K914419 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AMNIOTEST(TM). Classified as Sampler, Amniotic Fluid (amniocentesis Tray) (product code HIO), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Pro-Lab, Inc. (Ontario Canada M5m 1c9, CA). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 1, 1993 after a review of 699 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 884.1550 - 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: 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 Chemistry submissions.
