K090277 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the NATUS SLEEPWORKS, MODEL 104017. Classified as Automatic Event Detection Software For Polysomnograph With Electroencephalograph (product code OLZ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Excel-Tech Ltd. (Xltek) (Oakville, CA). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 19, 2011 after a review of 804 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.
