K951751 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HICHEM AST REAGENT KIT. Classified as Nadh Oxidation/nad Reduction, Ast/sgot (product code CIT), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Hichem Diagnostics (Brea, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 2, 1995 after a review of 107 days - within the typical 510(k) review window.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1100 - 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.
