An FDA 510(k) pre-market submission must show that a device issubstantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, the "predicate." Whenequivalency is determined -- usually within 90 days -- the device is thencleared for marketing in the United States. A CE marking (ConformiteEuropeene) certifies that a product meets the European Union (EU) and EuropeanFree Trade Association (EFTA) health, safety and environmental standards forconsumer safety.
