Device Description

This is a liquid product prepared from human whole blood containing preservatives and stabilizers.

AI/ML Overview
  1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Open vial Stability: 14 days at 2°C to 8°C14 days at 2°C to 8°C
    Shelf Life: 3 years at -10°C to -70°C or 6 months when stored tightly capped at 2°C to 8°C3 years at -10°C to -70°C or 6 months when stored tightly capped at 2°C to 8°C
  2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
    The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the stability studies. The data provenance is "retained on file at Bio-Rad Laboratories," indicating it is internal company data, likely retrospective.

  3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
    Not applicable. This device is a quality control material, and its performance is assessed against predefined stability parameters, not through expert interpretation of data.

  4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
    Not applicable. The stability studies involve quantitative measurements against established criteria, not subjective expert review.

  5. MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study:
    Not applicable. This is a quality control material, not a diagnostic device that assists human readers.

  6. Standalone Performance:
    Yes, the reported performance is for the device standalone, as a quality control material. Its stability characteristics are assessed independently.

  7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
    The ground truth is established based on the intrinsic chemical and physical stability properties of the control material under specified storage conditions. This would typically involve laboratory measurements over time to assess the integrity and performance of the analytes within the control.

  8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
    Not applicable. This device is a quality control material, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.

  9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
    Not applicable. As noted above, this device does not involve a training set.

Dear Ms. Zeballos:

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).
