K101286 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SEDARA GAS MIXER, SEDARA SCAVENGER MODEL: 03, 04. Classified as Mixer, Breathing Gases, Anesthesia Inhalation (product code BZR), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Linde Healthcare AB (Lidingo, SE). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 20, 2011 after a review of 531 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5330 - 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: 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 Anesthesiology submissions.
