K942735 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the CARBON DIOXIDE (C02). Classified as Enzymatic, Carbon-dioxide (product code KHS), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Teco Diagnostics (Placentia, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 20, 1995 after a review of 283 days - an extended review cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1160 - 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.
