Device Description

All calibrator materials included in this submission are aqueous, primary standards containing known amounts of each component for in vitro diagnostic use. Standardization is achieved by gravimetric procedure. Verification is performed using available NIST Standard Reference materials.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for Verichem Laboratories Inc.'s diagnostic calibrators. It describes the properties and intended use of several calibrator kits, including Carbon Dioxide Standard Kit, Urine Chemistry Standard Kit, Urine Uric Acid Standard Kit, Electrolyte Standard Kit, Cholesterol Standard Kit, Uric Acid Standard Kit, ISE Standard Kit, ISE Standard (S4), and Multi-Chemistry Standard Kit.

This document is a regulatory submission for in vitro diagnostic calibrators, not for an AI/ML-based medical device. Therefore, the concepts of "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" as they relate to AI/ML performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, reader studies, ground truth establishment by experts) are not applicable to this type of device.

Instead, the performance of these calibrators is based on analytical performance characteristics, primarily:

  • Precision/Reproducibility: Stated as typically <3.0% coefficient of variation.
  • Traceability: Achieved through the use of NIST Standard Reference Materials or equivalent primary standards.
  • Value Assignment: Determined by gravimetric procedures using standard source materials of known purity, verified against NIST materials.
  • Stability: Monitored through real-time stability studies, with acceptance criteria defined by Verichem's Quality Control End Test Procedure, using freshly prepared identical product as reference and including NIST material.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or information regarding AI/ML-specific study design elements (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert consensus, MRMC studies, standalone performance, adjudication methods) because this document does not describe the validation of an AI/ML device.

The document's purpose is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices based on shared intended use, analytes, manufacturing methods (gravimetric), and analytical performance characteristics relevant to calibrators. The "study" here is primarily a demonstration of adherence to established quality control procedures and traceability standards for chemical calibrants.

Standard/Guidance Document Reference (if applicable):

FDA / CDRH: Abbreviated (510k) Submissions for In Vitro Diagnostic Calibrators: Final Guidance for Industry - Version 2011. Date: 02/22/1999

Test Principle:

Not applicable.

Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

l . Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:

The precision performance specifications are defined in the individual quality control test protocols. These are typically less than 3.0 % coefficient of variation. Precision performance for the lowest concentration set is based on resolution of the analyzer at that level.

{3}------------------------------------------------

b. Linearity/assay reportable range: Not applicable.

c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):

See each individual Comparative Information Table for the specific NIST Standard Reference materials used.

d. Methodology for Concentration Verification: Each product Certificate of Analysis includes a description of the methodology used to verify the gravimetric concentration. This document is included in each kit.

VALUE ASSIGNMENT:

Assigned concentrations are primary standard values. These standard values are assigned by gravimetric procedure and indicate weight per volume composition using standard source materials of known purity. The gravimetric concentrations are verified and lot certified using NIST Standard Reference materials or equivalent primary standards if NIST is not available. Reference method verification is used when available.

STABILITY:

Real time stability studies are conducted according to Verichem Standard Operating Procedure number 40. Acceptance criteria for multi-level components are identical to the Verichem Quality Control End Test Procedure. Our real time stability testing utilizes a freshly prepared identical product as a reference to determine change in analyte concentration over time. NIST material is included in the stability testing.

e. Detection limit: Not applicable.

f. Analytical specificity: Not applicable.

Conclusion: We have shown that these Verichem devices are similar to the predicate devices in terms of analytes, intended use, performance characteristics, value assignment, matrix and stability. I recommend that this device be found substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to the predicate device(s).

§ 862.1150 Calibrator.

(a)
Identification. A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also § 862.2 in this part.)(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
