What Is FDA eSTAR?

Understanding the FDA's electronic submission format for 510(k) premarket notifications.

eSTAR (electronic Submission Template And Resource) is the FDA's preferred format for 510(k) premarket notifications. The FDA began requiring eSTAR for most 510(k) submissions in October 2023, replacing the older eCopy and paper-based formats. eSTAR uses a structured, fillable PDF template that guides applicants through each required section and helps reduce common deficiencies that lead to Refuse to Accept (RTA) letters.

The eSTAR format organizes your submission into clear chapters (e.g., Device Description, Substantial Equivalence, Software Documentation, Cybersecurity) and prompts you for the specific information the FDA expects. This structure improves review efficiency and helps ensure nothing critical is omitted. A professional eSTAR editor goes beyond the basic template by providing AI-assisted drafting, real-time compliance checking, and integration with your existing evidence and assessment data.

For more on FDA eSTAR requirements and availability, see the FDA eSTAR guidance page.
