K121012 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the FLEXLAB 3.6, ACCELERATOR A3600. Classified as Electrode, Ion Specific, Potassium (product code CEM), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Inpeco S.P.A. (Segrate, Milan, IT). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 31, 2012 after a review of 150 days - an extended review cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1600 - 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. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Chemistry review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
