No
The device is a calibrator for clinical chemistry systems and the description focuses on its chemical composition and intended use for quantitative calibration, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
This device is a calibrator for in vitro diagnostic use, intended to provide quantitative calibration for clinical chemistry systems. It is not used for direct treatment or diagnosis of a patient.

No
The device is described as a "Calibrator" intended for "quantitative calibration of automated, semi-automated, or manual clinical chemistry systems" used for the measurement of specific substances (ammonia, ethanol, lactate). It is used to calibrate diagnostic devices, not to perform diagnosis itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "aqueous matrix containing ammonia, ethanol, and lactate," which is a physical substance, not software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states the device is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use for the quantitative calibration of automated, semi-automated, or manual clinical chemistry systems used for the measurement of ammonia, ethanol, and lactate." This directly aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is a medical device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies that the calibrators are used for the "quantitative determination of ammonia (AMM), ethanol (ALC) and lactate (LAC)" on clinical chemistry systems. This reinforces its role in diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe comparing the calibrator to predicate devices using patient samples and analyzing quantitative analytical recovery. This is typical for validating an IVD used in clinical settings.

The document clearly indicates that this device is used outside of the body (in vitro) to calibrate instruments that measure substances in human specimens for diagnostic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The equivalence for this product was carried out by comparing quantitative analytical recovery of patient samples using the NCCLS EP9 Protocol: Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples; Approved Guideline. The DOCUMENT Ammonia, Ethanol, Lactate Calibrator was compared to the NERL 100µmol/L Ammonia Standard using BMC Ammonia reagents on a Hitachi 717 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer, the Beckman Alcohol Kit Calibrator with Beckman Reagents on a Beckman Synchron CX5 System, and the Beckman CX Multi Calibrator using Beckman Lactate reagent on a Beckman Synchron CX5 System. The results show that the DOCUMENT Ammonia, Ethanol, Lactate Calibrator behaves in a similar manner compared to the predicate devices and is suitable for use as a calibrator for the listed analytes on those systems tested.
