AI/ML Overview

This document is a FDA clearance letter for the Luminex ARIES® M1 System, an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) platform. It primarily describes the regulatory approval rather than a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria with performance metrics.

Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, and specific study designs (like MRMC or standalone performance) is not available within the provided text.

The document states the "ARIES® M1 System is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) platform that performs nucleic acid based tests in clinical laboratories" and that it "is capable of automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids from multiple sample types as well as the automated amplification of target nucleic acid sequences by fluorescence-based PCR." This is a description of its capabilities rather than performance statistics.

To answer your request, a detailed performance study report from Luminex Corporation would be required, which is typically a separate document submitted to the FDA as part of the 510(k) application, but not included in this clearance letter.

Dear Ms. Hughes:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the

§ 862.2570 Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems.

(a)
Identification. Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems is a device intended to measure and sort multiple signals generated by an assay from a clinical sample. This instrumentation is used with a specific assay to measure multiple similar analytes that establish a single indicator to aid in diagnosis. Such instrumentation may be compatible with more than one specific assay. The device includes a signal reader unit, and may also integrate reagent handling, hybridization, washing, dedicated instrument control, and other hardware components, as well as raw data storage mechanisms, data acquisition software, and software to process detected signals.(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. The special control is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Instrumentation for Clinical Multiplex Test Systems.” See § 862.1(d) for the availability of this guidance document.
