No
The description details a standard HPLC system with microprocessors controlling automated processes and comparing retention times to "known windows". There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition beyond predefined rules, which are characteristic of AI/ML.
No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic use only, analyzing blood samples to measure glycated hemoglobin, and does not directly treat or manage a patient's condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The G7 Automated HPLC Analyzer is a high pressure liquid chromatography system intended for IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY." Additionally, it mentions that "Glycosylated system intended for wents obtained by this device are used in the management and treatment of diabetes," which indicates a diagnostic purpose for guiding patient care.
No
The device description explicitly lists numerous hardware components including a sampling unit, liquid pump, degasser, column, detector, microprocessors, sample loader, floppy disk drive unit, operation panel, and a printer. While software controls these processes, the device is fundamentally a hardware system.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicit Statement in Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The G7 Automated HPLC Analyzer is a high pressure liquid chromatography system intended for IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY."
- Purpose of the Device: The device is used to obtain glycosylated hemoglobin measurements (specifically stable A1c percentage) from whole blood. These measurements are then used in the "management and treatment of diabetes." This is a diagnostic purpose, as it provides information about a patient's health status to aid in clinical decision-making.
- Sample Type: The device analyzes "whole blood," which is a biological sample taken from the human body. This is characteristic of IVD devices.
- Analysis Method: The device uses High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to separate and measure components in the blood sample. This is a common analytical technique used in IVD testing.
The entire description points to a device designed to perform tests on biological samples outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a medical condition.

Device Description
The G7 Automated HPLC Analyzer: HbA1c Variant Analysis Mode is an automated High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system that separates and reports stable A1c (SA1c) percentage in whole blood. The operational portion of the HPLC G7 is composed of a sampling unit, liquid pump, degasser, column, detector, microprocessors, sample loader, floppy disk drive unit, operation panel and a printer.
The G7 uses a cation exchange column and separates the usual hemoglobin components in the blood into six fractions, A1a, A1b, F, L-A1c, SA1c and A0. The separation is done by eluting the hemoglobins from the column with a gradient of three elution buffers containing different salt concentrations. The result report is printed out from the on-board printer and can be stored on a floppy disk from the on-board floppy disk drive. The data can be transmitted to a host computer. The result report includes a sample ID, date, percentage and retention time of each fraction, SA1c percentage and total A1 percentage (A1a + A1b + SA1c) along with a chromatogram of the elution pattern of the hemoglobin fractions. If a sample contains a hemoglobin variant, the column elutes the material depending upon its charge. The software compares the retention times to "known windows" and designates the material as P0X or H-VX if it does not match a defined window.
All automated processes in the G7 are controlled by internal microprocessors, using software downloaded via the on-board floppy disk drive.

§ 864.7470 Glycosylated hemoglobin assay.
(a)
Identification. A glycosylated hemoglobin assay is a device used to measure the glycosylated hemoglobins (A1a , A1b , and A1c ) in a patient's blood by a column chromatographic procedure. Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin is used to assess the level of control of a patient's diabetes and to determine the proper insulin dosage for a patient. Elevated levels of glycosylated hemoglobin indicate uncontrolled diabetes in a patient.(b)
