More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a quality control material for laboratory procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as an assayed quality control urine intended to monitor the precision of laboratory procedures, not to treat or diagnose patients.

No

This device is a quality control material intended to monitor the precision of laboratory procedures, not to diagnose a condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly states it is prepared from human urine with added constituents, indicating it is a physical control material, 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 laboratory procedures" for analytes in urine. This is a classic function of an IVD control material used in a laboratory setting.
  • Device Description: It's a prepared material (human urine with added constituents) intended for use in laboratory testing.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: It's intended for use in a "laboratory".
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K020817; Liquichek Urine Chemistry Control) strongly suggests that this device is also an IVD, as predicate devices are used in the regulatory process for new IVDs.

While it doesn't perform a diagnostic test itself, it is a critical component used in vitro (outside the body) within a laboratory setting to ensure the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic tests. This fits the definition of an IVD control material.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Stability studies have been performed to determine the open vial stability and shelf life for the Liquichek Microalbumin Control. Product claims are as follows:

  • Open vial: Once the control material is opened, all analytes will be stable for 30 days when stored tightly capped at 2-8 °C.
  • Shelf Life: Two years when stored at 2-8 °C.
    Real time studies will be ongoing to support the shelf life of this product. All supporting data is retained on file at Bio-Rad Laboratories.

§ 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.

Comparison of the new device with the Predicate Device 6.0

Liquichek Microalbumin Control claims substantial equivalence to the Liquichek Urine Chemistry Control currently in commercial distribution (K020817). The new Liquichek Microalbumin Control contains claims only for microalbumin and creatinine.

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).
