K922876 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AS/3 COP MODULE. Classified as Analyzer, Gas, Enflurane, Gaseous-phase (anesthetic Concentration) (product code CBQ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Datex Division Instrumentarium Corp. (Helsinki, Finland, FI). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 21, 1993 after a review of 401 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.1500 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory 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 Anesthesiology submissions.

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 Anesthesiology devices follow this clearance model.
