Submitted by Ciba Corning Diagnostics Corp. (East Walpole, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 14, 1987 after a review of 9 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1660 - 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.
