K243931 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel: Influenza A/B Ty.... Classified as Influenza A And Influenza B Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay (product code OZE), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 14, 2025 after a review of 84 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3980 - 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.

Device Classification

Product Code OZE Influenza A And Influenza B Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.3980
Definition An Influenza A And Influenza B Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay Is A Multiplex In Vitro Diagnostic Test For The Simultaneous Qualitative Detection And Discrimination Of Influenza A And Influenza B Nucleic Acids Isolated And Purified From Human Respiratory Specimens Obtained From Individuals Exhibiting Signs And Symptoms Of Respiratory Tract Infections Or Viral Culture. The Detection And Discrimination Of Influenza A And B Nucleic Acids From Symptomatic Patients Aid In The Diagnosis Of Human Respiratory Tract Influenza Viral Infections If Used In Conjunction With Other Clinical And Laboratory Findings.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Microbiology devices follow this clearance model.
