Submitted by Closure Medical Corp. (Raleigh, US). The FDA issued a Not Cleared (DENG) decision on April 30, 2010 after a review of 402 days.

This device falls under the General & Plastic Surgery FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4011 - 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.
