K984299 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the AVL OPTI CRITICAL CARE ANALYZER. Classified as Electrode, Ion Specific, Calcium (product code JFP), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Avl Scientific Corp. (Roswell, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 11, 1998 after a review of 10 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1145 - 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.
