K063304 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LIFE4C. Classified as Media, Corneal Storage (product code LYX).

Submitted by Numedis, Inc. (Monson, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 21, 2007 after a review of 415 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Ophthalmic FDA review panel. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Ophthalmic submissions.
