8、Classification

Identification of the classificationregulation number that seems most appropriate for the subjectdevice, as applicable

9、Predicates and SubstantialEquivalence34

Identification of a predicate device(e.g., 510(k) number, De Novo number, reclassified PMA number,classification regulation reference, if exempt and limitations toexemption are exceeded, or statement that the predicate is apreamendments device).

The submission should include acomparison of the predicate and subject device and a discussion whyany differences between the subject and predicate do not impactsafety and effectiveness [see section 513(i)(1)(A) of the FD&CAct and 21 CFR 807.87(f)].
