K923229 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MEDARMOR FINGER TIP, PUNCTURE RESISTANT UNDERGLOVE. Classified as Accessory, Surgical Apparel (product code LYU), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Medical Armor Corp. (Fremont, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 7, 1993 after a review of 310 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4040 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the General Hospital review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
