No
The summary describes a chemical calibrator for a clinical chemistry system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML.

No.
The device is a calibrator for a clinical chemistry system, used to ensure the accuracy of the HCG method, not to directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition in a patient.

No

Explanation: The device is a calibrator for an HCG method, not a diagnostic device itself. Its purpose is to calibrate a diagnostic system, not to directly provide diagnostic information about a patient.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "lyophilized horse serum-based product" and a "kit consisting of ten vials," indicating it is a physical, chemical-based product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's used to "calibrate the HCG method for the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system with the heterogeneous immunoassay module." This indicates it's used in vitro (outside the body) to ensure the accuracy of a diagnostic test (HCG method).
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the calibrator, which is a "lyophilized horse serum-based product" containing "human unne chorionic gonadotropin." This is a reagent used in a laboratory setting for testing.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" which is also an "aca® plus Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Calibrator" strongly suggests that this type of product is regulated as an IVD. Predicate devices are used in the regulatory process for new IVDs.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the HCG Calibrator fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Comments on Substantial

Equivalence: Both the HCG Calibrator for the Dimension® RxL system and the aca® plus HCG Calibrator are horse serum based products containing human urine chorionic gonadotropin as the analyte source and are intended to be used as calibrators for human chorionic gonadotropin assays.

Conclusion: The HCG Calibrator for the Dimension® RxL system is substantially equivalent to the aca® plus HCG Calibrator based on the comparison summarized above.
