## Overview

- **Product Code:** LDM
- **Device Name:** Instrumentation, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography
- **Regulation:** [21 CFR 862.2260](/submissions/CH/subpart-c%E2%80%94clinical-laboratory-instruments/862.2260)
- **Device Class:** 1
- **Review Panel:** [Clinical Chemistry](/submissions/CH)

## Identification

A high pressure liquid chromatography system for clinical use is a device intended to separate one or more drugs or compounds from a solution by processing the mixture of compounds (solutes) through a column packed with materials of uniform size (stationary phase) under the influence of a high pressure liquid (mobile phase). Separation of the solutes occurs either by absorption, sieving, partition, or selective affinity.

## Classification Rationale

Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 862.9.
