K942451 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the BIO-RAD CLINICAL DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. Classified as Instrumentation, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (product code LDM), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Bio-Rad (Hercules, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 10, 1994 after a review of 171 days - an extended review cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.2260 - 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. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Chemistry review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
