K933544 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the FUJINON VIDEO LAPORASCOPE. Classified as Hysteroscope (and Accessories) (product code HIH), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Fujinon, Inc. (New York, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 27, 1995 after a review of 644 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Obstetrics & Gynecology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 884.1690 - the FDA obstetrics and gynecology 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 Obstetrics & Gynecology submissions.
