K201675 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the VITEK 2 AST-Gram Negative Meropenem (<= 0.25 - >=16 µg/mL). Classified as System, Test, Automated, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, Short Incubation (product code LON), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by bioMerieux, Inc. (Hazelwood, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 9, 2021 after a review of 385 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.1645 - the FDA microbiology device 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 Microbiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
