DevicePath
by CAHIR Solutions

FDA device classification and 510(k) predicate search — in seconds.

Describe your device and get its likely FDA device class, candidate FDA product codes, the probable premarket pathway (510(k), De Novo, PMA or exempt), real 510(k) predicate candidates with K-numbers, and high-level EU MDR and UK (UKCA / MHRA) considerations. Built for medical device start-ups, digital health and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) teams, and small-to-mid-size medtech manufacturers.

Digital health & SaMD

Check whether your software is a regulated device, and how FDA, MDR Rule 11 and UK rules would classify it.
