K960508 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PATHWAY ELECTROMYOGRAPH MODEL PATHWAY II/MR-10/MR-15/MR-20/MR-25. Classified as Perineometer (product code HIR), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by The Prometheus Group (Portsmouth, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 16, 1997 after a review of 346 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Gastroenterology & Urology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 884.1425 - the FDA gastroenterology and urology 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 Gastroenterology & Urology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
