K833478 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HUMPHREY A.D.E. SYSTEM. Classified as Circuit, Breathing (w Connector, Adaptor, Y Piece) (product code CAI), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Anaesthetic Breathing System (Walker, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 16, 1983 after a review of 53 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5240 - 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.
