    Hello Community,

    We currently plan bicomp. testing for an upcoming 510(k) submission. 

    According to a device specific standard Leachables testing is expected, e.g. according to ISO 10993-18, and full E&L testing is part of our biocomp. strategy anyway.

    In a recent 510(k) for a different device type and different review office the FDA requested us to provide:

    "For the chemical characterization study a calibration curve containing a minimum of 5 points should be used." , and

    "For GC MS, at least three to five references , and for LC MS, at least five references are needed for each ionization polarity."

    Does anybody know if this is a standard FDA requirement across all divisions?

    If yes: Where does this requirement come from?

    Kind regards,

    Michael
