K945216 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AES, (ANESCO EVACUATION SYSTEM) ACTIVE WASTE ANESTHETIC GAS EVACUATION SYSTEM. Classified as Apparatus, Gas-scavenging (product code CBN), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Anesco (Georgetown, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 15, 1995 after a review of 325 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.5430 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Anesthesiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Anesthesiology devices follow this clearance model.
