K781996 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ACID REAGENT, URIC SINGLE VIAL. Classified as Acid, Uric, Uricase (u.v.) (product code CDO), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Calbiochem-Behring Corp. (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 3, 1979 after a review of 35 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1775 - 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.
