K926002 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ALAMAR BACTERIAL IDENTIFICATION TEST PANEL. Classified as Kit, Identification, Enterobacteriaceae (product code JSS), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Alamar Biosciences Laboratory, Inc. (Sacramento, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 23, 1993 after a review of 300 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.2660 - 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.
