K812147 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the CARDIORATER CR-7. Classified as Monitor, Cardiac (incl. Cardiotachometer & Rate Alarm) (product code DRT), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Life Science Instrumentation, Inc. (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 25, 1981 after a review of 59 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.2300 - 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.
