K202636 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Metallic Fabric Electrodes. Classified as Electrode, Cutaneous (product code GXY), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Guangzhou Xinbo Electronic Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou, CN). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 16, 2021 after a review of 339 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Neurology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 882.1320 - the FDA neurology 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 Neurology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
