K932222 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SLT FEMORAL HEAD. Classified as Prosthesis, Hip, Semi-constrained, Metal/ceramic/polymer, Cemented Or Non-porous, Uncemented (product code LZO), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Dow Corning Wright (Arlington, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 27, 1994 after a review of 385 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3353 - 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.
