DEN200041 is an FDA 510(k) submission (not cleared) for the Comfort Marker 2.0.. Classified as Radiation Therapy Marking Device (product code QRN), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Medical Precision BV (Zwolle, NL). The FDA issued a Not Cleared (DENG) decision on December 10, 2021 after a review of 536 days.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.5785 - the FDA radiology and imaging software oversight 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 536 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.
