K890517 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the TRANSCUTANEOUS O2/CO2 MONITOR. Classified as Monitor, Carbon-dioxide, Cutaneous (product code LKD), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Novametrix Medical Systems, Inc. (Wallingford, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 14, 1989 after a review of 74 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.2480 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory device 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.
