K950101 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the RAMS (RANDOM ACCESS MASS SPECTROMETER) M-200 RESPIRATORY GAS MONITOR. Classified as Analyzer, Gas, Halothane, Gaseous-phase (anesthetic Conc.) (product code CBS), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Marquette Electronics, Inc. (Milwaukee, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 21, 1995 after a review of 69 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.1620 - 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
