K894514 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TEST PANEL. Classified as Manual Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Systems (product code JWY), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Alamar Biosciences Laboratory, Inc. (Napa, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 6, 1989 after a review of 110 days - within the typical 510(k) review window.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.1640 - 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. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Microbiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
