Intended Use

Clinical laboratories, performing quantitative or semi-quantitative tests to determine alpha fetoprotein (AFP) in patient specimen and desiring to use the quality control material that is not provided with the kit used for such measurement, may use Qualitrol AFP Control Set as an alternative. Compattibility among the test reagents and Qualitrol AFP Control Set needs to be established prior to such a use.

Device Description

AI/ML Overview

This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a quality control material, the "Qualitrol, Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Control Set."

Such documents do not typically include details about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, or ground truth establishment in the way requested for AI/machine learning devices. This 510(k) is for an in-vitro diagnostic quality control product, not a device that directly analyzes patient data to provide a diagnosis or prediction.

Therefore, the requested information (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set details) cannot be extracted from this document.

The document primarily focuses on:

  • Confirming substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
  • Listing regulatory information (regulation number, product code, regulatory class).
  • Providing general FDA compliance requirements for the manufacturer.
  • Stating the intended use of the device.

To answer your questions for this type of product, one would need to consult the original 510(k) submission summary or technical file, which would detail the analytical performance studies demonstrating the control material's stability, homogeneity, and assigned values, rather than clinical performance against a disease state.

Trade/Device Name: Qualitrol, Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Control Set Regulation Number: 21 CFR 862.1660 Regulation Name: Quality control materials (assayed and unassayed) Regulatory Class: I Product Code: JJY Dated: July 26, 1996 Received: July 29, 1996

Dear Mr. Cone:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of August 15, 1996.

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 (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other

§ 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.
