K930954 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the THE CABOT MEDICAL INSUL-SHETH VAGINAL SPECULUM COV. Classified as Speculum, Vaginal, Nonmetal (product code HIB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Cabot Medical Corp. (Langhorne, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 30, 1994 after a review of 492 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Obstetrics & Gynecology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 884.4530 - the FDA obstetrics and gynecology 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 Obstetrics & Gynecology submissions.
