More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a linearity control for hematology analyzers, which is a standard laboratory control material. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is a linearity control intended to verify the reportable range of hematology analyzers, not to treat or diagnose patients.

No

The device is a linearity control, which is used to verify the reportable range of hematology analyzers, not to diagnose medical conditions in patients. It's a quality control material, not a diagnostic tool for patients.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is composed of "stabilized human blood components," indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the controls are "intended to verify the reportable range of COULTER hematology analyzers... in conjunction with specific COULTER reagents." This indicates the device is used to assess the performance of other diagnostic devices (hematology analyzers and reagents) in a laboratory setting.
  • Device Description: The description states that the controls are "stabilized human blood components from which repeated measurements are made to verify the reportable range of Beckman Coulter hematology systems." This confirms that the device is a reagent or material used in a laboratory test (hematology analysis) to evaluate the performance of the testing system.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed (K955334; COULTER® LIN-C® Linearity Control) is also a linearity control for hematology analyzers, which are typically classified as IVDs.

These points strongly indicate that the COULTER LIN-C linearity controls are used in vitro (outside the body) to perform diagnostic-related functions (verifying the performance of diagnostic equipment).

§ 864.8625 Hematology quality control mixture.

(a)
Identification. A hematology quality control mixture is a device used to ascertain the accuracy and precision of manual, semiautomated, and automated determinations of cell parameters such as white cell count (WBC), red cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Except when intended for use in blood components, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

Dear Ms. Nadler:

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.
