PMA stands for Premarket Application

PMA, or Premarket Application, is a submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that seeks approval for a medical device to be marketed and sold. This application provides detailed information about the device's safety and effectiveness, including clinical data, manufacturing processes, and labeling. The PMA process is typically required for high-risk devices and involves a rigorous review to ensure compliance with regulatory standards before the product can reach the market.
