K071132 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the G8 AUTOMATED HPLC ANALYZER, MODEL HLC-723 G8. Classified as Assay, Glycosylated Hemoglobin (product code LCP), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Tosoh Bioscience, Inc. (South San Franciso, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 16, 2008 after a review of 512 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 864.7470 - 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: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Chemistry submissions.
