K201876 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Soteria Bed Barrier. Classified as Mattress And Bed Deck Cover (medical Purposes) (product code QTV), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Trinity Guardion (Batesville, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 1, 2022 after a review of 786 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General & Plastic Surgery FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 880.6190 - the FDA general and plastic surgery 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 General & Plastic Surgery submissions.
