Which FDA submission types are most common

I’ve been diving into the different FDA submission types lately, especially 510(k) versus PMA filings. It’s interesting how many companies opt for the 510(k) route to expedite their products, but I wonder if this impacts the long-term safety evaluations. Anyone have insights on trends they’ve noticed in recent years?
