K180510 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the NS 120P-TRS Airway Pressure Gauge. Classified as Monitor, Airway Pressure (includes Gauge And/or Alarm) (product code CAP), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Instrumentation Industries, Inc. (Bethel Park, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 1, 2019 after a review of 428 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.2600 - 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: 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 Anesthesiology submissions.

Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 868.2600
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Anesthesiology devices follow this clearance model.
