K926362 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the GLUCOSTIX REAGENT STRIPS. Classified as Glucose Oxidase, Glucose (product code CGA), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Heraeus Kulzer, Inc. (Mishawaka, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 10, 1993 after a review of 324 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1345 - 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. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Chemistry review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

Device Classification

Product Code CGA Glucose Oxidase, Glucose
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 862.1345
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Chemistry devices follow this clearance model.
