K922979 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the STERILE EXTRA PROTECION SURGEON'S GLOVES. Classified as Surgeon's Gloves (product code KGO), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Ansell Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Melaka, MY). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 18, 1995 after a review of 940 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4460 - the FDA general hospital 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 General Hospital submissions.
