K071591 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the RAMP INFLUENZA A/B ASSAY. Classified as Devices Detecting Influenza A, B, And C Virus Antigens (product code PSZ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Response Biomedical Corp. (Burnaby, British Columbia, CA). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 16, 2008 after a review of 310 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3328 - the FDA microbiology device 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 Microbiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

Device Classification

Product Code PSZ Devices Detecting Influenza A, B, And C Virus Antigens
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.3328
Definition An Influenza Virus Antigen Detection Test System Is A Device Intended For The Qualitative Detection Of Influenza Viral Antigens Directly From Clinical Specimens In Patients With Signs And Symptoms Of Respiratory Infection.
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 Microbiology devices follow this clearance model.
