K820720 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the RESPIRATOR MONITOR. Classified as Monitor, Airway Pressure (includes Gauge And/or Alarm) (product code CAP), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Rv Systems (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 26, 1982 after a review of 41 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.2600 - 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.
