K833763 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PERICARDIAL PATCH. Classified as Patch, Pledget And Intracardiac, Petp, Ptfe, Polypropylene (product code DXZ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by American Edwards Laboratories (Walker, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 1, 1984 after a review of 372 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.3470 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Cardiovascular review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
