No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the intended use describes manual or computer-assisted analysis, not necessarily AI/ML driven.
No
The device is described as controls for counting sperm, which is a diagnostic or laboratory tool, not a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is described as a control for counting sperm, not as a tool for diagnosing medical conditions. Controls are used to ensure the accuracy of diagnostic instruments, but are not themselves diagnostic.
No
The summary describes "QC-Beads TM" intended for use as controls in counting sperm. This strongly suggests a physical product (beads) used in conjunction with microscopy or computer-assisted analysis, not a standalone software device. The lack of any mention of software functionality further supports this conclusion.
Based on the provided information, the device "QC-Beads TM" is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the beads are "intended for use as controls in counting sperm manually using a microscope or automatically using computer assisted semen analysis instruments." This indicates that the device is used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze a biological sample (semen) for diagnostic purposes (counting sperm, which is a key parameter in fertility assessment).
While the other sections are "Not Found," the intended use alone is sufficient to classify this device as an IVD. IVDs are defined by their use in examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. Using these beads as controls in semen analysis fits this definition.

§ 864.8625 Hematology quality control mixture.
(a)
Identification. A hematology quality control mixture is a device used to ascertain the accuracy and precision of manual, semiautomated, and automated determinations of cell parameters such as white cell count (WBC), red cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Except when intended for use in blood components, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

Trade/Device Name: QC-BeadsTM Regulation Number: 21 CFR § 864.8625 Regulation Name: Hematology quality control mixture Regulatory Class: II Product Code: NRF Dated: October 1, 2004 Received: October 4, 2004
Dear Dr. Deutsch:
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.
OCT 2 9 2004
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.
