K934336 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SPINALPLANE. Classified as Instrument, Surgical, Orthopedic, Pneumatic Powered & Accessory/attachment (product code HSZ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Synvasive Technology, Inc. (Rancho Cordova, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 10, 1995 after a review of 549 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.
