FDA Medical Device
FDA medical device regulation is a complex gatekeeping system. Software can be classified as a medical device (Class II = 510(k) clearance, ~6 months, $10-50k). Misclassification = regulatory action or recall. Compliance spans design controls, risk management, traceability, validation, post-market surveillance, and QA systems. Most developers have zero exposure. Senior FDA-qualified engineers earn $50-100k premium because they know: when software is a device, which pathway to submit, what documentation FDA expects. Learning the essentials takes 4-6 weeks; mastery takes 2+ years in industry.
FDA Medical Device이란
FDA medical device regulation is the U.S. framework governing products that diagnose, treat, prevent, or monitor medical conditions. Software can qualify as a "medical device" if it makes a medical claim. For example, a fitness tracker that just logs steps is a consumer product; a fitness tracker that diagnoses atrial fibrillation is a Class II medical device. Compliance spans design control (formal documentation of development), risk management (FMEA, traceability), software validation, cybersecurity, post-market surveillance, and quality systems (ISO 13485). Submission to FDA takes 6-24 months and costs $50k-$5M+ depending on classification and pathway.
