K930498 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the NEUROMED OCTRODE MODEL MNT-98 NEUROSTIMULATOR TRAN. Classified as Stimulator, Spinal-cord, Implanted (pain Relief) (product code GZB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Neuromed, Inc. (Ft. Lauderdale, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 12, 1994 after a review of 679 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Neurology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 882.5880 - the FDA neurology 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 Neurology submissions.
