K873529 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HYBRIWICK SYSTEM: HERPES DNA PROBE TEST KIT. Classified as Antigen, Cf (including Cf Control), Herpesvirus Hominis 1,2 (product code GQN), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Diagnostic Hybrids, Inc. (Athens, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 25, 1988 after a review of 359 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3305 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Microbiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
