Special 510(k) - Electrical Safety & Scientific Disciplines

  • 1.  Special 510(k) - Electrical Safety & Scientific Disciplines

    Dear Forum,

    I am struggling with the exact definition of scientific disciplinces in the context of the FDA Special 510(k) guidance.
    The guidance talks about three scientific disciplines.

    So lets assume you evaluate a change that triggers basic safety (IEC 60601-1) and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2) verification testing.
    Would you evaluate both subject areas as ONE or as TWO scientific disciplines in the context of a Special 510(k) submission?

    Kind regards,
    Michael
