K850603 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SPQ TEST SYSTEM FOR ALPHA(2) MACROGLOBULIN. Classified as Alpha-2-macroglobulin, Antigen, Antiserum, Control (product code DEB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Applications Lab (Scarborough, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 5, 1985 after a review of 18 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Immunology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.5620 - 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.
