Skin Prick Testing (SPT) for 510(k)

Submission-ready SPT data for 510(k) filings.

ALS provides IRB-approved skin prick testing to assess immediate (IgE-mediated) hypersensitivity for topically-applied devices. ALS designs SPT studies to complement the biocompatibility evidence required in 510(k) submissions with human data that supports risk-based evaluations under ISO 10993 planning.


Quick Answer

Is SPT relevant to a 510(k)?

Yes. FDA expects biocompatibility evidence in 510(k) submissions for devices with patient contact, typically following ISO 10993-1.

SPT does not replace ISO 10993 testing but can strengthen a risk-based submission by complementing delayed sensitization and irritation testing (ISO 10993-10 and 10993-23), particularly when immediate (IgE-mediated) hypersensitivity is a concern.
