K090019 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the NATUS NEUROWORKS, MODEL 104196. Classified as Automatic Event Detection Software For Full-montage Electroencephalograph (product code OMB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Natus Medical, Inc. (Oakville, CA). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 22, 2010 after a review of 416 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 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 Neurology submissions.
