K942200 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ISOLYSER OREX SURGEON'S CAPS, HOODS, BOUFFANT CAPS. Classified as Accessory, Surgical Apparel (product code LYU), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Thantex Specialties, Inc. (Norcross, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 7, 1995 after a review of 459 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4040 - the FDA general hospital 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 General Hospital submissions.
