Intended Use

Liquichek Cardiac Markers Control is intended for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of an individual laboratory's specific cardiac marker procedures.

Device Description

Liquichek Cardiac Markers Control is prepared from human serum with added constituents of human and non-human origin. The control is provided in liquid form for convenience.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Liquichek Cardiac Markers Control." It is a quality control material used to monitor the precision of laboratory cardiac marker procedures. The document aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device, the "Liquichek CK/LD Isoenzyme Control."

Based on the provided text, there is no information available regarding acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or a study demonstrating that the device meets specific acceptance criteria. This document describes a quality control material, not a diagnostic or therapeutic device whose performance is typically evaluated against clinical endpoints or diagnostic accuracy metrics.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on:

  • Device Identification and Classification: Naming the device, its classification, and intended use.
  • Substantial Equivalence Claim: Comparing its technological characteristics (intended use, form, matrix, storage, open vial claim) to a predicate device.
  • Composition: Stating it's prepared from human serum with human and non-human constituents.

The concept of "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" as typically applied to diagnostic algorithms or medical devices that generate results (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) is not directly applicable or discussed in this 510(k) summary for a quality control material.

§ 862.1660 Quality control material (assayed and unassayed).

(a)
Identification. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except when intended for use in donor screening tests, quality control materials (assayed and unassayed) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
