The device is a quality control panel for an in vitro diagnostic test and does not perform any analysis or interpretation of data using AI/ML.
No
The device is described as "an external positive and negative assayed quality control to monitor performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures," and "is not intended to replace manufacturer controls provided with the test system," which indicates it is used for quality control of diagnostic tests and not for treating patients.
No
This device is a quality control panel intended to monitor the performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures. It is not used to diagnose patients directly but rather to ensure the diagnostic assays are working correctly.
No
The device is a quality control panel consisting of physical materials (synthetic RNA transcripts in buffers, stabilizers, and preservatives) intended for use with an in vitro diagnostic test system. It is not a software-only device.
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 device is "intended for use as an external positive and negative assayed quality control to monitor performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures". This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Description: The description details the composition of the control panel and how it is processed "according to FilmArray® RP2 and RP2plus assays manufacturer's Instructions for Use for patient samples". This further confirms its role in supporting in vitro diagnostic testing.
- Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies conducted to evaluate the control panel's effectiveness in monitoring the accuracy of the FilmArray® RP2 and RP2plus assays. This is typical for IVD devices and their associated quality controls.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K161573) indicates that this device is being compared to a previously cleared or approved medical device, which is a common process for IVD submissions to regulatory bodies like the FDA.
While the device itself is a quality control and not the primary diagnostic test, it is specifically designed and intended to be used with an in vitro diagnostic test (the FilmArray® RP2 and RP2plus assays) to ensure the accuracy and reliability of those tests. Therefore, it falls under the umbrella of IVD devices.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
All Test Results:
Three lots of FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Control Panel, FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive (Positive Control), P/N M31721, and FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Negative Control), P/N M31621, were manufactured by MMQCI. Internal and external studies were performed by testing the 3 lots with the FilmArray® RP2plus assay on the FilmArray System.
The internal study was performed by testing the 3 lots at MMQCI (Saco, Maine) over 20 days with 4 pouch lots by four operators. An external study was performed to assess performance of the FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Control Panel in a clinical setting. The external performance study tested the 3 lots of FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Control Panel at 3 CLIA-certified clinical sites over a period of 10 days using 3 FilmArray pouch lots, incorporating multiple operators.
All FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive control respiratory pathogen analytes were correctly detected in the internal and external study (Correct Positive Control Result). All but 1 FilmArray Negative Control gave Correct Negative Control Results of no respiratory pathogens detected for both studies. The incorrect Negative Control result was a false positive HRV/ EV seen when Negative Control was tested at MMQCI.
Total Tests: 301. Correct Positive Control Result: 150 (100%). Correct Negative Control Result: 150 (99.4%).
External Site Testing:
A total of 180 FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Control Panel samples were tested between July 2017 and August 2017 at 3 clinical sites. Three lots of Positive Control (C11MAY17, G12JUN17, B21JUN17) and three lots of Negative Control (B11MAY17, F12JUN17, A21JUN17) were tested on three different FilmArray RP2 pouch lots (testing was performed using an IUO pouch module that reported all analyte results; this is equivalent to the RP2plus product) across the 3 sites, incorporating multiple operators. Three Positive Controls and three Negative Controls were run per day/per site and testing spanned a period of 10 days. Not all testing days were consecutive. All 180 controls tested were successful on the first attempt (180/180, 100.0%).
All FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive controls and all FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Negative controls gave correct results. Controls performed robustly at all 3 clinical sites using multiple pouch lots and incorporating multiple operators.
All Sites: Total Tests 180, Correct Positive Control Result 90 (100%), Correct Negative Control Result 90 (100%).
Within-run Testing (Reproducibility):
Within-run reproducibility was demonstrated by 1 operator testing 1 lot each of FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive and FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Negative with 1 lot of FilmArray RP2 pouches on the FilmArray 2.0, each within one day at MMQCI. Conclusion: All results were correct and reproducible.
FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive: 6/6 Correct Results.
FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Negative: 6/6 Correct Results.
Precision Testing:
Precision was demonstrated by testing 3 lots of FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive control and 3 lots of FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Negative control at MMQCI over 20 days with 4 pouch lots by 4 operators using two FilmArray® 2.0 instruments. All FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive control analytes were correctly detected. No Invalid results were seen. All FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Negative results were correct except for one false positive HRV/ EV.
Conclusion: FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Control Panel is a reproducible control set across control lots and reagent lots.

Internal and external studies were performed by testing the 3 lots with the FilmArray® RP2plus assay on the FilmArray System.
The internal study was performed by testing the 3 lots at MMQCI (Saco, Maine) over 20 days with 4 pouch lots by four operators. An external study was performed to assess performance of the FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Control Panel in a clinical setting. The external performance study tested the 3 lots of FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Control Panel at 3 CLIA-certified clinical sites over a period of 10 days using 3 FilmArray pouch lots, incorporating multiple operators.
All FilmArray RP2/RP2plus Positive control respiratory pathogen analytes were correctly detected in the internal and external study (Correct Positive Control Result). All but 1 FilmArray Negative Control gave Correct Negative Control Results of no respiratory pathogens detected for both studies. The incorrect Negative Control result was a false positive HRV/ EV seen when Negative Control was tested at MMQCI.
