K101381 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HORIZONTAL-VERTICAL LUMBAR VALVE AND SPETZLER LUMBAR PERITONEAL SHUNT SYSTEMS. Classified as Shunt, Central Nervous System And Components (product code JXG), Class II - Special Controls.
Submitted by Integra LifeSciences Corporation (Planisboro, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 7, 2011 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 882.5550 - 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.
