Intended Use
The Boehringer Mannheim Precinorm® TDM Controls are used to monitor accuracy and precision.
Device Story
Precinorm® TDM Controls are lyophilized, human serum-based control materials containing therapeutic drugs, stabilizers, and preservatives. Used in clinical laboratories to monitor the accuracy and precision of TDM assays. The device is prepared by reconstituting with distilled water. Value assignment is performed by comparing the control to analyte-specific and chemistry-specific calibrators. The controls provide a tri-level range for monitoring performance across various therapeutic drug assays, including T4, T3, amikacin, carbamazepine, cortisol, digoxin, and others. Healthcare providers use the output (measured control values) to verify the performance of their analytical systems, ensuring reliable patient test results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance characteristics, including dose assignment and stability, were established through bench testing and comparison to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized human serum-based control material. Contains therapeutic drugs, stabilizers, and preservatives. Tri-level formulation. Reconstituted with 3 mL distilled water. Analyte-specific value assignment via comparison to chemistry-specific calibrators.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a tri-level, human serum-based control material to monitor the accuracy and precision of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) assays in clinical laboratory settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A clinical toxicology control material is a device intended to provide an estimation of the precision of a device test system and to detect and monitor systematic deviations from accuracy resulting from reagent or instrument defects. This generic type of device includes various single, and multi-analyte control materials.

### 2. Device Name
Proprietary name: Precinorm® TDM Controls
Common name: Controls
Classification name: Single (specified) analyte controls (assayed + unassayed)
### 3. Predicate device
The Boehringer Mannheim Precinorm® TDM Controls are substantially equivalent to other products in commercial distribution intended for similar use. Most notably it is substantially equivalent to the Baxter Dade® IAC-X Comprehensive Immunoassay Control (K912455).
### 4. Device Description
The Boehringer Mannheim Precinorm® TDM Controls are manufactured using human serum albumin, therapeutic drugs, stabilizers, and preservatives. The analytes are appropriately spiked into the control matrix to the correct control concentration levels. The controls are in process checked, and a value assignment process is done via a comparison to an analyte specific (and chemistry specific) calibrator.

Dear Ms. Lloyd:
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 regulation (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.

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 regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588.
