This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.3375 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Cardiovascular review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

DTK Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code DTK Filter, Intravascular, Cardiovascular
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 870.3375
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. Clinical trial data may be submitted as supporting evidence to strengthen the substantial equivalence argument. Most Cardiovascular devices follow this clearance model.
