    Hi 

    Is a process FMEA required for a Traditional 510(k) submission?

    Good day Anon,

    Generally, no a process risk assessment like a FMEA would not not be needed for a Traditional 510(k) submission.  It may depend on the device and content of the submission, but I personally have not submitted a process risk assessment with a 510(k) submission.  There may be information extracted from a process risk assessment which is provided in the submission, but not necessarily a full document.
