No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the device is a quality control and calibration verification material for a specific system, not a system that performs analysis or interpretation using AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.
No
The device is described as assayed quality control and calibration verification materials for use with a diagnostic system. It monitors the performance of test procedures and verifies the reportable range of tests, which are functions related to diagnostic accuracy, not therapeutic treatment.
No
The provided text describes quality control and calibration verification materials for a system, not a diagnostic device itself. These materials are used for monitoring the performance of test procedures, not for direct diagnosis of diseases or conditions.
No
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that the device is comprised of "Assayed Quality Control materials and Assayed Calibration Verification materials," which are physical substances, not software.
Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that these materials are "quality control materials for use with the Alere Cholestech LDX® system" and are designed for "monitoring the performance of test procedures" and "verifying the reportable range of tests" on that system. This directly aligns with the definition of IVD products, which are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. While these specific materials aren't directly diagnosing a patient, they are essential components for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the diagnostic tests performed by the Alere Cholestech LDX® system.
- Device Description: The description further clarifies that these are "Assayed Quality Control materials and Assayed Calibration Verification materials for use with the Alere Cholestech LDX® system." This reinforces their role in supporting the diagnostic process.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K913687 CHEM-CHEX) which is also a quality control material for diagnostic testing, further indicates that this device falls within the IVD category.
In summary, these materials are designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to ensure the proper functioning and accuracy of a diagnostic system (the Alere Cholestech LDX® system), which is a core characteristic of IVD products.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Brehm:
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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
