K942820 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the H292. Classified as Cells, Animal And Human, Cultured (product code KIR), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Bartels, Inc. (Issaquah, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 5, 1995 after a review of 324 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Pathology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 864.2280 - the FDA pathology 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Pathology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
