K933101 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the THE OSTEOMED B POWER SYSTEM AND ACCESSORIES. Classified as Instrument, Surgical, Orthopedic, Dc-powered Motor And Accessory/attachment (product code KIJ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Osteomed Corp. (Irving, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 7, 1994 after a review of 501 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4820 - 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: 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 Orthopedic submissions.
