K891385 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the VITEK IMMUNODIAGNOSTIC ASSAY SYSTEM (VIDAS). Classified as Igg, Antigen, Antiserum, Control (product code DEW), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Vitek Systems, Inc. (Hazelwood, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 18, 1989 after a review of 40 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.5510 - 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.
