No
The device description and performance studies focus on the stability and composition of a quality control serum, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
This device is described as an "assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures," indicating it's used for quality control in lab testing, not for treating patients.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an "assayed quality control serum" used to "monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures." This indicates it is used to verify the accuracy of diagnostic tests, not to perform a diagnosis itself.

No

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

Based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "An assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for analytes listed in the package insert." This clearly indicates the device is used in vitro (outside the body) to evaluate the performance of laboratory tests.
  • Device Description: The description states it's "prepared from human serum with added serum proteins, constituents of animal origin, preservatives and stabilizers." This is a typical composition for an IVD control material.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is "laboratory testing procedures," which aligns with the use of IVDs in a laboratory setting.

Quality control materials like this are essential components of IVD testing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results.

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 Immunology Control. Product claims are as follows:

  • Open vial: Once the product is thawed and opened, all analytes will be stable for 30 days when stored tightly capped at 2 to 8°C with the exception of Rheumatoid Factor, which will be stable for 21 days.
  • Closed Vial: Once thawed and stored unopened at 2 to 8°C, all analytes will be stable for 90 days.
  • Shelf Life: Two years when stored at -- 10 to -- 20 °C.
    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.

Dear Ms. Zeballos:

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.
