K885306 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the NUPREP. Classified as Electrode, Electrocardiograph (product code DRX), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Weaver & Co. (Aurora, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 23, 1989 after a review of 58 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.2360 - 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
