Intended Use
The CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control kit is intended for use as an assayed control, when performing the CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Kit on the CellTracks® AutoPrep System, to ensure that the sample detection and identification systems are working. For in vitro diagnostic use.
Device Description
The CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control contains single-use vials of fixed cells from a breast carcinoma cell line (SKBR-3). Each vial contains two populations of cells for high and low level control. A CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control vial is substituted for a patient sample to verify the performance of the CellSearch™Epithelial Cell Kit reagents (K031588), sample processing by the CellTracks® AutoPrep System (K040077), and cell analysis by the CellSpotter® Analyzer(K031588). Each single use vial in the CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control Kit contains two populations of SKBR-3 cells at different concentrations (low and high). The two cell populations are distinguished from each other by use of fluorescent dyes that are specific for each population. This permits simultaneous enumeration of low and high control cell populations by the CellSpotter® Analyzer. The control cells are fully compatible with CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Kit reagents and are magnetically captured by the CellSpotter® Analyzer and acquired as images that are displayed to the user for final classification. The cells are differentiated as control cells by the detection of fluorescence in the high or low control channels of the CellSpotter® Analyzer. The CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control Kit contains 24 single-use bottles of CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Controls. Each bottle contains 3.5 mL of two populations of fixed SKBR-3 cells (a human breast carcinoma derived cell line) in Histopaque®(Sigma Aldrich Trademark), 5% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% sodium azide.
More Information

No
The device is a control kit containing fixed cells used to verify the performance of an existing system. The description focuses on the composition and function of the control cells themselves, not on any analytical or interpretive capabilities that would typically involve AI/ML. The analysis of the cells is performed by the CellSpotter® Analyzer, which is a separate device mentioned as a reference.

No
The device is described as an "assayed control" used for in vitro diagnostic purposes to ensure systems are working, not to treat a condition.

No

This device is described as an "assayed control" and its purpose is to "ensure that the sample detection and identification systems are working" of the CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Kit on the CellTracks® AutoPrep System. It is used to verify the performance of other diagnostic systems, not to diagnose a patient directly. Its intended use is "For in vitro diagnostic use," but specifically as a control, not as the diagnostic tool itself.

No

The device is a physical kit containing vials of fixed cells, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "For in vitro diagnostic use."
  • Function: The device is intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) to control and verify the performance of another IVD device (the CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Kit) and associated systems (CellTracks® AutoPrep System and CellSpotter® Analyzer) which are used for detecting and enumerating circulating tumor cells in whole blood. This is a classic function of an IVD control.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed (K031588 Control Cell Kit) is also described as being "cleared with the CellSearch Epithelial Cell Kit/Cellspotter," further indicating its role as a control for an IVD system.

Predicate Device 2.3.6

The CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control Kit is substantially equivalent to the Control Cell Kit cleared with the CellSearch Epithelial Cell Kit/Cellspotter 510(k) #K031588.

Device Description 2.3.7

The CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control contains single-use vials of fixed cells from a breast carcinoma cell line (SKBR-3). Each vial contains two populations of cells for high and low level control. A CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control vial is substituted for a patient sample to verify the performance of the CellSearch™Epithelial Cell Kit reagents (K031588), sample processing by the CellTracks® AutoPrep System (K040077), and cell analysis by the CellSpotter® Analyzer(K031588).

Each single use vial in the CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control Kit contains two populations of SKBR-3 cells at different concentrations (low and high). The two cell populations are distinguished from each other by use of fluorescent dyes that are specific for each population. This permits simultaneous enumeration of low and high control cell populations by the CellSpotter® Analyzer. The control cells are fully compatible with CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Kit reagents and are magnetically captured by the CellSpotter® Analyzer and acquired as images that are displayed to the user for final classification. The cells are differentiated as control cells by the detection of fluorescence in the high or low control channels of the CellSpotter® Analyzer.

The CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Control Kit contains 24 single-use bottles of CellSearch™ Epithelial Cell Controls. Each bottle contains 3.5 mL of two populations of fixed SKBR-3 cells (a human breast carcinoma derived cell line) in Histopaque®(Sigma Aldrich Trademark), 5% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% sodium azide.
