K843077 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ELISA FOR HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS. Classified as Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay, Herpes Simplex Virus, Non-specific (product code LGC), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Scientific Research (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 21, 1985 after a review of 319 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3305 - 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.

LGC Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code LGC Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay, Herpes Simplex Virus, Non-specific
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.3305
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.
