Frequently Asked Life Science Questions (FAQs)
What’s the difference between Class I, II, and III medical devices?
As described by the FDA, federal law established the risk-based device classification system for medical devices. Each device is assigned to one of three regulatory classes: Class I, Class II or Class III, based on the level of control necessary to provide reasonable assurance of its safety and effectiveness.
As device class increases from Class I, to Class II to Class III, the regulatory controls also increase, with Class I devices subject to the least regulatory control, and Class III devices subject to the most stringent regulatory control.
The regulatory controls for each device class include:
- Class I (low to moderate risk): general controls
- Examples include bandages, handheld surgical instruments, oxygen masks, electric toothbrushes, and unpowered wheelchairs.
- Class II (moderate to high risk): general controls and Special Controls
- Examples include syringes, contact lenses, blood pressure cuffs, powered wheelchairs and some pregnancy test kits.
- Class III (high risk): general controls and Premarket Approval (PMA)
- Examples include pacemakers, breast implants, defibrillators, cochlear implants, and implanted prosthetics.
