K833394 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MEDIUM 199 W/HANK'S SALT W/L-GLUTAMINE. Classified as Media And Components, Synthetic Cell And Tissue Culture (product code KIT), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Sigma Chemical Co. (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 3, 1983 after a review of 36 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 864.2220 - 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
