The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and analytical performance of a hematocrit control solution, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as a "control" material used to "monitor and evaluate the analytical performance of the Medica EasyStat" analyzer for measuring hematocrit. It is clearly stated to be "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use," indicating it is used in lab testing, not for treating patients.
No
This device is a quality control material used to monitor the performance of a diagnostic device (Medica EasyStat analyzer) for measuring hematocrit. It does not diagnose medical conditions itself.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "specially formulated, two-level, aqueous liquid material" and an "electrolyte solution," indicating it is a physical, liquid control material, not software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" explicitly states "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use".
- Purpose: The device is intended to "monitor and evaluate the analytical performance" of another IVD device (the Medica EasyStat) for measuring a clinical parameter (hematocrit). This is a core function of IVD controls.
- Device Description: The description reinforces its use in "performing periodic QC checks" in laboratories, which is a standard practice in in vitro diagnostics.
The fact that it's a control material used to assess the performance of another diagnostic device firmly places it within the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic product.

Device Description
Medica EasyQC Hematocrit Control is a specially formulated, two-level, aqueous liquid material intended to monitor hematocrit measurement by the Medica EasyStat analyzer. Medica EasyQC Hematocrit Control provides a convenient method of performing periodic QC checks for laboratories selecting to measure liquid QC material as a part of their quality assurance program. Medica EasyQC Hematocrit Control is an electrolyte solution with conductivity at two levels appropriate to simulate clinically relevant hematocrit concentrations useful to evaluate the measurement of the Medica EasyStat Analyzer. Medica EasyQC Hematocrit Control is a non-hazardous aqueous solution containing no biological materials.

Dear Ms. Storro:
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.
