K791096 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the RADIOIMMUNOASSAY TEST SYSTEM. Classified as Radioimmunoassay (two-site Solid Phase), Ferritin (product code JMG), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Corning Medical & Scientific (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 3, 1979 after a review of 52 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Immunology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.5340 - the FDA immunology 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.
