K133431 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the VENUE 50. Classified as System, Imaging, Pulsed Doppler, Ultrasonic within the IYN classification (a category covering pulsed Doppler and ultrasound imaging systems), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Ge Healthcare (Wauwatosa, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 24, 2013 after a review of 46 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.1550 - the FDA radiology and imaging software 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
