K932088 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AUTOPAK STERILIZATION POUCH. Classified as Sterilization Wrap Containers, Trays, Cassettes & Other Accessories (product code KCT), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Ongard Meddevice Packaging, Inc. (Denver, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 17, 1994 after a review of 566 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 880.6850 - the FDA general hospital 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 General Hospital submissions.
