The summary describes a laboratory quality control material, not a device that processes data or images using AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections explicitly state "Not Found".

No
This device is a quality control material for laboratory procedures, not a device used to treat or diagnose patients.

No.
This device is a quality control material used for laboratory procedures that quantitate HbA1c, not a diagnostic device itself. Its purpose is to ensure the accuracy of the diagnostic tests.

No

The device description clearly states it is a frozen liquid control material supplied in bottles, which is a physical product, not software.

Yes, based on the provided information, the Quantimetrix Dropper Alc Diabetes Control is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "quality control of laboratory procedures used to quantitate HbA1c." This indicates it's used in vitro (outside the body) to assess the performance of a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a product used in a laboratory setting ("prepared in a whole blood matrix") and designed to be used with laboratory procedures.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (MAS Diabetes Control) which is also a control material for diabetes testing further supports its classification as an IVD. Control materials are a common type of IVD used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic tests.

Therefore, all the key indicators point to this device being 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.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Quantimetrix Dropper Alc Diabetes Control is supplied as a frozen liquid in two levels and consists of a human whole blood matrix containing preservatives to which reagent grade chemicals were added to chemically react with the hemoglobin to achieve the two levels.

The Quantimetrix controls are substantially equivalent to other such controls in general use, such as the MAS Diabetes Control, sold by Microgenics Corporation Inc., which is supplied liquid in two levels as a whole blood matrix with pure chemicals added by the manufacturer.

Assayed values are determined from in-house data.
