  @dang can the title be changed, since this is such an important issue?

    To add dang (and for others), for future reference: in regulatory affairs, “cleared”, “approved”, “granted”, and “authorized” are distinct actions for the FDA. These verbs are not interchangeable and using the wrong word can bring significant (financial, for the associated company) consequences because it implies that the FDA did something they did not, e.g., cleared for a 510(k) device vs granted for a de novo device.
