Intended Use

The Microgel Alkaline Hemoglobin Electrophoresis test kit is intended for qualitative and semiquantitative determination of normal hemoglobins (A1, A2 and F) as well as certain abnormal or variant hemoglobins (S or D and C or E) using agarose gel. To distinguish hemoglobins S from D or C from E an alternate confirmatory test such as acid hemoglish hemoglobin electrophoresis is necessary. The electrophoretic test is performed at allialine pH and provides a valuable screening method for hemoglobin patterns. Densitometry of the pattern allows the relative quantification of hemogram patism belief allows the pattern allows the relative automated Microod instrument automated Microgel instrument.

The Microgel Acid Hemoglobin Electrophoresis kit is a qualitative test for the identification of both normal and abnomal or variant hemoglobins, and to confirm the identify of clinication of hemoglobins such as A. E. Gand O. Th hemoglobins such as A, F, S and C. The Acid Hemoglobin test kit employs agarose gel at acidic pH and is for in vitro diagnes and of The Rold Hemoglouin test Kit Employs agarose gel at acidid Microgel instrument Microgel instrument.

Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain detailed information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria. It is a 510(k) clearance letter for the "Microgel Hemoglobin Test Systems by Electrophoresis."

This document primarily states:

  • The device name and its regulatory classification.
  • That the device has been found substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
  • The intended use of the device, which includes qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of various hemoglobins using electrophoresis.
  • General regulatory requirements.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information, including:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample size for the test set and data provenance.
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  4. Adjudication method.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study results.
  6. Standalone performance details.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

This type of detailed performance data is typically found in the full 510(k) submission, not summarized in the clearance letter itself.

Dear Mr. Lehnus:

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). 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 a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
