K883296 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LARYNGOSCOPE. Classified as Laryngoscope, Rigid (product code CCW), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Lothar Scharras (Washington, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 13, 1988 after a review of 70 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5540 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory device framework.
