510(k) Predicate Finder
Find potential predicate devices for your 510(k) submission. Enter a K-number to find all clearances with the same product code, a three-letter product code to browse clearances directly, or search by device name.
Cultured Human Cell Skin Dressing
Unknown
The Cultured Human Cell Skin Dressing is an implantable Class 3 biological wound care device consisting of allogeneic skin cells cultured in vitro and combined with a scaffold sheet to act as a physical wound covering and provide a cellular environment to support wound healing. As a Class 3 device, it requires Premarket Approval (PMA) to demonstrate safety and effectiveness, reflecting the significant clinical risks associated with allogeneic cell therapy products. No specific regulation number is assigned, and no standard medical specialty is listed. It is flagged as an implant but is not life-sustaining.

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.
