K864527 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the DUOCEPH. Classified as Holder, Head, Radiographic (product code IWY), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Gary E. Hall, Dds (Plymouth, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 7, 1987 after a review of 51 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.1920 - the FDA radiology and imaging software 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
