More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the stability and composition of a quality control serum, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a quality control serum used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "Assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures." It is a control material used to assess the performance of diagnostic tests, not to diagnose a condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly states it is a liquid control material prepared from human serum and other constituents, indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed in the package insert." This clearly indicates the device is used in vitro (outside the body) to evaluate the performance of laboratory tests.
  • Device Description: The description states it's "prepared from human serum with added constituents..." and is used as a "control." Controls are a fundamental part of IVD testing to ensure accuracy and reliability.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is "laboratory," which is the typical setting for IVD testing.

The information provided strongly aligns with the definition and purpose of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 862.1660 Quality control material (assayed and unassayed).

(a)
Identification. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except when intended for use in donor screening tests, quality control materials (assayed and unassayed) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

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 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 Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP 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.
