K936054 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the IMX SELECT CHLAMYDIA. Classified as Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay, (chlamydiae Group) (product code LJC), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Abbott Laboratories (Abbott Park, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 30, 1996 after a review of 891 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3120 - 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.
