Intended Use
Sigma Diagnostics CX 3 Calibration Standard Level 1 is used to calibrate the Beckman SYNCHRON CX 3 System. This reagent is used for the quantitative determination of BUN/urea, calcium, and total carbon dioxide in serum or plasma; of creatinine, potassium, and sodium in serum, plasma, or urine; and of chloride and glucose in serum, plasma, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid. Calibration Standard Level 1 should be used with CX 3 Calibration Standard Level 2.
Device Description
CX 3 Calibration Standard Level 1 contains the following analytes and other non-reactive components: | ANALYTE | CONVENTIONAL UNITS | SI UNITS | |------------------------|--------------------|--------------| | Calcium | 10.0 mg/dL | 2.495 mmol/L | | Chloride | 109 mmol/L | 109 mmol/L | | Creatinine | 5.0 mg/dL | 442 umol/L | | Glucose | 150 mg/dL | 8.34 mmol/L | | Potassium | 4.0 mmol/L | 4.0 mmol/L | | Sodium | 150 mmol/L | 150 mmol/L | | Urea | 107 mg/dL | 17.8 mmol/L | | BUN (Urea<br>Nitrogen) | 50 mg/dL | 17.8 mmol/L |

No
The device is a calibration standard, a chemical reagent used to calibrate a laboratory instrument. There is no indication of software or algorithms, let alone AI/ML.

No
This device is a calibration standard used to calibrate a diagnostic system, not to provide therapy or treatment.

No

This device is a calibration standard used to calibrate another system (Beckman SYNCHRON CX 3 System), which then performs the diagnostic measurements. The calibration standard itself does not directly perform diagnosis; it ensures the accuracy of the diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Calibration Standard" containing various analytes, which are chemical substances used for calibration. This indicates a physical reagent, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used to "calibrate the Beckman SYNCHRON CX 3 System" for the "quantitative determination of BUN/urea, calcium, and total carbon dioxide in serum or plasma; of creatinine, potassium, and sodium in serum, plasma, or urine; and of chloride and glucose in serum, plasma, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid." These are all measurements performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device contains specific analytes at known concentrations, which are typical components of calibration standards used in in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The summary of performance studies mentions demonstrating "substantial equivalency" to a predicate device, which is a common regulatory pathway for IVDs.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (Beckman Calibration Standard 1) further confirms its classification as a medical device, and given its function, specifically an IVD.

The core function of a calibration standard in this context is to ensure the accuracy of an analytical instrument (the Beckman SYNCHRON CX 3 System) that is used for in vitro diagnostic testing. Therefore, the calibration standard itself is considered an IVD accessory or component.
