K103467 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the CMOS VIDEO RHINO-LARYNGOSCOPE SYSTEM MODEL 11101CM. Classified as Nasopharyngoscope (flexible Or Rigid) (product code EOB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America, Inc. (El Segundo, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 28, 2012 after a review of 582 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Ear, Nose, Throat FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 874.4760 - the FDA ear, nose and throat device framework. As a Special 510(k), this submission covers a manufacturer modification to an existing cleared device rather than a new device introduction.

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 Ear, Nose, Throat submissions.
