No
The summary describes a fluorescence immunoassay analyzer and test kits for measuring cardiac markers. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No
The device is described as a "fluorescence Immunoassay Analyzer for the rapid measurement of myoglobin, CK, CK-MB, and Tnl," which indicates it is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device is explicitly stated to measure biomarkers (myoglobin, CK, CK-MB, and TnI) which are used to diagnose cardiac conditions. This fits the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device is described as a "Test Kit" and is intended for use with an "Analyzer," both of which are hardware components. The summary does not mention any software-only functionality.

Yes, based on the provided information, the Alpha Dx Cardiac Panel Test Kit is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the kit is for the "rapid measurement of myoglobin, CK, CK-MB, and Tnl." These are biomarkers measured in biological samples (likely blood or serum) to aid in the diagnosis or assessment of cardiac conditions. This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Method: The method described is "fluorescence Immunoassay Analyzer," which is a common technique used in in vitro diagnostics to detect and quantify specific substances in biological samples.

The fact that it's a "Test Kit" used with an "Analyzer" further supports its role in performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

§ 862.1215 Creatine phosphokinase/creatine kinase or isoenzymes test system.

(a)
Identification. A creatine phosphokinase/creatine kinase or isoenzymes test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme creatine phosphokinase or its isoenzymes (a group of enzymes with similar biological activity) in plasma and serum. Measurements of creatine phosphokinase and its isoenzymes are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and muscle diseases such as progressive, Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Holland:

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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
