K881655 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SPECTRUM(TM) BLOOD GAS AND ELECTROLYTE CONTROL. Classified as Electrolyte Controls (assayed And Unassayed) (product code JJR), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Biomedical Research & Development Laboratories, Inc. (Oklahoma City, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 27, 1988 after a review of 42 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.

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.
