No
The document describes a chemical calibrator for a clinical chemistry system and contains no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a calibrator for a diagnostic test, not a device used to treat or prevent disease.

No
The device is a calibrator for a ferritin assay, not a diagnostic device itself. Its purpose is to ensure the accuracy of the ferritin measurement on a clinical chemistry system, which is then used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "lyophilized bovine serum-based product" and contains "human liver ferritin," indicating it is a physical reagent, not software.

Based on the provided information, the device described, the "Ferritin Calibrator," is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's used to "calibrate the ferritin (FERR) method on the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system." This system is used for clinical chemistry testing, which involves analyzing biological samples (like serum) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it's a "lyophilized bovine serum-based product" containing "human liver ferritin." These are components used in laboratory testing to establish a known reference point for measuring ferritin levels in patient samples.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device, "Abbott Laboratories*IMx® Ferritin Calibrator (K963493)," further supports its classification as an IVD. Predicate devices are typically other legally marketed IVDs that the new device is compared to for regulatory purposes.

While the document doesn't contain information about image processing, AI/ML, patient demographics, or performance studies, the core function and context of the device clearly align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic. It's a reagent used in a laboratory setting to ensure the accuracy of a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

(a)
Identification. A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also § 862.2 in this part.)(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
