K903480 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HANN-VAC TM, DISPOSABLE,SUCTION CATHETER. Classified as Catheters, Suction, Tracheobronchial (product code BSY), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Un-I-Med, Inc. (Murray, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 1, 1991 after a review of 425 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.6810 - 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.
