K944961 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PERSONAL ALARM SYSTEM (PAS).

Submitted by Cytoprobe Corp. (San Diego, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 7, 1995 after a review of 304 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General & Plastic Surgery FDA review panel. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the General & Plastic Surgery review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
