DuPont aca Cholesterol Reagent

No
The summary describes a reagent and system based on colorimetric methodology for quantitative determination of cholesterol. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The performance studies focus on correlation between the new reagent and a predicate device using standard statistical methods.

No.
The device is described as a reagent used for the quantitative determination of cholesterol, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one. It provides information for diagnosis and treatment, but does not directly treat a condition.

Yes

The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states that "Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipoprotein metabolism disorders." This indicates that the device provides information crucial for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reagent," which is a chemical substance used in a chemical reaction, indicating it is a physical component and not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "For quantitative determination of cholesterol or HDL cholesterol in plasma or serum." This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes biological samples (plasma or serum) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Device Description: The description mentions "colormetric methodology," which is a common technique used in laboratory diagnostic tests.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe the correlation between this reagent and a predicate device for measuring cholesterol and HDL cholesterol in specimens. This type of study is typical for demonstrating the performance of an IVD.

The information provided clearly aligns with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The correlation between the Paramax® Cholesterol Reagent and DuPont aca Cholesterol Reagent was demonstrated by assaying 48 specimens using the Paramax® and DuPont aca Systems for Cholesterol. For the HDLC, 100 specimens using Paramax® and DuPont aca Systems were used.

Summary of Performance Studies

The correlation between the Paramax® Cholesterol Reagent and DuPont aca Cholesterol Reagent was demonstrated by assaying 48 specimens using the Paramax® and DuPont aca Systems. The correlation coefficient for Cholesterol was 0.984, and the regression equation was Paramax® value =(1.10 * aca value) 7.1. For the HDLC, 100 specimens using Paramax® and DuPont aca Systems yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.9881 and a regression equation of Paramax® value = (1.012 * aca value) -2.27.

Key Metrics

Correlation coefficient for Cholesterol was 0.984. Correlation coefficient for HDLC was 0.9881.

510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information

K964660

The Paramax® Cholesterol Reagent is substantially equivalent to DuPont aca Cholesterol Reagent, which was cleared to. market on unknown. The proposed and the predicate device are intended for use in the quantitative determination of Cholesterol and HDL Cholesterol .

The Paramax® Cholesterol Reagent and DuPont aca Cholesterol Reagent are based on colormetic methodology.

The technological characteristics of the predicate device are similar to those previously described for the proposed device.

The correlation between the Paramax® Cholesterol Reagent and DuPont aca Cholesterol Reagent was demonstrated by assaying 48 specimens using the Paramax® and DuPont aca Systems. The correlation coefficient for Cholesterol was 0.984, and the regression equation was Paramax® value =(1.10 * aca value) 7.1. For the HDLC, 100 specimens using Paramax® and DuPont aca Systems yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.9881 and a regression equation of Paramax® value = (1.012 * aca value) The data indicates that the results obtained by both -2.27. reagents are substantially equivalent.

Dear Ms. Waxburg:

We have reviewed your Section 510 (k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions.
