K883178 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the TRIAD-EP, PUSHBUTTON, CABLE INPUT TYPE. Classified as Pacemaker, Cardiac, External Transcutaneous (non-invasive) (product code DRO), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Cardiotronics, Inc. (West Carlsbad, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 9, 1988 after a review of 105 days - within the typical 510(k) review window.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.5550 - 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.
