The summary describes a rapid visual test for antigen detection, which is a traditional immunoassay method and does not mention any AI/ML components or image processing.
No
The device is described as a "rapid visual test for the presumptive, qualitative detection of group A streptococcal antigen from throat swab specimens." This indicates a diagnostic purpose (detection), not a therapeutic one (treatment or prevention).
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is a "rapid visual test for the presumptive, qualitative detection of group A streptococcal antigen from throat swab specimens," which directly points to its function in diagnosing a condition.
No
The device is described as a "rapid visual test" for detecting streptococcal antigen from throat swabs. This description strongly implies a physical test kit or assay, not a software-only device. The lack of any mention of software, algorithms, or digital processing further supports this conclusion.
Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative detection of group A streptococcal antigen from throat swab specimens." This involves testing a sample taken from the body (in vitro) to diagnose or provide information about a medical condition (streptococcal infection).
- Specimen Type: It uses "throat swab specimens," which are biological samples taken from a patient.
- Purpose: The purpose is to detect an "antigen," which is a biological marker related to a disease.
These characteristics are defining features of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.3740
Streptococcus spp. serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Streptococcus spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera (excluding streptococcal exoenzyme reagents made from enzymes secreted by streptococci) used in serological tests to identifyStreptococcus spp. from cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genusStreptococcus and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Pathogenic streptococci are associated with infections, such as sore throat, impetigo (an infection characterized by small pustules on the skin), urinary tract infections, rheumatic fever, and kidney disease.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.

Trade/Device Name: SAS™ StrepAlert Regulation Number: 21 CFR 866.3740 Regulation Name: Streptococcus spp. Serological reagents Regulatory Class: Class I Product Code: GTY Dated: September 30, 2002 Received: October 1, 2002
Dear Mr. Martinez:
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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and 1 additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR 807.97).
