Intended Use
The Triage BNP test is intended for use with Beckman Coulter Immunoassay Systems (Access, Access 2, Synchron LXi 725 and UniCel Dxl 800) for the In Vitro quantitative measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in plasma specimens using EDTA as the anticoagulant. The test is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of congestive heart failure (also referred to as heart failure). The test also is used for the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes and for the risk stratification of patients with heart failure.

No
The summary describes a quantitative immunoassay for measuring BNP, a standard laboratory test, and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is a diagnostic test intended to measure BNP levels to aid in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure, not a device that provides therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "The test is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of congestive heart failure... The test also is used for the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes and for the risk stratification of patients with heart failure." This clearly indicates its use in diagnostic processes.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic test kit that measures BNP in plasma specimens using immunoassay systems. It is a physical test, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • "In Vitro quantitative measurement" is explicitly stated in both the Intended Use and Device Description sections. This is a key characteristic of an IVD, meaning the test is performed outside of the living body.
  • "in plasma specimens" indicates that the test is performed on a biological sample taken from the patient.
  • "aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of congestive heart failure" and "risk stratification of patients" describe the clinical purpose of the test, which is to provide information for medical decision-making.

These elements clearly align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

E. Summary of Substantial Equivalence

Various peer-reviewed publications have described the utility of BNP measurements as an aid in the risk stratification of patients with heart failure. Higher BNP concentrations or the lack of a decrease in the BNP concentration from hospital admission to discharge indicate an increased risk of hospitalization or death in patients with heart failure.

The device and test method described in this Premarket Notification is identical in principle, reagents and procedure to its predecessor, the currently marketed Triage BNP Test for the Beckman Coulter Immunoassay (K033383).

Moreover, the Triage BNP Test (K051787) serves as the predicate method for the use of a circulating biomarker to provide prognostic information in patients with heart failure. The use of the Triage BNP Test for the Beckman Coulter Immunoassay Systems as an aid in the risk stratification of patients with heart failure is substantially equivalent to the predicate method.

F. Conclusion

In conclusion, the data presented in this Premarket Notification demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Triage BNP Test for the Beckman Coulter Immunoassay Systems to currently marketed devices which have been reviewed and cleared through the 510(k) Premarket Notification process. Such data are a critical element in establishing the fundamental safety and effectiveness of the device and its appropriateness for commercial distribution.

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).
