More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a quality control serum for laboratory testing and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

This device is a quality control material used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to diagnose a patient's condition.

No

The device is a quality control serum, which is a physical substance used in laboratory testing, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "monitoring the precision of laboratory testing procedures." This is a key characteristic of IVD devices, which are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it's prepared from "human serum" and is used in "laboratory procedures." This further supports its use in a laboratory setting for analyzing human samples.
  • Quality Control: The term "quality control serum" is a strong indicator of an IVD. Quality control materials are essential components of IVD testing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results.

While the document doesn't explicitly use the acronym "IVD," the description and intended use clearly align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Stability studies have been performed to determine the open vial stability and shelf life for the Liquichek™ Cardiac Markers Control LT. Product claims are as follows:

  • Open vial: Once the control material is thawed and opened, all analytes will be stable for 20 days when stored tightly capped at 2-8°C, with the following exceptions: Troponin I. Troponin T and Homocysteine will be stable for 10 days.
  • Do not refreeze the control once it has been thawed.
    Shelf Life: Two years when stored at - 20 °C or colder
    Real time studies will be ongoing to support the shelf life of this product.
    All supporting data is retained on file at Bio-Rad Laboratories.

§ 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.

6.0 Preservatives:

The Liquichek™ Cardiac Markers Control LT does not contain sodium azide as a preservative. It contains a broad-spectrum anti-microbial cocktail as a preservative where the concentration of any one ingredient is less than 0.1%. At this low level, these ingredients are not expected to cause a health hazard to the user. And thus, domestic and international regulations do not require this type of information on the vial or box label.

7.0 Comparison of the new device with the Predicate Device

Cardiac Markers Control LT claims substantial equivalence to the Liquichek™ Liquichek™ Cardiac Markers Control LT and Liquichek™ Cardiac Markers Control currently in commercial distribution.

Dear Ms. Platt:

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 or any I vith 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.
