K012741 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LIQUICHEK TDM CONTROL. Classified as Drug Mixture Control Materials (product code DIF), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Bio-Rad (Irvine, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 12, 2001 after a review of 27 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.3280 - the FDA in vitro diagnostics and chemistry 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.
