Submitted by Electronic Waveform Laboratory, Inc. (Huntington Beach, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 9, 2009 after a review of 360 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Physical Medicine FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 890.5850 - the FDA physical medicine device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Physical Medicine review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
