K100344 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the DIMENSION VISTA LOCI CA 15-3 FLEX REAGENT CARTRIDGE, DIMENSION VISTA LOCI 7 C.... Classified as System, Test, Immunological, Antigen, Tumor (product code MOI), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics (Newark, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 18, 2011 after a review of 437 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Immunology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.6010 - the FDA immunology 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: 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 Immunology submissions.
