Reconstructed reference notes on US FDA medical-device software regulation, built from seven public-domain FDA sources (the QMSR final rule 89 FR 7496, FDA device software guidance documents, and the eSTAR program page; pinned 2026-10-12). Use for regulatory pathways and premarket submissions (510(k), De Novo, PMA, eSTAR), premarket software documentation levels (Basic or Enhanced), software validation and Computer Software Assurance, the Quality Management System Regulation…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- argument-hint: [FDA device software topic, regulation question, submission section, chapter number] -->

# FDA Device Software Guidance and the QMSR
**Source**: U.S. FDA (CDRH/CBER). Adapted from the sibling 2026-09-24 prototype build and re-checked against the 2026-10-12 FDA source pin, the seven documents vetted in LICENSE as rows S1-S4 and S6-S8 | **Licence**: Public Domain (US Government work, 17 U.S.C. 105) | **Chapters**: 12

## When to use
**Prerequisites:** none: plain Markdown; no MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime.

Use this skill for US FDA questions about software in or around medical devices: what documentation a premarket submission needs, how software must be validated, what the Quality Management System Regulation requires after the 2026-02-02 transition, what cybersecurity artifacts FDA expects, where a software function stops being a device (clinical decision support, MDDS), when a software change triggers a new 510(k), and how eSTAR structures the submission. The pack answers with FDA's own frameworks, cited by chapter and source row.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/fda-med-device@sha256:8d7ba143bd30837c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.30a6732, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
