K132172 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the NEONATALIE RESUSCITATOR. Classified as Ventilator, Emergency, Manual (resuscitator) (product code BTM), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Laerdal Medical A/S (Stavanger, NO). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 15, 2015 after a review of 549 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5915 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory device framework. The Abbreviated 510(k) pathway was used, relying on FDA-recognized standards to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Standards-verified equivalence. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Anesthesiology submissions.
