Device Classification

Product Code DXQ Blood Pressure Cuff
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 870.1120
Definition A Blood Pressure Cuff Is A Device That Has An Inflatable Bladder In An Elastic Sleeve (cuff) With A Mechanism For Inflating The Bladder. The Cuff Is Used To Determine A Subject's Blood Pressure.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Cardiovascular devices follow this clearance model.
