K932797 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PRESSURE LIMITING ELBOW. Classified as Ventilator, Emergency, Manual (resuscitator) (product code BTM), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Engineered Medical Systems (Indianapolis, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 3, 1993 after a review of 86 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5915 - the FDA anesthesiology and respiratory 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
