Device Description
STREPTOLEX-STAT™ is substantially equivalent to several commercially available products utilizing similar methodology for the identification of streptococcal groups A, B, C, F and G.
More Information

No
The description focuses on traditional laboratory methods and comparisons to existing, non-AI/ML devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or training/test sets indicative of AI/ML development.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for identifying streptococcal groups and does not mention treating or preventing diseases.

Yes

Explanation: The device description states its purpose is "for the identification of streptococcal groups A, B, C, F and G." This indicates that the device is used to detect the presence of specific streptococcal bacteria, which is a diagnostic function. The "Key Metrics" section further provides sensitivity for identifying these groups, reinforcing its diagnostic role.

No

The device description and performance studies indicate a laboratory test kit for identifying streptococcal groups, which typically involves reagents and physical components, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Device Description: It describes a product used for the "identification of streptococcal groups A, B, C, F and G." This is a diagnostic test performed outside of the body (in vitro) on biological samples to identify the presence of specific bacteria.
  • Performance Studies: The description of performance studies comparing it to other "grouping kits" and reporting metrics like sensitivity and overall agreement are typical for IVD devices.
  • Predicate and Reference Devices: The listing of predicate and reference devices, which are also described as "grouping kits," further confirms its nature as an IVD.

The lack of an explicit "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section is unusual, but the other information strongly indicates its function as an in vitro diagnostic test.

Summary of Performance Studies

The performance of the STREPTOLEX-STAT™ was compared to three commercially available, substantially equivalent grouping kits listed above. Studies were done at three test sites. The data compiled from one clinical laboratory in the US, one in Canada and one in the UK.

Strep Group/No. TestedUnipath (Oxoid) Acid Extraction Sensitivity
Group A111/111 (100%)
Group B117/120 (98%)
Group C80/83 (96%)
Group F59/66 (89%)
Group G90/90 (100%)
Total457/470 (97%)

At one site, upon initial testing, 3 negative reactions were observed for Group B. Discrepancies were related to insufficient number of colonies used. Discrepancies were resolved upon retest.
At one site, upon initial testing, 3 negative reactions were observed for Group C. Discrepancies were related to insufficient number of colonies used. Discrepancies were resolved upon retest.
At one site, upon initial testing, 7 negative reactions were observed for Group F. Discrepancies were related to insufficient number of colonies used. 5 of the 7 discrepancies were resolved upon retest.
Data comparing the STREPTOLEX-STAT™ Group Reagent with other commercially available grouping kits demonstrated an overall agreement of 97%.

§ 866.3740

Streptococcus spp. serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Streptococcus spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera (excluding streptococcal exoenzyme reagents made from enzymes secreted by streptococci) used in serological tests to identifyStreptococcus spp. from cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genusStreptococcus and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Pathogenic streptococci are associated with infections, such as sore throat, impetigo (an infection characterized by small pustules on the skin), urinary tract infections, rheumatic fever, and kidney disease.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.
