In the event a device does not have FDA certification, provide the notional schedule and approximate cost for obtaining 510K approval for all devices or capabilities requiring such approval. Devices must test to the appropriate 810G military standard and Joint Enroute Care Equipment Test Standard (JECETS), and must be air worthiness certified. In the event a device does not have air worthiness testing certified by the United States Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL), provide the notional schedule and approximate cost for obtaining air worthiness certification (environmental, electrical, and mechanical). 2.
