The FDA is exploring how to regulate medical devices that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), acknowledging that their traditional regulatory framework is not fully equipped for the adaptive nature of these technologies. Traditionally, the FDA regulates medical devices through pathways like premarket clearance (510(k)), De Novo classification, or premarket approval, and also reviews significant modifications to existing devices. However, AI and ML-driven software changes often necessitate a premarket review due to their dynamic nature.
