More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a quality control serum for laboratory testing and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as an "unassayed quality control serum" used to "monitor precision of IgM laboratory testing procedures." It is not intended for diagnosis or treatment, but rather for quality control in laboratory settings, which is not a therapeutic use.

No

Explanation: This device is described as an "unassayed quality control serum" intended to "monitor precision of IgM laboratory testing procedures," not to diagnose a patient's condition. It contains known quantities of analytes to verify the proper functioning of diagnostic tests, rather than providing a diagnosis itself.

No

The device is a quality control serum, which is a biological material used in laboratory testing, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "monitoring precision of IgM laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed". This indicates it's used in vitro (outside the body) to evaluate the performance of diagnostic tests.
  • Device Description: It's a "quality control serum" used in laboratory testing.
  • Analytes: The listed analytes (CMV, EBV, HSV, Lyme, Rubella, Toxoplasma) are all targets of diagnostic tests for infectious diseases.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate devices listed (VIROCLEAR ToRCH & VIROCLEAR ToRCH -M) are also likely IVDs, further supporting the classification of this device.

While it's a quality control material and not a test that directly diagnoses a patient, it is an essential component used within the process of in vitro diagnostic testing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of those tests. Therefore, it falls under the definition of an IVD.

§ 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.
