Dieter Rombach Software is a part of our lives. Embedded into everyday equipment, into living and working environments or modern means of transportation, countless processors and controllers make Scientific Director our lives simpler, safer, and more pleasant. We help organizations to develop software systems Prof. Dr.-Ing. that are reliable in every aspect, and provide empirical proof of the necessary processes, Peter Liggesmeyer methods, and techniques, emphasizing engineering-style principles such as measurability and transparency. Fraunhofer IESE in Kaiserslautern is one of the worldwide leading research institutes in the area of software and systems development. A major portion of the products offered by its collabora- tion partners is defined by software. These products range from automotive and transportation systems via automation and plant engineering, information systems, health care and medical systems to software systems for the public sector. The solutions allow flexible scaling. This makes the institute a competent technology partner for organizations of any size - from small companies to major corporations. Under the leadership of Prof. Dieter Rombach and Prof. Peter Liggesmeyer, Fraunhofer IESE has spent the last fifteen years making major contributions to strengthening the emerging IT hub Kaiserslautern. In the Fraunhofer Information and Communication Technology Group, it is cooperating with other Fraunhofer institutes on developing trend-setting key technologies for the future. Fraunhofer IESE is one of 60 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Together they have a major impact on shaping applied research in Europe and contribute to Germany’s competitive- ness in international markets. © 2012 Fraunhofer IESE Editorial Notes Editorial Board: Dipl.-Dolmetscherin Sonnhild Namingha (Project Management, Editor) Translation: Dipl.-Dolm.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
