K930331 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SPECTACLE FRAME. Classified as Frame, Spectacle (product code HQZ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Australian Optical Co., Inc. (Kansas City, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 8, 1993 after a review of 320 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Ophthalmic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 886.5842 - the FDA ophthalmic 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 Ophthalmic review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
