K910665 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MODEL 556 MONITOR W/24-HR. TREND RECALL/MODIFIED. Classified as Monitor, Cardiac (incl. Cardiotachometer & Rate Alarm) (product code DRT), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Ge Medical Systems Information Technologies (Wallingford, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 31, 1991 after a review of 323 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.2300 - 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.
