K171401 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ELITech Clinical Systems BILIRUBIN TOTAL 4+1, ELITech Clinical Systems BILIRU.... Classified as Diazo Colorimetry, Bilirubin (product code CIG), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Elitechgroup (Sees, FR). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 11, 2017 after a review of 60 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1110 - 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
