Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class III medical devices are the most heavily controlled because they are considered to have the highest risk to patients if they were to fail or malfunction. These devices require pre-market approval from the FDA before they can be marketed and sold in the United States. Examples of Class III medical devices include pacemakers and implantable defibrillators.
