K182743 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Patient-Specific Airway Stent. Classified as Prosthesis, Tracheal, Preformed/molded (product code NWA), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by New Cos, Inc. (Cleveland, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 23, 2019 after a review of 390 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.3720 - 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. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Anesthesiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
