K871098 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the TRYPTIC SOY AGAR. Classified as Culture Media, Non-selective And Non-differential (product code JSG), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by bioMerieux, Inc. (Addison, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 3, 1987 after a review of 16 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.2300 - the FDA microbiology device 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.
