510(k) Predicate Finder
Find potential predicate devices for your 510(k) submission. Enter a K-number to find all clearances with the same product code, a three-letter product code to browse clearances directly, or search by device name.
Electrophoretic Separation, Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes
Clinical Chemistry
The Electrophoretic Separation, Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes test system (product code CIN) is an in-vitro diagnostic device used in clinical chemistry to separate and quantify alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in serum using electrophoretic techniques, providing information about the tissue of origin of elevated alkaline phosphatase activity for liver, bone, and other disease states. It is classified as FDA Class 2, indicating moderate risk, and requires a 510(k) premarket notification. It falls under regulation 21 CFR 862.1050 in the Clinical Chemistry medical specialty. This device is eligible for third-party review under the FDA's accredited persons program.

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
