K872291 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ESCORT PORTABLE PATIENT MONITOR. Classified as Transducer, Pressure, Catheter Tip (product code DXO), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Medical Data Electronics (Arleta, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 25, 1987 after a review of 101 days - within the typical 510(k) review window.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.2870 - 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. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Cardiovascular review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
