K231950 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MEDIDIODE. Classified as Powered Laser Surgical Instrument within the GEX classification (a category for powered laser surgical instruments across multiple specialties), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Medicreations, LLC (Las Vegas, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 9, 2024 after a review of 406 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 878.4810 - the FDA general and plastic surgery device framework. As a Special 510(k), this submission covers a manufacturer modification to an existing cleared device rather than a new device introduction.

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.
