K072142 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the S40 CLINICAL ANALYZER, S TEST ALP, S TEST AMYLASE, S TEST AST. Classified as Phenylphosphate, Alkaline Phosphatase Or Isoenzymes (product code CKF), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Alfa Wassermann Diagnostic Technologies, Inc. (West Caldwell, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 26, 2008 after a review of 329 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1050 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Chemistry review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
