K941262 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MARQUETTE DEFIB ELECTRODE. Classified as Automated External Defibrillators (non-wearable) (product code MKJ), Class III - Premarket Approval.

Submitted by Marquette Electronics, Inc. (Jupiter, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 20, 1995 after a review of 400 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.5310 - the FDA cardiovascular device oversight 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. High regulatory complexity profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Cardiovascular review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
