Submitted by Mitsubishi Chemical Medience Corporation (Bethesda, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 27, 2014 after a review of 385 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.
This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1150 - the FDA in vitro diagnostics and chemistry framework. As a Special 510(k), this submission covers a manufacturer modification to an existing cleared device rather than a new device introduction.
Device pattern: Iterative device modification. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This Special 510(k) clearance confirms that the manufacturer's modifications remained within the established regulatory envelope of the original cleared device.
