More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a quality control serum for laboratory testing and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as a quality control serum for monitoring the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not for treating specific medical conditions.

No

The device is a quality control serum used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to diagnose a disease or condition in a patient.

No

The device is a liquid control material, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "monitoring the precision of laboratory testing procedures." This is a key characteristic of IVD devices, which are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. While this specific control doesn't directly diagnose a patient, it's an essential component of the diagnostic process by ensuring the accuracy of the tests being performed.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it's prepared from "human serum" and used in "laboratory testing procedures." This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which involves testing biological samples in a laboratory setting.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is "laboratory testing procedures," further reinforcing its use within a clinical laboratory environment.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K981532; Lyphochek Immunoassay Plus Control) which is also a quality control material for immunoassay testing, strongly suggests that this device falls under the same regulatory category as its predicate, which are typically classified as IVDs.

While the document doesn't contain information about image processing, AI/ML, or patient-specific details, the core function and context of the device clearly place it within the realm of In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 862.1660 Quality control material (assayed and unassayed).

(a)
Identification. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except when intended for use in donor screening tests, quality control materials (assayed and unassayed) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

Dear Ms Parsons:

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 the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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 Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. 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 legally
