More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laboratory control material for monitoring precision and does not mention any computational or analytical features that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a quality control material for laboratory testing procedures, not a device used for treating or diagnosing medical conditions.

No

This device is a control material used for monitoring the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions in patients.

No

The device description clearly states it is a suspension of stabilized human red blood cell components and other constituents, provided in liquid form. This indicates a physical, non-software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that Meter Trax is an "assayed whole blood control used in monitoring the precision of laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed in this package insert." This clearly indicates it's used in vitro (outside the body) to evaluate the performance of diagnostic tests.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the control material, which is a suspension of biological components and chemicals. This is consistent with the nature of IVD control materials.
  • Analytes: The listed analytes (Glucose, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit) are common parameters measured in clinical laboratory testing.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is a "laboratory," which is the typical setting for IVD testing.
  • Performance Studies: The mention of stability studies, while not providing full performance metrics, is a common requirement for IVD devices to demonstrate their reliability over time.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device with a K number (K904461) strongly suggests that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device.

The core function of Meter Trax is to serve as a quality control material for in vitro diagnostic tests. This directly aligns with the definition and purpose of an IVD.

Dear Ms. Zeballos:

Re:

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.
