What this means
A 510(k) is a premarket submission showing the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. A cleared 510(k) means FDA agreed with that equivalence. Assert-IQ (DM5100) went through this pathway (K253516).
openFDA lists it as a Class 2 device under 21 CFR 870.1025. Class II devices are moderate risk and are subject to general and special controls.
Product code MXD covers 8 devices on the FDA AI list. By decision date, this device is #8 of 8 under that code. Abbott Medical has 3 AI-enabled devices on the list, and the Cardiovascular panel accounts for 154 in total.
Being on this list doesn't describe how well the device works clinically. Check the FDA record for its indications for use.
