K930966 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the BAUMER PLATES. Classified as Plate, Fixation, Bone within the HRS classification (a category comprising bone fixation plates and orthopedic hardware), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Baumer Ortopedia , Ltd. (Mogi Mirim-Sp-Brasil, BR). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 25, 1994 after a review of 425 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3030 - the FDA orthopedic device regulatory 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 Orthopedic submissions.
