K813265 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the 3M STERI-STRIP ANTIMICROBIAL SKIN CLOS. Classified as Tape And Bandage, Adhesive (product code KGX), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by 3M Company (White City, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 9, 1983 after a review of 446 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 880.5240 - the FDA general and plastic surgery 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: 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.
