510(k) Premarket Notification

I want to preface this by saying I’m definitely no professional when it comes to the technicalities of FDA approval. This looks like to me like it could be something significant. Is there anyone here who knows more about the 510(k) process than me who can chime in?

About a year ago, Tony Chung mentioned that Liquidmetal was producing surgical jaws out of stainless steel as basically prototypes. Now, with the meeting coming up in a couple of weeks, I'm seeing some breadcrumbs that suggest we might be moving past the prototype phase.

I’ve always speculated that Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) was the partner behind those prototypes. If the goal was to eventually replace stainless steel with Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) for better precision and elasticity, would a 510(k) filing be the next logical step to prove "substantial equivalence" while upgrading the material?

I posted a hint about this yesterday and nobody bit, but the timing feels too coincidental to ignore. Is the groundwork for a pivot into medical devices finally being laid?
