K160415 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the GEM Premier 5000 (Measured parameters: Hematocrit, Total Hemoglobin, Carboxyh.... Classified as Instrument, Hematocrit, Automated (product code GKF), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Instrumentation Laboratory CO (Bedford, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 14, 2016 after a review of 306 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 864.5600 - 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.
