K895805 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SLIDEX ROTA-KIT 2. Classified as Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay, Rotavirus (product code LIQ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Vitek Systems, Inc. (Hazelwood, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 26, 1991 after a review of 516 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3405 - 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: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Microbiology submissions.
