDA classifies medical devices based on risk. Devices with high-risk levels involve increased regulatory oversight, including premarket submissions and adherence to consensus standards. These standards may vary depending on the device type but often involve alignment with specific guidance documents.
