The summary describes a visual test for antigen detection, which is a standard immunoassay technique and does not mention any computational or learning-based components.
No
The device is described as a visual test for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcus antigen, which makes it a diagnostic device, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are used for treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that it is a "visual test for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcus antigen in throat swab specimens." Detecting an antigen to identify a pathogen for diagnosis is a diagnostic function.
No
The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes a "visual test for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcus antigen in throat swab specimens." This strongly implies a physical test kit or hardware component is involved in the detection process, not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the SASTM StrepAlert device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcus antigen in throat swab specimens." This involves testing a sample taken from the body (in vitro) to diagnose a condition (detecting the presence of a specific antigen).
- Specimen Type: It uses "throat swab specimens," which are biological samples taken from a patient.
- Purpose: The purpose is to detect a specific substance (Group A Streptococcus antigen) within that sample to aid in diagnosis.
These are all key characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
SAS™ StrepAlert is a visual test for the qualitative detection of Strep A antigen from throat swab specimens. The test is for professional use.

§ 866.3740
Streptococcus spp. serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Streptococcus spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera (excluding streptococcal exoenzyme reagents made from enzymes secreted by streptococci) used in serological tests to identifyStreptococcus spp. from cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genusStreptococcus and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Pathogenic streptococci are associated with infections, such as sore throat, impetigo (an infection characterized by small pustules on the skin), urinary tract infections, rheumatic fever, and kidney disease.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.
