K834422 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the PHENYLETHYL ALCOHOL AGAR PLATE. Classified as Culture Media, Selective And Non-differential (product code JSJ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Otisville Biotech, Inc. (Walker, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 23, 1984 after a review of 313 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.2360 - 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.
