After you submit the 513(g) requests, you will receive a response from FDA within 60 days for your particular device. FDA will generally provide the following information regarding device classification and applicable FDA regulatory requirements:
the agency's assessment, based on the information submitted in the request, as to the generic type of device (e.g., classification regulation) that the requester's device appears to be within (if any);
the class of devices within that generic type (and if there is more than one class within that generic type, the particular class within which the requestor's device appears to fall);
whether a PMA, 510(k), or neither is required in order to market devices of the particular class within that generic type;
other requirements applicable to devices of the particular class within that generic type;
whether a guidance document has been issued regarding the exercise of enforcement discretion over the particular class of devices within that generic type;
