K941352 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SSA-340A. Classified as System, Imaging, Pulsed Doppler, Ultrasonic within the IYN classification (a category covering pulsed Doppler and ultrasound imaging systems), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Toshiba America Medical Systems, In.C (Tustin, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 22, 1995 after a review of 641 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.1550 - the FDA radiology and imaging software 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. 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 Radiology submissions.
