K893218 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AP900/PRP MODULE AND ACCESSORIES, MODIFICATION. Classified as Apparatus, Autotransfusion (product code CAC), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Electromedics, Inc. (Englewood, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 12, 1990 after a review of 411 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5830 - 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: 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 Anesthesiology submissions.
