K894215 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the EVOLUTION ULTRASONIC. Classified as Nebulizer, Medicinal, Non-ventilatory (atomizer) (product code CCQ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Medical Industries America, Inc. (West Des Moines, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 16, 1990 after a review of 301 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5640 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Anesthesiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
