K924679 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the OXYCARE(TM) OXYGEN CONTROLLER/MONITOR. Classified as Monitor, Oxygen, Cutaneous, For Infant Not Under Gas Anesthesia (product code KLK), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Air-Shields Vickers, Inc. (Hatboro, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 21, 1995 after a review of 888 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.2500 - 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.
