K213046 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AceConnex Pre-Sutured Fascia. Classified as Suture, Nonabsorbable, Synthetic, Polyethylene (product code GAT), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Allosource (Centennial, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 27, 2023 after a review of 643 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 878.5000 - 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.
