Intended Use

The VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen N plasma is an assayed normal control plasma intended for use in the quality control of quantitative coagulation assays, including Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen, in the normal range. The VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen N plasma may be used with mechanical and photo-optical coagulation instruments in conjunction with appropriate commercial reagents.

The VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen ABN plasma is an assayed abnormal control plasma intended for use in the quality control of quantitative coagulation assays, including Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), in the mid-level abnormal range. The VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen ABN plasma may be used with mechanical and photo-optical coagulation instruments in conjunction with appropriate commercial reagents.

Device Description

The VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen N is a pool of normal citrated human plasma collected from a minimum of 20 donors, buffered with 0.02 M HEPES buffer, dispensed and rapidly frozen.

The VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen ABN is a pool of normal citrated human plasma collected from a minimum of 20 donors, diluted to defined concentrations, buffered with 0.02 M HEPES buffer, dispensed and rapidly frozen.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes two devices, VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen N (Normal) and VisuCon-F Frozen Coag Screen ABN (Abnormal), and their substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not a study performing a traditional acceptance criteria evaluation with a test set of data. The document is a 510(k) summary for medical devices, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a performance study with a specific set of acceptance criteria and associated results.

Therefore, many of the requested sections (sample size for test set, data provenance, ground truth experts, adjudication, MRMC study, standalone performance, type of ground truth, training set sample size and ground truth) are not applicable to this type of submission.

However, I can extract the "acceptance criteria" in the context of what the device is intended to do and how it compares to its predicate, which serves as the "study" for its claims of substantial equivalence.

Here's the breakdown based on the provided text, focusing on the available information:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on Substantial Equivalence to Predicate)

The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly tied to the performance characteristics of the predicate device, as the submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The "reported device performance" is the device's ability to meet these very similar characteristics.

Study Details (As applicable to a 510(k) Substantial Equivalence Submission)

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Not Applicable. This document is a 510(k) summary demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not a performance study with a specific test set of cases or data. The device itself is a control plasma used in studies, not a diagnostic device being evaluated on patient samples. The device description mentions that the plasmas are collected from a minimum of 20 donors, but this is for the composition of the device, not a test set for performance evaluation.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not Applicable. There is no "test set" in the context of diagnostic performance evaluation requiring expert ground truth in this submission.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not Applicable. No test set requiring adjudication is described or performed.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • Not Applicable. This device is a quality control plasma for coagulation assays, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not Applicable. This is a quality control reagent, not an algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Not Applicable. The "ground truth" for these control plasmas is established by their formulation (e.g., normal vs. abnormal range, specific analytes) and performance against recognized reference methods during their manufacturing and validation. The 510(k) focuses on demonstrating that these formulations and expected performance are substantially equivalent to existing, legally marketed controls.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not Applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning or AI device.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not Applicable. As there is no training set.

Dear Ms. Foulon,

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 class II (Special Controls), 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). 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 advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

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 (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
