K922208 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the FUKUDA DENSHI MODEL UF-4500. Classified as System, Imaging, Pulsed Echo, Ultrasonic (product code IYO), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Fukuda Denshi USA, Inc. (Redmond, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 30, 1993 after a review of 475 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.1560 - the FDA radiology and imaging software 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: 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.
