K843905 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the TRAUMA CARE EVALUATION. Classified as Multivariate Vital Signs Index (product code PLB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Quantitative (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 26, 1985 after a review of 358 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.2300 - the FDA general hospital 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the General Hospital review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most General Hospital devices follow this clearance model.
