K111603 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LINEBACKER(TM) TRANSSEPTAL INTRODUCER, 53CM / 62CM / 72CM. Classified as Introducer, Catheter (product code DYB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Ep Dynamics, Inc. (Mission Viejo, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 23, 2012 after a review of 442 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.1340 - the FDA cardiovascular device oversight 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 Cardiovascular submissions.
