K861010 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the VMA BY HPLC TEST (VANILMANDELIC ACID). Classified as Acid, Vanilmandelic, Diazo, P-nitroaniline/vanillin (product code CDF), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Bio-Rad (Richmond, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 1, 1986 after a review of 44 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1795 - 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.
