K092991 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the O.S.C.A.R. (OPERATING SYSTEM FOR CONTROL AND RECORD KEEPING). Classified as Chamber, Hyperbaric (product code CBF), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Environmental Tectonics Corp. (Southampton, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 13, 2010 after a review of 319 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5470 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory 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 Anesthesiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
