K920445 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SIEMENS SIRECUST PENTA SYSTEM AND ACCESSORIES. Classified as Monitor, Physiological, Patient(with Arrhythmia Detection Or Alarms) (product code MHX), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Siemens Medical Electronics (Danvers, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 2, 1993 after a review of 392 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.1025 - 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.
