K915369 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the THE EQUALIZER. Classified as Transducer, Miniature Pressure (product code IKE), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Advanced Rehabilitative Technology, Inc. (San Antonio, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 22, 1993 after a review of 481 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Physical Medicine FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 890.1615 - 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: 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 Physical Medicine submissions.
