Device Description

SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls, P/N M425, is a quality control panel consisting of 12 readyto-use, liquid controls, 6 of SPOTFIRE RSP Positive Control (Positive Control), P/N M42638, and 6 of SPOTFIRE RSP Negative Control (Negative Control), P/N M42738, in a single kit box, and a separate kit of 6 additional SPOTFIRE RSP Negative Controls (Negative Control), P/N M42738. The separate kit of SPOTFIRE RSP Negative Control allows and encourages the end user to check for environmental contamination by testing additional negative controls. The Positive Control contains non-infectious surrogate control material; a solution of synthetic RNA transcripts in buffer, stabilizers and preservatives. The RNA in the Positive Control carries RNA segments of all the respiratory and sore throat pathogens detected by the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory (R) Panel, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory (R) Panel Mini, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory/Sore Throat (R/ST) Panel, and BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory/Sore Throat (R/ST) Panel Mini assays. performed on the BIOFIRE System. SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls are specifically designed for and intended to be used solely with the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R Panel, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R Panel Mini, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel, and BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini assays on the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE System. The Negative Control contains buffer and preservatives with no RNA. Each liquid control of SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls is processed separately according to the SPOTFIRE Panel assay manufacturer's Instructions for Use for patient samples (nasopharyngeal swabs or throat swabs placed in transport media) obtained from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection or pharyngitis. Engineering drawings, schematics, etc. are not applicable to the device (device is a reagent).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "SPOTFIRE® RSP Pos & Neg Controls." This document focuses on the regulatory aspects of changing an existing, cleared device (K233611) rather than presenting a detailed study proving performance against specific acceptance criteria for a new device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to populate a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from this document, nor can I describe a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML-driven medical device, as the device in question is an assayed quality control material for clinical microbiology assays, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool.

The document states:

"Performance data presented in the predicate 510(k) submission (K233611) has all the required data to support the labeling change to the existing device to include the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini in the intended use for SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls, and the packaging change to combine Positive and Negative controls in a single kit box. No additional performance data are required as the SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls have not been changed, the assay consumables are identical for the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel used to collect original performance data and the SPOTFIRE R Panel Mini. In addition, the targets reported in the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini are a subset of the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel."

This explicitly states that no new performance study was conducted for this specific submission (K241289) because the changes were considered minor (labeling and packaging, and the new panel is a subset of an already cleared panel). The previous 510(k) (K233611) would contain the original performance data, but that information is not provided in this document.

As a result, I cannot provide details on:

A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not present, as no new performance study was conducted.
Sample size used for the test set and data provenance: Not present.
Number of experts used to establish ground truth and qualifications: Not applicable/present.
Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable/present.
Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not applicable, as this is a quality control material, not an AI diagnostic tool involving human readers.
Standalone (algorithm only) performance: Not applicable.
Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable/present in this document.
Sample size for the training set: Not applicable (not an AI/ML device, and no new training/testing).
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The document's purpose is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device based on minor changes, not to present novel performance data for a new device.

Dear Joan Gordon:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Substantial Equivalence

Maine Molecular Quality Controls, Inc. (MMQCI) proposes that changes made to the labeling and packaging for SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls do not impact substantial equivalence to the predicate device (K233611), SPOTFIRE® RSP Pos & Neg Controls. The manufacturing processes and components used to manufacture SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls are the same as those of the predicate device. No changes have been made to the predicate device, other than labeling and kit box. In addition, the targets detected by the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini are included in the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel.

Performance Data:

Performance data presented in the predicate 510(k) submission (K233611) has all the required data to support the labeling change to the existing device to include the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini in the intended use for SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls, and the packaging change to combine Positive and Negative controls in a single kit box. No additional performance data are required as the SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls have not been changed, the assay consumables are identical for the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel used to collect original performance data and the SPOTFIRE R Panel Mini. In addition, the targets reported in the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini are a subset of the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel.

Results and Conclusion:

Based upon the substantial equivalence characteristics listed in Table 5 and the original performance data (K233611), MMQCI has determined that the proposed change to the intended use (the addition of the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini assay), and the packaging to contain Positive and Negative controls in the same kit box, supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device K233611, SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls.
