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.
Multiplex Flow Immunoassay, T. Gondii, Rubella, Cmv Igm
Microbiology
The Multiplex Flow Immunoassay, T. Gondii, Rubella, CMV IgM is a microbiology diagnostic kit used for the simultaneous qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella, and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in human serum and plasma, aiding in the diagnosis of these TORCH infections particularly in pregnant women or immunocompromised patients. It is classified as FDA Class II under regulation 21 CFR 866.3510, requiring 510(k) premarket notification clearance and compliance with general and special controls. The product code is PUQ and it falls under the Microbiology medical specialty. It is not flagged as an implant or life-sustaining device.

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.
