AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdparty
Intended Use
Cell cultures to be used for specific virus isolation and identification. The subject of this 510(k) Notification, the cell line, HEp-2, is susceptible to and can be used in the isolation and confirmation of the following viruses from clinical samples: Adenovirus, HSV, Coxsackie B, Measles, Parainfluenza, Poliovirus, RSV
Device Description
The subject device provides HEp-2 cells as nearly confluent monolayers ready for use upon receipt after a short pre-incubation period.
More Information

No
The summary describes a cell culture product for virus isolation and identification, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
Explanation: This device is for virus isolation and identification in cell cultures, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The device, a cell line, is used for the "isolation and confirmation of ... viruses from clinical samples," which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it provides "HEp-2 cells as nearly confluent monolayers," which are biological materials and not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the cell cultures are "to be used for specific virus isolation and identification" from "clinical samples." This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic product, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Description: The device provides HEp-2 cells as a tool for performing these diagnostic tests.
  • Performance Studies: The summary of performance studies mentions "non-clinical tests consist of those used to characterize the product such as... virus susceptibility of specific viruses." This further supports its use in a diagnostic context.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device is also described as "cell cultures," which are commonly used in IVD applications for viral isolation.

The information provided strongly indicates that this device is intended for use in a laboratory setting to diagnose viral infections by isolating and identifying viruses from patient samples, which is the core function of an IVD.
