K781300 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR. Classified as Generator, Oxygen, Portable within the CAW classification (a category for home-use oxygen therapy and respiratory devices), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Bendix Instruments & Life Support Div (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 16, 1978 after a review of 80 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5440 - 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
