K121248 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LIQUOGUARD CSF LIQUOGUARD CSF TUBING SET (1500MM) LIQUOGUARD CSF TUBING SET (.... Classified as Shunt, Central Nervous System And Components (product code JXG), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Moller Medical GmbH (Corona, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 13, 2013 after a review of 597 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.
