K860748 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HITACHI 736. Classified as Analyzer, Chemistry (photometric, Discrete), For Clinical Use (product code JJE), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Boehringer Mannheim Corp. (Indianapolis, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 17, 1986 after a review of 49 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.2160 - 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.
