K072348 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PRECISION OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR. Classified as Generator, Oxygen, Portable within the CAW classification (a category for home-use oxygen therapy and respiratory devices), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Precision Medical, Inc. (Northampton, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 27, 2008 after a review of 433 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5440 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory device framework. The Abbreviated 510(k) pathway was used, relying on FDA-recognized standards to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

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