K933870 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the VIBA-BRUSH. Classified as Spatula, Cervical, Cytological (product code HHT), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Rovers B.V. (Nyack, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 5, 1995 after a review of 517 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Obstetrics & Gynecology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 884.4530 - 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.
