    An arthroscope is a rigid or flexible endoscopic device inserted into a joint cavity to allow direct visual examination and surgical intervention within joints such as the knee, shoulder, or hip. It is classified as an FDA Class 2 device under 21 CFR 888.1100, indicating moderate risk and requiring 510(k) premarket clearance. Product code HRX falls under the Orthopedic medical specialty. Per FDA guidance, if the arthroscope is reusable and has specific design features requiring validated reprocessing, reprocessing validation data must be included in any 510(k) submission (refer to 82 FR 26807, June 9, 2017). This device is eligible for third party review.

    What is a Predicate Device?

    A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.

    Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.

    Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
