HDL/LDL-Advance Calibrator is used to calibrate HDL Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol Assays in serum. HDL is high density lipoprotein and LDL is a low density lipoprotein.

Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter for an in vitro diagnostic device, specifically the "HDL/LDL-ADVANCE Calibrator, Cat. No. SE-278". This type of document typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting extensive de novo performance study results that would include detailed acceptance criteria tables, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert consensus details, or MRMC studies.

Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details, expert involvement, and comparative effectiveness studies is not available in the provided document.

The document states that the device is a calibrator used to calibrate HDL Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol assays. Calibrators are reference materials used to establish the relationship between a measurement signal and the concentration of an analyte. The primary evidence for their performance often revolves around their traceability to certified reference materials, their stability, and their ability to produce accurate and precise results when used with their intended assays, rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity or specificity.

To address your specific points based on the limited information available in this type of document:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not available. The document is a clearance letter, not a detailed study report.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not available.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable for a calibrator and not available.
  4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable for a calibrator and not available.
  5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is an in vitro diagnostic calibrator, not an AI-based diagnostic tool for human image interpretation.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used: For a calibrator, "ground truth" would typically refer to the assigned values of HDL and LDL in the calibrator material, which are established through a robust metrological process, often traceable to higher-order reference methods or materials, not expert consensus on pathology or outcomes data. This specific information detail is not in the document.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is a calibrator, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Re: K041926

Trade/Device Name: HDL/ LDL-ADVANCE Calibrator, Cat. No. SE-278 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 862.1150 Regulation Name: Calibrator Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: JIX Dated: October 13, 2004 Received: October 14, 2004

Dear Ms. Olscamp:

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.

If you desire specific information about the application of labeling requirements to your device, or questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 594-3084. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
