K932771 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the BATTERY POWERED, DISPOSABLE ENDOSCOPE LIGHT SOURCE. Classified as Source, Carrier, Fiberoptic Light (product code EQH), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Xomed-Treace, Inc. (Jacksonville, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 24, 1994 after a review of 442 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Ear, Nose, Throat FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 874.4350 - the FDA ear, nose and throat 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 Ear, Nose, Throat submissions.
