K951033 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ANDELA DYNAMIC COOLING DEVICE. Classified as Pack, Hot Or Cold, Disposable (product code IMD), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Candela Laser Corp. (Wayland, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 15, 1996 after a review of 528 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Physical Medicine FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 890.5710 - the FDA physical medicine 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 Physical Medicine submissions.
