Intended Use
IVD DEVICE CALIBRATION IS MOST COMMONLY PERFORMED USING CALIBRATORS (REFERENCE MATERIALS) SPECIFICALLY INTENDED TO BE USED AS A STANDARD CURVE OR CUT-OFF POINT FOR AN ASSAY. A CALIBRATOR HAS AN ASSIGNED VALUE THAT IS ESTABLISHED BY THE MANUFACTURER BY A REFERENCE METHOD. CALIBRATORS EXIST IN A VARIETY OF MATRICES SUCH AS SIMULATED AQUEOUS, SERUM. PLASMA OR OTHER TYPES OF SPECIMENS. PRIMARY REFERENCE CALIBRATORS ARE HIGHLY PURIFIED CHEMICALS THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY WEIGHED OR MEASURED TO PRODUCE A SOLUTION OF KNOWN CONCENTRATION. ALTERNATIVELY, THEY MAY BE MORE COMPLEX BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS HAVING RECEIVED A VALUE ASSIGNMENT USING REFERENCE (STANDARD) METHODOLOGY. THEY ARE SUPPLIED WITH A CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS FOR EACH LOT (FOR EXAMPLE, STANDARD REFERENCE MATERIALS (SRMS) FROM THE U.S. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY (NIST)). THE PRIMARY CALIBRATOR "CALIBRATION SOLUTION FOR OSMOMAT 010 / 030 / auto" IS USED TO CALIBRATE THE OSMOMETERS "OSMOMAT 030" AND "OSMOMAT AUTO", WHICH BOTH ARE FREEZING-POINT OSMOMETERS FOR USE IN CLINICAL CHEMISTRY. THE OSMOLALITY OF THE CALIBRATOR IS EQUAL TO THE OSMOLALITY OF BODY-FLUIDS (ISOTONIC SOLUTION), PROVIDING THAT THE OSMOMETER WILL BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY FOR THE FLUIDS TO BE MEASURED FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES.
Device Description
A FREEZING-POINT OR CRYOSCOPIC OSMOMETER IS A DEVICE TO MEASURE THE NUMBER OF MOLECULES OR IONS DISSOLVED IN A FLUID, IN THIS CASE, WATER. THE PHYSICAL EFFECT THE MEASUREMENT IS BASED ON IS THAT DISSOLVED SUBSTANCES IN WATER DEPRESS THE FREEZING POINT OF THE SOLUTION. THIS DEPRESSION IN THE FREEZING TEMPERATURE ITSELF, MEASURED EXACTLY, GIVES AN EXACT MEASURE FOR HOW MANY MOLECULES OR IONS ARE DISSOLVED IN THE AQUEQUS CALIBRATOR OR SPECIMEN. THIS EFFECT IS PHYSICAL, WHICH MEANS THAT THE CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE CALIBRATOR OR SPECIMEN REMAIN UNCHANGED. AS ANY DISSOLVABLE SUBSTANCE CAUSES THIS EFFECT, THE RESULT OF THE MEASUREMENT GIVES NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE IDENTITY AND/OR COMPOSITION OF THE SUBSTANCES DISSOLVED, IF THERE SHOULD BE SEVERAL. THE MEASURED VALUE EXPRESSES IF THE RANGE OF OSMOLALITY OF THE SPECIMEN IS TO BE EXPECTED AS BEING NORMAL FOR A SPECIMEN FROM A HEALTHY HUMAN BEING. OR THE OSMOLALITY SHOWS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PATIENT. FURTHER MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS WOULD FOLLOW. IN THE CALIBRATOR THE ONLY SUBSTANCE DISSOLVED IS SODIUM CHLORIDE. SO THE VALUE OF THE OSMOLALITY ALSO REPRESENTS THE CONCENTRATION OF SODIUM CHLORIDE. TO MEASURE THE FREEZING-POINT-DEPRESSION. THE SAMPLE IS FROZEN CAREFULLY. THE EXACT TEMPERATURE OF THE FLUID IS MEASURED AT ANY TIME WHILE THE SAMPLE IS COOLED DOWN. THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH THE FLUID FREEZES TO ICE IS DETERMINED EXACTLY AND THE INTERNAL CALCULATOR OF THE OSMOMETER CALCULATES AND DISPLAYS THE EQUIVALENT OSMOLALITY OF THE LIQUID. IN MATRICES LIKE URINE THE MEASUREMENT SHOWS IF THE KIDNEYS WORK PROPERLY ASSUMABLY.

