K021660 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the K-ASSAY LP(A) ASSAY. Classified as Lipoprotein, Low-density, Antigen, Antiserum, Control (product code DFC), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Kamiya Biomedical Co. (Seattle, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 25, 2002 after a review of 66 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.5600 - 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.
