K880967 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MICRO CO2 APPARATUS. Classified as Volumetric/manometric, Carbon-dioxide (product code CIE), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Hf Scientific, Inc. (Ft. Myers, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 28, 1988 after a review of 51 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1160 - 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.
