K931395 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SERIES 5000 BATTERY POWERED INSTRUMENT SYSTEM. Classified as Instrument, Surgical, Orthopedic, Dc-powered Motor And Accessory/attachment (product code KIJ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Micro Surgical Instruments Corp. (Valencia, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 28, 1994 after a review of 315 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4820 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Orthopedic review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
