DEV

Enum.

DeviceClass

FDA's regulatory class for a device product code (see devicePremarketRequirement).

Possible Types

CLASS_I

Class I — the lowest-risk class, and the one most 510(k)-exempt codes sit in.

CLASS_II

Class II — most codes requiring a 510(k).

CLASS_III

Class III — the highest-risk class, where a PMA is normally required.

NOT_CLASSIFIED

Not classified: FDA's own "N", a code predating classification or awaiting it.

UNCLASSIFIED

Unclassified: FDA's own "U".

UNSPECIFIED

A class FDA prints but never defined — the undocumented \"f\" on 51 codes — or none at all. Named rather than guessed at, so the client can show the code without inventing a meaning for it.
