No
The summary describes a standard laboratory chemistry analyzer and ELISA kits for thyroid hormone testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The focus is on the chemical analysis of blood samples.

No
The device is used for diagnosis of thyroid disorders by measuring hormones from patient serum samples, not for treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the measurement of the hormones obtained by this device "is used for the diagnosis of thyroid disorders."

No

The description clearly states the device is used to "obtain blood chemistry information from patient serum samples" and mentions "ELISA kits," which are hardware components used in laboratory testing. This indicates the device is a system that includes hardware, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device will be used to "obtain blood chemistry information from patient serum samples" and that the measurements are used for the "diagnosis of thyroid disorders." This aligns directly with the definition of an IVD, which are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Specimen Type: The device uses "patient serum samples," which are biological specimens derived from the human body.
  • Diagnostic Purpose: The results obtained from the device are used for the "diagnosis of thyroid disorders."

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ChemWell device is clearly intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

Dear Mr. Van Slooten:

We have reviewed your Section 510/k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801): good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
