No
The summary describes a quantitative assay for Ammonia in plasma, which is a chemical analysis method and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is used for in vitro diagnostic determination of Ammonia in plasma, which aids in diagnosis and treatment but does not directly provide therapy.

Yes
Ammonia measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of severe liver disorders, indicating its role in identifying or confirming a disease state.

No

The device description clearly states "Ammonia-L3K @ Assay, Cat. No. 233", which indicates a physical assay kit, not a software-only device. The intended use also describes an "IN VITRO quantitative determination," further suggesting a laboratory test involving physical reagents and equipment.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use / Indications for Use: The description explicitly states "For the IN VITRO quantitative determination of Ammonia in plasma." The phrase "IN VITRO" is a key indicator of an IVD, meaning the test is performed outside of the living body, typically on biological samples like plasma.
  • Device Description: The device is an "Assay," which is a common term for a laboratory test used to measure the amount of a substance in a sample.
  • Purpose: The intended use also mentions that the measurements are used in the "diagnosis and treatment of severe liver disorders, such as cirrhosis, and Reye's Syndrome." This indicates the test is used for medical purposes to aid in diagnosis and treatment decisions, which is a core function of IVDs.

Trade/Device Name: Ammonia-L-3K® Assay Regulation Number: 21 CFR 862.1065 Regulation Name: Ammonia test system Regulatory Class: Class I Product Code: JIF Dated: December 17, 2003 Received: January 7, 2004

Dear Ms. Olscamp:

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).
