No
The document describes a quality control material for laboratory testing, not a device that processes data or images using AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
This device is an assayed quality control used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to treat a medical condition.

No

This device is a quality control for D-dimer testing procedures, not a device used to diagnose a patient. Its intended use is to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to provide diagnostic information about a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a liquid control material prepared from processed human plasma, indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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 for D-dimer." This is a classic function of a quality control material used in laboratory testing.
  • Device Description: It's a "quality control" prepared from biological materials (human plasma) with added constituents and preservatives, provided in liquid form. This aligns with the description of a reagent or material used in in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: It's intended for "laboratory testing procedures," which is the setting where IVD tests are performed.

While it doesn't directly diagnose a disease, it is a crucial component used in conjunction with an IVD test to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. Quality controls are considered IVDs because they are used in vitro (outside the body) to assess the performance of other IVD devices.

Re: K032017 Trade/Device Name: Liquichek™M D-dimer Control Regulation Number: 21 CFR § 864.5425 Regulation Name: Multipurpose System for in vitro coagulation studies Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GGN Dated: June 26, 2003 Received: July 1, 2003

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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.
