Submitted by Artec Environmental Monitoring Division (Walker, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 9, 1983 after a review of 62 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5320 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory device framework.
