K903733 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ICA PLASMA HDL AND LDL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM. Classified as Ldl & Vldl Precipitation, Hdl (product code LBR), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Institute For Clinical Applications (Boston, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on January 15, 1991 after a review of 152 days - an extended review cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1475 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Chemistry review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
