K932867 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LIFE PULSE RESUSCITATION TIMER. Classified as Cpr Aid Device Without Feedback (product code PMK), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Green Field Medical Sourcing, Inc. (Northborough, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 25, 1994 after a review of 406 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.5210 - 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: 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 Anesthesiology submissions.
