K981840 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the CO2. Classified as Enzymatic, Carbon-dioxide (product code KHS), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Abbott Laboratories (Irving, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 8, 1998 after a review of 13 days - a notably fast clearance 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.
