Charge Code NO_510K FAQ
What does FDA Charge Code NO_510K (FD&C Act Section 510(k)) mean on a Notice of FDA Action?
Adulterated / Misbranded Device: Lacks cleared Premarket Notification 510(k). In plain English: A Class I/II medical or aesthetic device was shipped to a US port without a valid FDA 510(k) clearance number or establishment registration.
Can a shipment detained for NO_510K be released via Form FDA 766 relabeling?
ELIGIBLE IN SPECIFIC CASES: If a general wellness or Class I 510(k)-exempt device was detained solely because promotional claims crossed into Class II medical indications (e.g., an LED face mask claiming 'medical acne surgery recovery'), Form FDA 766 can be used to relabel it as a general wellness/cosmetic appliance. Final authorization always rests with the reviewing FDA District Import Compliance Office.
