Intended Use
ALCO-SCREEN® is a semi-quantitative screening test used to estimate the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) using human saliva. The test strip estimates BAC at the 0.00%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.08% and 0.3% levels. Results are used in the diagnosis of alcohol use or intoxication. For in vitro diagnostic use.
Device Description
ALCO-SCREEN® is a visually read semi-quantitative test for the detection of alcohol in saliva. The test strip indicates the relative Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) at 5 different cut-off levels. The device consists of a box of 24 individually packaged single test strips each designed for single use and to be disposable, and instruction for use.

No
The device description and performance studies indicate a visually read, semi-quantitative chemical test, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

No.
The device is a semi-quantitative screening test used to estimate Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) for diagnostic purposes, not for treating any condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "Results are used in the diagnosis of alcohol use or intoxication. For in vitro diagnostic use."

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical test strips, which are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "For in vitro diagnostic use."
  • Nature of the Test: The device tests a human biological sample (saliva) to estimate a physiological parameter (Blood Alcohol Concentration) for diagnostic purposes (diagnosis of alcohol use or intoxication). This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Technological Comparison to Predicate Device:

Performance Testing:

Conclusion:

Alco-Screen® is similar to the predicate device. Both are OTC screening tests used to semi-quantitatively measure alcohol in human saliva. Additionally, both use chromogenic reaction methodology with alcohol oxidase as the enzyme, and are interpreted by visually comparing color change to a chart. Performance test results confirm that design differences do not pose new issues of safety or effectiveness.

The performance characteristics of Alco-Screen® were determined by conducting precision and reproducibility studies, analytical specificity studies, stability studies, and field use studies with an evidentiary device. Results demonstrate that Alco-Screen® performs as intended and meets all established specifications.

Based upon the design, technology, performance, and intended use, Alco-Screen is substantially equivalent to the predicate device currently marketed under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Dear Mr. Reynolds:

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 additional controls.
