K915767 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MODEL 143 SERIES BLOOD PRODUCT IRRADIATORS. Classified as Irradiator, Blood To Prevent Graft Versus Host Disease (product code MOT).

Submitted by J. L. Shepherd and Assoc. (San Fernando, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 12, 1995 after a review of 1296 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel. 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 Radiology submissions.
