More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a quality control serum for laboratory testing, with no mention of AI or ML technology in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is a quality control serum intended to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No
The device is described as a quality control serum used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to diagnose a condition in a patient.

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 is "intended for use as a quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures". This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. While this specific device is a control, it is used within the process of performing diagnostic tests.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it is prepared from human serum with added constituents, which are typical components of materials used in laboratory testing.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is described as being involved in "laboratory testing procedures", which is the environment where IVDs are used.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

  • 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 Cardiac Markers Plus Controls claims substantial equivalence to the Liquichek™ Cardiac Markers Control LT currently in commercial distribution. The new Liquichek Cardiac Markers Plus Controls contain B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), Creatine Kinase, Total and C-Reactive Protein (CRP). The current product does not contain these analytes.

Dear Ms. Platt:

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).
