More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a chemical reagent and its use with standard clinical chemistry analyzers for quantitative determination of lipase activity. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms beyond standard analytical calculations.

No
The device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent used to measure pancreatic lipase activity to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease, which is the definition of a therapeutic device.

Yes
The device is described as being for "quantitative determination of pancreatic lipase activity" and "Lipase measurements are used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the pancreas such as acute pancreatitis and obstruction of the pancreatic duct," which indicates its use in the diagnostic process.

No

The device is a reagent (chemical substance) intended for use with clinical chemistry analyzers, which are hardware devices. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of pancreatic lipase activity in serum or plasma samples." This involves testing biological samples outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's an "assay" designed for use with "clinical chemistry analyzers," which are instruments used for in vitro testing of biological fluids.
  • Purpose: The description mentions that "Lipase measurements are used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the pancreas." This indicates a medical purpose related to diagnosis, which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
  • Sample Type: It specifies the use of "serum or plasma samples," which are biological specimens.

All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.

Dear Ms. Hall:

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 regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ಗ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory action. In addicion, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or requlations.
