No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology. The device description and intended use point to a standard in vitro diagnostic kit.

No
The device is an "In Vitro measurement" kit used to measure human mulcations, which may aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease, which would make it a therapeutic device.

Yes
The device is described as aiding in the "diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis," which indicates its intended use is for diagnostic purposes.

No

The summary describes an "In Vitro measurement kit" and a "Human Rheumatoid Factor Kit," which strongly suggests a physical kit containing reagents and potentially hardware for laboratory testing, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the kit is designed for the "In Vitro measurement of human mulcations for 050." The phrase "In Vitro measurement" is a key indicator of an IVD. It also mentions that the measurement "may aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis," which is a diagnostic purpose.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "Kit," which is a common format for IVD products containing reagents and materials for testing.

The information provided strongly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

Dear Mr. Geller:

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). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
