More Information

No
The summary describes a simple immunoassay (lateral flow test) for detecting Strep A antigen. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies. The description aligns with a traditional in vitro diagnostic test.

No

This device is a qualitative diagnostic test designed to detect the presence of Group A Strep antigen, aiding in diagnosis. It does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes
The text explicitly states that the device is a "diagnostic test" and its intended use is "to aid in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection."

No

The device description clearly states it is an "in vitro, simple, one step immunochromatographic diagnostic test," which is a hardware-based immunoassay, not software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states it's an "immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen directly from throat swab specimens to aid in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection." This clearly indicates it's used to test a sample taken from the human body (throat swab) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description further reinforces this by stating it's an "in vitro, simple, one step immunochromatographic diagnostic test for the rapid, qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen." The term "in vitro" is a direct indicator of an IVD.

§ 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.

    1. Device Name Trade Names: Status First™ Strep A FDA Classification Name: Immunoassay, Streptococcus SPP. (Microbiology Classification Device List)
    1. Identification of legally marketed device to which claims equivalence: BioSign StrepA, K971349
    1. Device Description: Status First"" Strep A is an in vitro, simple, one step immunochromatographic diagnostic test for the rapid, qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen
    1. Intended Use: Status First" Strep A is an immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen directly from throat swab specimens to aid in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection.
    1. Substantial Equivalence: The Status First" Strep A test is substantially equivalent in intended use, principle and performance to the current BioSign Strep A test. Both assays are in vitro immunochromatographic assays with an intended use as an aid in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection.

There is no formulation change associated with the BioSign Strep A labeling change. The two products are identical and use the same manufacturing processes. Only the sample extraction step is different in the package insert.

Conclusion: The device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, K971349.

Dear Dr. Kang:

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).
