Intended Use
The Cepheid Xpert®Respiratory Control Panel is intended for use as an external assayed positive and negative quality control to monitor the performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures for the qualitative detection of Influenza A (H1N1) virus, Influenza A (H3N2) virus, Influenza B virus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus A performed with the Cepheid Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV assay on the GeneXpert® Instrument System. The controls comprise cultured and inactivated Influenza A (H1N1) virus, Influenza A (H3N2) virus, Influenza B virus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus A as the positive control and Coxsackie virus B1 as the negative control. The Cepheid Xpert®Respiratory Control Panel is not intended to replace manufacturer controls provided with the device.
Device Description
The Cepheid Xpert® Respiratory Control Panel is used to monitor RNA extraction, amplification of the Cepheid Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV assay. The Cepheid Xpert® Respiratory Control Panel contains cultured viruses inactivated by chemical or radiological treatments. Each Cepheid Xpert® Respiratory Control Panel consists of 6 individually packaged positive control swabs and 6 individually wrapped negative control swabs. Each positive control swab contains Influenza A (H1N1) virus, Influenza A (H3N2) virus, Influenza B virus and Respiratory syncytial virus A. Each negative control swab contains Coxsackie B1 virus. Each swab is individually wrapped with a desiccant in a heat-sealed foil pouch.

No
The document describes a quality control material for a nucleic acid test and does not mention any AI or ML components in its description, intended use, or performance evaluation.

No.
This device is an external quality control for in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing, not a therapeutic device. It is used to monitor the performance of an assay, not to treat or diagnose patients directly.

No

Explanation: This device is explicitly described as a "quality control" for in vitro diagnostic tests, not a diagnostic device itself. Its purpose is to monitor the performance of other laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures, not to provide a diagnosis to a patient.

No

The device is described as a "quality control material" comprising "cultured and inactivated viruses" on "swabs" packaged in "foil pouches". This clearly indicates a physical product, 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 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 derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. While this specific device is a control, it's used in conjunction with an IVD assay (the Cepheid Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV assay) to ensure the reliability of the results obtained from patient samples.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the controls (cultured and inactivated viruses) and how they are used to "monitor RNA extraction, amplification" of the assay. This further reinforces its role in the in vitro diagnostic process.
  • Performance Studies: The inclusion of performance studies evaluating the agreement of the positive and negative controls demonstrates that this device is subject to the same kind of performance evaluation as other IVD components.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K182472; Cepheid Xpert® GBS LB Control Panel) which is also a control panel, indicates that this type of device is classified and regulated as an IVD.

In summary, while the Cepheid Xpert® Respiratory Control Panel is not the primary diagnostic assay itself, it is a crucial component used in vitro within a laboratory setting to ensure the accuracy and reliability of an IVD assay. Therefore, it falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
