Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's 510(k) Premarket Notification skill drafts complete FDA submission packages demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices under 21 CFR Part 807. It supports Traditional, Special, and Abbreviated pathways, generating every required section from cover letters and device descriptions to detailed SE comparison tables and performance data summaries. The result is a submission-ready document package that meets CDRH formatting and content expectations.

Preparing a 510(k) premarket notification is one of the most time-intensive tasks in medical device regulatory affairs. Teams spend weeks manually drafting device descriptions, building substantial equivalence comparisons, and ensuring every section meets evolving FDA guidance—all while coordinating across engineering, quality, and clinical teams. A single omission or structural error can trigger costly additional information requests and delay device clearance by months.

CaseMark transforms the 510(k) drafting process by using AI to analyze your device technical files, predicate device information, and performance data, then generating a complete, structured submission package. Every section—from the cover letter and FDA Form 3514 guidance to the substantial equivalence comparison and labeling review—is drafted in alignment with CDRH expectations, giving regulatory teams a comprehensive first draft they can refine and finalize with confidence.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your device technical file, predicate device details, and performance data

  2. 2. AI analyzes your documentation and structures a complete 510(k) submission package

  3. 3. Review the drafted sections including substantial equivalence analysis and device description

  4. 4. Export the finalized submission in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Which 510(k) submission pathways does this support?

CaseMark supports all three FDA 510(k) pathways: Traditional, Special, and Abbreviated. The AI adapts the submission structure and content requirements based on your selected pathway and device classification.

Can this tool handle software-enabled or AI/ML medical devices?

Yes. CaseMark's 510(k) drafting skill includes dedicated sections for software/firmware documentation, cybersecurity considerations, and AI/ML components. It structures these sections in alignment with current CDRH guidance documents.

How does the substantial equivalence analysis work?

CaseMark compares your device against the identified predicate device across intended use, technological characteristics, performance data, and safety profiles. It generates a structured SE comparison table and narrative that addresses each point of comparison FDA reviewers expect.

Does this replace the need for a regulatory affairs specialist?

CaseMark accelerates the drafting process and ensures structural completeness, but we recommend regulatory affairs professionals review all submissions before filing. The tool is designed to reduce drafting time from weeks to hours while maintaining FDA-compliant formatting.

What if my device has novel features not present in the predicate?

CaseMark flags novel features and ensures each one is explicitly addressed in the substantial equivalence comparison. The AI generates appropriate sections discussing how novel features do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Can I use this for resubmissions or amendments?

Yes. CaseMark supports both original submissions and resubmissions. For resubmissions, the tool incorporates prior K-numbers and structures responses to FDA feedback or additional information requests.