No
The description focuses on the physical principle of freezing-point depression and a simple internal calculator, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No
The device described is a calibrator for measuring osmolality, which is used for diagnostic purposes (e.g., to determine if kidneys are working properly or if a patient's osmolality is abnormal), not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device described is a calibrator solution used to calibrate osmometers. While the osmometer itself is a diagnostic device that measures osmolality in fluid to assess patient health, the calibrator is a reference material used to ensure the accuracy of that diagnostic device, rather than directly diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical calibrator solution and its use with freezing-point osmometers, which are hardware devices. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided text, the device described, "CALIBRATION SOLUTION FOR OSMOMAT 010 / 030 / auto", is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The text explicitly states the calibrator is "USED TO CALIBRATE THE OSMOMETERS 'OSMOMAT 030' AND 'OSMOMAT AUTO', WHICH BOTH ARE FREEZING-POINT OSMOMETERS FOR USE IN CLINICAL CHEMISTRY." Clinical chemistry is a branch of laboratory medicine that deals with the analysis of body fluids for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
  • Purpose of Calibration: The calibration is performed to ensure the osmometers are "calibrated correctly for the fluids to be measured for medical purposes." This directly links the calibrator's use to medical diagnosis.
  • Role in Diagnosis: The text explains that the osmometer measurement, calibrated by this solution, helps determine if the osmolality of a specimen is "to be expected as being normal for a specimen from a healthy human being. Or the osmolality shows that something is wrong with the patient." This indicates the measurement is used to provide information for medical diagnosis.
  • Predicate Device: The listed predicate device, K931834; Sodium/Potassium standard modified, is also a standard used in clinical chemistry, further supporting the IVD nature of the described calibrator.

While the calibrator itself is a reference material and not the instrument performing the measurement, its intended use is specifically to enable the accurate performance of an IVD instrument (the osmometer) for diagnostic purposes. Therefore, the calibrator is considered an IVD device component or accessory.

Dear Mr. Brock:

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. Iisting 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).

4.2 Indications for Use

IVD DEVICE CALIBRATION IS MOST COMMONLY PERFORMED USING CALIBRATORS (REFERENCE MATERIALS) SPECIFICALLY INTENDED TO BE USED AS A STANDARD CURVE OR CUT-OFF POINT FOR AN ASSAY.

A CALIBRATOR HAS AN ASSIGNED VALUE THAT IS ESTABLISHED BY THE MANUFACTURER BY A REFERENCE METHOD. CALIBRATORS EXIST IN A VARIETY OF MATRICES SUCH AS SIMULATED AQUEOUS, SERUM. PLASMA OR OTHER TYPES OF SPECIMENS.

PRIMARY REFERENCE CALIBRATORS ARE HIGHLY PURIFIED CHEMICALS THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY WEIGHED OR MEASURED TO PRODUCE A SOLUTION OF KNOWN CONCENTRATION. ALTERNATIVELY, THEY MAY BE MORE COMPLEX BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS HAVING RECEIVED A VALUE ASSIGNMENT USING REFERENCE (STANDARD) METHODOLOGY. THEY ARE SUPPLIED WITH A CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS FOR EACH LOT (FOR EXAMPLE, STANDARD REFERENCE MATERIALS (SRMS) FROM THE U.S. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY (NIST)).

THE PRIMARY CALIBRATOR "CALIBRATION SOLUTION FOR OSMOMAT 010 / 030 / auto" IS USED TO CALIBRATE THE OSMOMETERS "OSMOMAT 030" AND "OSMOMAT AUTO", WHICH BOTH ARE FREEZING-POINT OSMOMETERS FOR USE IN CLINICAL CHEMISTRY. THE OSMOLALITY OF THE CALIBRATOR IS EQUAL TO THE OSMOLALITY OF BODY-FLUIDS (ISOTONIC SOLUTION), PROVIDING THAT THE OSMOMETER WILL BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY FOR THE FLUIDS TO BE MEASURED FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES.
