K896017 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the THE OPHTHIMUS SYSTEM. Classified as Computer, Diagnostic, Programmable (product code DQK), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Hightech Vision (North Caldwell, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 2, 1990 after a review of 351 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.1425 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Cardiovascular review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
