K851521 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LD-1(IMMUNO) SEPARATION SET. Classified as Chromatographic Separation, Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzymes (product code CEX), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Seragen Diagnostics, Inc. (Indianapolis, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 10, 1985 after a review of 25 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1445 - 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.
