No
The document describes a quality control material for urinalysis and does not mention any AI or ML components in its description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is a quality control material used to monitor the precision of urinalysis test procedures, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a quality control material used to monitor the precision of urinalysis test procedures, not to diagnose a condition or disease in a patient.

No

The device description clearly states it is a liquid control material prepared from human urine and other biological/chemical components, indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "monitoring the precision of urinalysis test procedures for the analytes listed in the package insert." This is a classic function of an IVD control material, used to verify the performance of diagnostic tests performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the control material, which is designed to mimic human urine and contains various components relevant to urinalysis testing.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K031231; Liquichek™ Urinalysis Control) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used to demonstrate substantial equivalence for regulatory purposes within the IVD framework.

While the document doesn't contain information about image processing, AI/ML, or patient details, the core function and description align with the definition of an IVD.

§ 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.

6.0 Comparison of the new device with the Predicate Device

The new Liquichek Urinalysis Control claims substantial equivalence to the Liquichek Urinalysis Control currently in commercial distribution (K031231).

Liquichek Urinalysis Control claims substantial equivalence to the Liquichek Urinalysis Control currently in commercial distribution (K031231). Both of these controls are manufactured with exactly the same formulation. The only difference between the predicate device and the new Liquichek Urinalysis Control is that new product has claims for color and clarity and the predicate device does not.

Dear Ms. Parsons:

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).

3

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.

If you desire specific information about the application of labeling requirements to your device, or questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (240) 276-0490. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
