K141518 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Nellcor Bedside Respiratory Patient Monitoring System. Classified as Oximeter (product code DQA), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Covidien (Boulder, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 5, 2015 after a review of 269 days - an extended review cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.2700 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Anesthesiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

Device Classification

Product Code DQA Oximeter
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 870.2700
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 Anesthesiology devices follow this clearance model.
