K083577 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HARMONIE SYSTEM. Classified as Full-montage Standard Electroencephalograph (product code GWQ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Stellate Systems (Montreal, Quebec, CA). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 29, 2011 after a review of 999 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Neurology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 882.1400 - the FDA neurology 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 Neurology submissions.
