K961142 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the STRATEC LIA II ANALYZER. Classified as Analyzer, Chemistry (photometric, Discrete), For Clinical Use (product code JJE), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Nichols Institute Diagnostics (San Juan Capistrano, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 18, 1997 after a review of 334 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Hematology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.2160 - the FDA hematology 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 Hematology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
