More Information

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

No.
The device is an assayed urine quality control, used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: This device is a quality control material intended to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures, not to diagnose a patient's condition.

No

The device is a liquid quality control material, which is a physical substance, not software.

Yes, 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 testing procedures for the analytes listed in the package insert." This is a classic function of an in vitro diagnostic device used in a laboratory setting.
  • Device Description: The description details a control material prepared from human urine with added biochemicals, chemicals, drugs/preservatives, and stabilizers. This material is used in liquid form for testing.
  • Analytes: The list of analytes (Amylase, Calcium, Chloride, etc.) are substances commonly measured in urine for diagnostic purposes.
  • Intended User/Care Setting: The intended user is specified as "laboratory testing procedures," which aligns with the use of IVDs.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies related to value assignment and stability, which are typical evaluations for IVD devices.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (K020817; Liquichek TM Urine Chemistry Control) is a strong indicator that this device is being compared to an existing IVD for regulatory purposes.

Based on the provided information, the Multichem U control fits the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device. It is a reagent or material intended for use in a laboratory to examine specimens derived from the human body (urine in this case) to provide information for diagnostic purposes (by monitoring the precision of the tests).

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

Value assignment testing was performed utilizing internal procedures and protocols to determine typical values that would be seen for the product across Abbott ARCHITECT c8000 clinical chemistry systems with the associated reagent test systems: For the Multichem U control, 2 reagent lots and 2 calibrator lots were used to incorporate reagent and calibrator variation where available. 2 replicates from 16 runs were performed to give a total of 32 data points. Distinct runs, with minimum gaps of 2 hours were performed and a minimum of 8 calibration events were performed to incorporate variation from calibration and environmental sources. Value assignment ranges were established at the pre-determined criteria of 20% around the grand mean to most analytes; however, a 10% range is applied to the Potassium, Sodium and Chloride.

Stability studies have been performed to determine the open vial stability and shelf-life for this control. For open vial stability, Technopath utilized internal procedures and two protocols methods (Classical [Forward] method and Isochronous - Staggered Start [Backwards / Backended] method) from CLSI EP25A entitled "Evaluation of Stability of In Vitro Diagnostic Reagents." To minimize variation, where possible, one lot of reagent, calibrator and reference/control was used for the entire study, per analyte. Testing was performed over multiple days on 1 Abbott ARCHITECT c8000 clinical chemistry system with the associated reagent test systems. All Multichem U analytes from open vial and freshly thawed vial samples were tested in replicates of 3 at each time points were tested and the point of failure was determined by the maximum allowable drift (degradation), which was determined to be analyte specific.

Accelerated testing was carried out utilizing CLSI EP25A in order to support a shelf-life storage claim of 24 months at 2° to 8°C. The accelerated testing utilized three lots of controls. All data was generated using the Abbott ARCHITECT c8000 clinical chemistry system with the associated reagent test systems. For the Multichem U control, the Drift Limit was determined to be 10%. These results concluded that the Multichem U Controls product is predicted to be stable for in excess of 24 months when stored at 2° - 8° C. The real-time testing is not available at this time, but is on-going and will be performed on a minimum of 3 lots.

§ 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.
