Submitted by Zeltiq Aesthetics (Pleasanton, US). The FDA issued a Not Cleared (DENG) decision on August 24, 2010 after a review of 315 days.

This device falls under the General & Plastic Surgery FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4340 - the FDA general and plastic surgery device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway requires demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device - a standard the FDA determined was not met in this submission.

Device pattern: Regulatory edge-case submission. High predicate equivalence gap. With 315 days under review and no clearance granted, this submission reflects a case where the FDA could not confirm sufficient predicate equivalence - often indicating either a novel device category or unresolved safety and performance questions.
