K220052 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Copan FecalSwab Collection, Transport and Preservation System. Classified as Culture Media, Non-propagating Transport (product code JSM), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Copan Italia Spa (Brescia, IT). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 16, 2022 after a review of 344 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.2390 - 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.
