K810348 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the CM 3. Classified as Valve, Non-rebreathing (product code CBP), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Instrumentation Industries, Inc. (Walker, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 23, 1981 after a review of 13 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5870 - 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.
