The N-Assay TIA C3 Test Kit is intended to be used for the quantitation of C3 in human serum by immunoturbidimetric assay. The measurement of C3 aids in the diagnosis of immunological disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.

Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the "N-Assay TIA C3 Test Kit." This type of document primarily confirms that a new medical device is substantially equivalent to a previously marketed device (predicate device) and can therefore be marketed.

It describes the intended use of the device: "The N-Assay TIA C3 Test Kit is intended to be used for the quantitation of C3 in human serum by immunoturbidimetric assay. The measurement of C3 aids in the diagnosis of immunological disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components."

However, this document does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, reported device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert involvement. These details would typically be found in the 510(k) submission itself, not in the FDA's clearance letter. The letter only states that the device has been reviewed and found substantially equivalent.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer the questions based on the provided text.

Dear Ms. Rees:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval) , it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling requlation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588.

§ 866.5240 Complement components immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A complement components immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques complement components C1q , C1r , C1s , C2 , C3 , C4 , C5 , C6 , C7 , C8 , and C9 , in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. Complement is a group of serum proteins which destroy infectious agents. Measurements of these proteins aids in the diagnosis of immunologic disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
