K940093 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the EBV-EA(D) IGG ELISA TEST. Classified as Epstein-barr Virus, Other (product code LSE), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Gull Laboratories, Inc. (Salt Lake City, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on September 15, 1995 after a review of 616 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3235 - 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.
