K965106 is an FDA 510(k) submission (not cleared) for the ELC 35-UP MODEL NUMBER 116015 AND ELC 54-UP MODEL NUMBER 115606. Classified as Permanent Pacemaker Electrode (product code DTB), Class III - Premarket Approval.

Submitted by Biotronik, Inc. (Lake Oswego, US). The FDA issued a Not Cleared (DENG) decision on January 27, 1998 after a review of 403 days.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.3680 - the FDA cardiovascular device oversight framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway requires demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device - a standard the FDA determined was not met in this submission.

Device pattern: Regulatory edge-case submission. High predicate equivalence gap. With 403 days under review and no clearance granted, this submission reflects a case where the FDA could not confirm sufficient predicate equivalence - often indicating either a novel device category or unresolved safety and performance questions.
