DEN240076 is an FDA 510(k) submission (not cleared) for the Modius Lean. Classified as Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulator For Weight Management (product code SFW), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Neurovalens Limited (Portglenone, GB). The FDA issued a Not Cleared (DENG) decision on October 17, 2025 after a review of 303 days.

This device falls under the Gastroenterology & Urology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 876.5984 - the FDA gastroenterology and urology 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 303 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.
