K802316 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PDS THERMAL DILUTION CARDIAC MODULE(OUT). Classified as Computer, Diagnostic, Pre-programmed, Single-function (product code DXG), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by General Electric Co. (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 26, 1980 after a review of 64 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.1435 - the FDA cardiovascular device oversight 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.
