K863880 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the BLOOD GASES/ PO2, PCO2 AND BLOOD PH ANALYSIS PROD.. Classified as Electrode Measurement, Blood-gases (pco2, Po2) And Blood Ph (product code CHL), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by D.R.G. Scientific Industries (East Boston, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 24, 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 862.1120 - 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.
