More Information

No
The summary describes a quality control serum for laboratory testing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an assayed quality control serum for monitoring the precision of rheumatoid factor testing, not for treating a condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a quality control serum used to monitor the precision of laboratory testing methodologies for rheumatoid factor, not to diagnose a patient's condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is prepared from human serum with added constituents of human origin, indicating it is a physical control material, 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 precision of an individual laboratory's rheumatoid factor testing methodologies." This means it's used in vitro (outside the body) to evaluate the performance of tests that diagnose or monitor a medical condition (rheumatoid factor).
  • Device Description: It's a "quality control serum," which is a common type of IVD used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic tests.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (Liquichek Rheumatoid Factor Control K923578) further confirms its classification as a medical device, and specifically an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in regulatory submissions for new medical devices, including IVDs.

§ 866.5775 Rheumatoid factor immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A rheumatoid factor immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the rheumatoid factor (antibodies to immunoglobulins) in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. Measurement of rheumatoid factor may aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
