K200096 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Crosstex VH2O2 Chemical Indicators. Classified as Indicator, Physical/chemical Sterilization Process (product code JOJ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Crosstex International, Inc. (A Cantel Medical Company) (Rush, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 15, 2021 after a review of 546 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 880.2800 - the FDA general hospital device 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: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind General Hospital submissions.
