CCJ Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code CCJ Analyzer, Gas, Carbon-monoxide, Gaseous-phase
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 868.1430
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. Clinical trial data may be submitted as supporting evidence to strengthen the substantial equivalence argument. Most Toxicology devices follow this clearance model.
