K933086 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AFSC HEMO CONTROL #5331, AA2 HEMO CONTROL #5328. Classified as Control, Hemoglobin, Abnormal (product code JCM), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Helena Laboratories (Beaumont, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 31, 1994 after a review of 495 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Hematology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 864.7415 - the FDA hematology 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 Hematology submissions.
