FDA 510(k) Compliance
Qualysec follows various approaches and techniques to identify vulnerabilities and assess the security posture of medical devices, making them compliant with FDA 510(k).
What is FDA 510(k) Compliance?
FDA 510(k) Compliance refers to a premarket submission made to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to demonstrate that a medical device is safe and effective. This process is required for most Class II and some Class I and III devices before being marketed in the United States. The 510(k) submission must prove that the new device has the same intended use and technological characteristics as an already approved device, or if there are differences, they do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
What is FDA 510(k) Pentesting?
FDA 510(k) Compliance Penetration Testing is a critical cybersecurity assessment process for medical devices seeking FDA approval through the 510(k) pathway. This specialized testing involves simulating real-world cyberattacks to identify and evaluate potential vulnerabilities in a device's software application. Qualysec assesses various aspects such as network security, access controls, data encryption, and update mechanisms.
