No
The summary describes a calibration and linearity test kit for D-Dimer assays, which is a quality control material. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on the analytical performance of the test kit itself.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) quality control material used for calibration verification and linearity testing, not for directly treating a patient or restoring their health.
No
This device is described as an "assayed quality control material" and a "Calibration Verification / Linearity Test Kit." Its purpose is to verify the performance and linearity of other diagnostic assays by providing known D-Dimer levels, not to directly diagnose D-Dimer levels in a patient sample. It helps ensure the accuracy of diagnostic devices.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Test Kit" containing "liquid levels" in a "human plasma base matrix," indicating it is a physical in vitro diagnostic product, not software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the product is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use".
- Device Description: The device is a "quality control material" used for "quantitative determination of linearity, calibration verification and verification of reportable range" for the analyte D-Dimer. These are all activities performed in a clinical laboratory setting to ensure the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic tests.
- Care Setting: The intended user is "laboratory personnel" in a "clinical laboratory setting".
- Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the device with a "reagent and quality controls" on an "instrument system", which are typical components of an in vitro diagnostic testing workflow.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device is also a "Linearity Set", indicating a similar function within the IVD space.
All of these points align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Value Assignment
VALIDATE® D-Dimer Calibration Verification / Linearity Test Kits are manufactured such that an equal relationship exists among Levels 1 through 5; Level 1 being the lowest concentration and Level 5 being the highest. Levels 1 and 5 are prepared independently by the addition of D-Dimer to a human plasma base matrix. Levels 1 through 5 must meet specified D-Dimer target ranges at all stages of testing.
Specific recovery targets for Levels 1 through 5 are determined by the upper and lower detection limits for D-Dimer. Intermediate Levels 2, 3, and 4 are subsequently prepared from Levels 1 and 5 by equal part dilutions following EP6-A guidelines. Typical value ranges are provided in the package insert.
Typical recovery values, presented in Table 1, were established for Level 1 and Level 5 by testing 30 replicates, with values for Mid-Levels 2, 3, and 4 calculated based on an equal distance (delta) between levels.
The product is designed for laboratories to satisfy the requirements for calibration verification and verification of the systems reportable range as specified in the current CLIA regulations section 493.1255.

A linear relationship exists between each level in a kit. The quantitative determination of linearity, calibration verification, and verification of reportable range relies on the known relationship between each of the levels of the product, in this case equal deltas, as outlined in the CLSI EP6-A referenced standard.
This kit is not intended for use as a routine calibration material.
VALIDATE® D-Dimer calibration verification / linearity test kit is available in a product configuration formulated to validate and maximize reportable ranges of the test system, while minimizing the need for manual dilutions.
Precision/Reproducibility
Precision was evaluated on the Instrument Laboratory (IL) TOP® instrument system with the VALIDATE® D-Dimer product following the product package insert instructions. Three lots of VALIDATE® D-Dimer product, were tested with one lot of IL system HemosIL D-Dimer reagent and quality controls on the TOP® instrument system over 20 days, 2 runs per day, 2 replicates per run for Level 1 through Level 5 with a minimum of two operators to obtain a total of eighty (80) replicates per kit Level. All levels of the VALIDATE® D-Dimer kit met the acceptance criteria of ≤ 10% CV on the IL TOP® instrument system.
Reproducibility was evaluated on the Instrument Laboratory (IL) TOP® instrument system with the VALIDATE® D-Dimer kit containing 5 levels following the product package insert instructions. One lot of VALIDATE® D-Dimer Calibration / Linearity Test Kit was tested with one lot of IL HemosIL D-Dimer reagent and quality controls on three instruments, multi-site, over 5 days, with 1 run per day of Level 1-5, 5 replicates per run and a minimum of three operators to obtain seventy-five (75) replicates per kit level. All levels of the VALIDATE® D-Dimer kit met the acceptance criteria of ≤ 10% CV on the IL TOP® instrument system.
Traceability
This product is traceable to a reference standard based on the automated instrument platform it is used on. The traceability of our product will be established per the respective end user automated instrument calibrator traceability reference statement.
Stability
Stability testing was performed using the Instrumentation Laboratory TOP® instrument system. The study testing time points included date of manufacture (DOM), followed by testing at specific intervals post manufacture. Acceptance criteria are defined as 90 to 110% of DOM value.

A freeze-thaw vial stability assessment was also conducted with three lots in support of the product package insert four (4) freeze-thaw open vial events claim. All product levels tested within the 90 to 110% of control acceptance criteria limits after 6 freeze-thaw vial events.
Shelf Life Claim: Stability of the VALIDATE® D-Dimer Calibration / Linearity Test Kit was set at 9 months based on available real-time stability studies with three lots. Real time stability studies are ongoing to support an extended stability claim. The recommended storage temperature is -10 to -25°C. All supporting data is retained on file at Maine Standards Company LLC.
Linearity:
Linearity testing was carried out with the new device VALIDATE® D-Dimer Calibration Verification / Linearity Test Kits Instrumentation Laboratory TOP® instrument system. Product linearity performance was demonstrated for the automated system. All supporting data is retained on file at Maine Standards Company LLC.
G. Conclusion:
Based upon the purpose of the device, the descriptions and labeling of the predicate device, the VALIDATE® D-Dimer Calibration Verification / Linearity Test Kit behaves substantially equivalent to the predicate for the quantitative determination of linearity, calibration verification and verification of reportable range for the following analyte: D-Dimer. The product is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, K100716, Audit MicroCV D-Dimer Linearity Set.
