K940061 - POLYMEDIC SPINAL NEEDLE AND INTRODUCER (FDA 510(k) Clearance)

K940061 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the POLYMEDIC SPINAL NEEDLE AND INTRODUCER. Classified as Needle, Conduction, Anesthetic (w/wo Introducer) (product code BSP), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Techniques Medicales DE Navaree (Washington, D.C., US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 21, 1995 after a review of 714 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5150 - 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.
