K925982 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the BMD AIR/OXYGEN BLENDER. Classified as Mixer, Breathing Gases, Anesthesia Inhalation (product code BZR), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Biomedical Devices, Inc. (Madison, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 7, 1993 after a review of 316 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5330 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Anesthesiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
