More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a quality control serum, which is a chemical reagent used to monitor the accuracy of laboratory tests. There is no indication of any software or algorithmic component, let alone AI/ML.

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

No
This device is described as an "assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures," not to diagnose an illness or condition in a patient. It is used to ensure the accuracy of diagnostic tests.

No

The device is a liquid quality control serum, which 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 use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed in the package insert." This clearly indicates it's used in vitro (outside the body) to assess the performance of laboratory tests.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it's prepared from human serum and used in liquid form, consistent with a laboratory reagent or control.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: It's intended for use in a "laboratory," which is the typical setting for IVD testing.

Quality control materials like this are a crucial part of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of IVD tests.

§ 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.

Liquichek Cardiac Markers Control LT is prepared from human serum with added constituents of human and animal origin, preservatives and stabilizers. The control is provided in liquid form.

5.0 Statement of Intended Use

Liguichek Cardiac Markers Control LT is intended for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory procedures listed in the package insert.

6.0 Preservatives:

The Liquichek Cardiac Markers Control LT does not contain sodium azide as a preservative. It contains a broad-spectrum anti-microbial cocktail as a preservative where the concentration of any one ingredient is less than 0.1%. At this low level, these ingredients are not expected to cause a health hazard to the user. And thus, domestic and international regulations do not require this type of information on the vial or box label.
