K944159 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HM-CAP EIA KIT. Classified as Helicobacter Pylori (product code LYR), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Schiff & Co. (West Cadwell, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 18, 1995 after a review of 326 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Microbiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.3110 - 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Microbiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
