K203248 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Albumin BCG2. Classified as Bromcresol Green Dye-binding, Albumin (product code CIX), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Abbott Ireland Diagnostics Division (Longford, IE). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 23, 2021 after a review of 384 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1035 - 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.
