K991293 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the EPSTIM ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY STIMULATOR CONTROL PROGRAM, BLOOM DTU-215 ELECTROPHY.... Classified as Generator, Pulse, Pacemaker, External Programmable (for Electrophysiological Studies Only) (product code JOQ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Fischer Medical Technologies, Inc. (Denver, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 5, 2000 after a review of 386 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Cardiovascular FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 870.1750 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Cardiovascular review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

JOQ Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code JOQ Generator, Pulse, Pacemaker, External Programmable (for Electrophysiological Studies Only)
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 870.1750
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 Cardiovascular devices follow this clearance model.
