More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a quality control serum for laboratory testing, which is a chemical reagent, not a software or hardware device that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
This device is a quality control serum used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to treat or cure a disease.

No
Explanation: The device is a quality control serum used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to diagnose a patient's condition.

No

The device is a quality control serum, which is a physical substance used in laboratory testing, 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 for B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)." This is a classic function of an IVD, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: It's a "quality control serum" prepared from human serum with added constituents. This is a common form for IVD control materials.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: It's used in "laboratory testing procedures," which is the typical setting for IVDs.

While it doesn't directly diagnose a disease, it's a crucial component in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic tests (in this case, BNP tests), which falls under the scope of IVDs.

§ 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.

4.0 Description of Device

Liquichek BNP Control is prepared from human serum with added constituents of human and animal origin, preservatives and stabilizers. The control is provided in liquid form.

5.0 Statement of Intended Use

  • 6.0 Liquichek BNP Control is intended for use as a quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for the B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP).
    The Liquichek BNP Control does not contain sodium azide as a preservative. It contains a broadspectrum anti-microbial cocktail as a preservative where the concentration of any one ingredient is less than 0.1%. At this low level, these ingredients are not expected to cause a health hazard to the user. And thus, domestic and international regulations do not require this type of information on the vial or box label.

7.0 Comparison of the new device with the Predicate Device

Liquichek BNP Control claims substantial equivalence to the Liquichek™ Cardiac Markers Control LT currently in commercial distribution. The new Liquichek BNP Control is a 3 level product (Level 1, 2, and 3) and contains only BNP. The current product is a multi-analyte product and does not contain BNP.

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 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).
