The DiaSpect Tm analyzer is only to be used with DiaSpect Tm Cuvettes.
Device Description
The DiaSpect Tm system consists of an analyzer and cuvettes. The DiaSpect Tm analyzer is a spectrophotometric instrument for the total hemoglobin concentration in unaltered human blood. The DiaSpect Tm Cuvette is injection-molded of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and contains a cavity of 10 uL volume. The cavity is empty.

No
The summary describes a spectrophotometric instrument and cuvettes for measuring hemoglobin. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is intended for in vitro quantitative measurement of total hemoglobin, which is a diagnostic function, not therapeutic.

Yes
The DiaSpect Tm system is intended for the in vitro quantitative measurement of total hemoglobin, which is a diagnostic measurement used to assess conditions like anemia or polycythemia.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of an analyzer (a spectrophotometric instrument) and cuvettes, which are hardware components.

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 DiaSpect Tm system is intended for the in vitro quantitative measurement of total hemoglobin in blood. "In vitro" means "in glass" or "outside the body," which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
  • Measurement of Analytes: The device measures total hemoglobin, which is a specific analyte in a biological sample (blood).
  • Use with Biological Samples: The device is designed to be used with human blood (capillary and venous whole blood).
  • Point-of-Care Setting: While used at the point of care, the testing itself is performed on a sample taken from the patient, not directly on the patient's body.

The description clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

Analytical Performance

  • Precision/Reproducibility:
    • 20-Day Precision: Performed in accordance with CLSI EP5-A2. Two precision studies were done at clinical sites. This study used three levels of external control material. 240 samples for each level, mean Hgb values of 7.99 g/dL, 12.58 g/dL, and 15.82 g/dL. Total CVs were 1.38%, 1.09%, and 1.41% respectively. Data met criteria of 0.95; Slope within 1.0 +/- 0.1.

Analytical Specificity: All potential interferants showed

Dear Mick Fenton:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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 Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR

1

803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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.

For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn).
