K843673 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS. Classified as Antigen, Cf (including Cf Controls), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (product code GQG), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Institute Virion , Ltd. (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 26, 1985 after a review of 374 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3480 - 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.
