K953805 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the 0.9% SODIUM CHLORIDE DILUENT IN PLASTIC SYRINGE. Classified as Catheter, Intravascular, Therapeutic, Short-term Less Than 30 Days (product code FOZ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Abbott Laboratories (Abbott Park, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 28, 1996 after a review of 325 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 880.5200 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the General Hospital review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
