K932482 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MEDIX BIOTECH BESTEST STREP A CAT. NO. BSF1010. Classified as Antisera, All Groups, Streptococcus Spp. (product code GTZ), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Medix Biotech, Inc. (Foster City, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 18, 1994 after a review of 420 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3740 - 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.
