K903660 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the DERMALIGHT PSORACOMB. Classified as Lamp, Infrared, Non Heating (product code IOB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Solitec GmbH (Planegg, DE). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 17, 1991 after a review of 341 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Physical Medicine FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 890.5500 - the FDA physical medicine 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 Physical Medicine review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
