K973437 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HEWLETT-PACKARD MODELS M1001B ECG M1002B ECG/RESPIRATION PLUG-IN MODULES. Classified as Electrocardiograph (product code DPS), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Hewlett-Packard GmbH (Wuerttemberg, DE). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 3, 1997 after a review of 84 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.2340 - the FDA cardiovascular device oversight framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
