K854320 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ACKRAD ORAL SUCTION TUBE. Classified as Catheters, Suction, Tracheobronchial (product code BSY), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Ackrad Laboratories (Cranford, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 10, 1986 after a review of 74 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.6810 - 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.

Device pattern: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
