K890182 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PROTEGRAFT DV 1500, 1900 & LOW POR, UNIGRAFT DV. Classified as Prosthesis, Vascular Graft, Of 6mm And Greater Diameter (product code DSY), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Aesculap Instruments Corp. (Danville, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 28, 1990 after a review of 406 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.3450 - 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: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Cardiovascular submissions.
