When FDA declares a device from a 510(k) application to be Not Substantially Equivalent (NSE) and requires a PMA. What is the most practicable first option for a company at this stage? A File a PMA immediately., B Petition CDRH to downclassify the device using de novo reclassification C Resubmit a 510(k) with new data to demonstrate the device is at least as safe and effective as the predicate. D Submit this product for approval in Europe

Resubmit a 510(k) with new data to demonstrate the device is at least as safe and effective as the predicate. Although an NSE Letter places the devices into the PMA category, FDA allows a company to refile the 510(k) with new data to demonstrate the device is at least as safe and effective as the predicate. Petition to down-classify the device is the option when there are no comparable predicate devices but the "most practical" option is to refile the 510(k). The other goal of this question is to inform the examinee that although an NSE Letter places the device into the PMA category, it does not mean FDA is asking for a PMA filing.
