K961790 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the POINT-OF-CARE BLOOD GAS MONITOR SYSTEM. Classified as Analyzer, Gas, Carbon-dioxide, Partial Pressure, Blood-phase, Indwelling (product code CCC), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Optical Sensors, Inc. (Eden Prairie, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 9, 1997 after a review of 335 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Anesthesiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 868.1150 - 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.

CCC Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code CCC Analyzer, Gas, Carbon-dioxide, Partial Pressure, Blood-phase, Indwelling
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 868.1150
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.
