K875263 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ANALYTES SODIUM & POTASSIUM ASSAYED ON TECH RA(R). Classified as Electrode, Ion Specific, Sodium (product code JGS), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Technicon Instruments Corp. (Tarrytown, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 8, 1988 after a review of 48 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1665 - 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.
