Intended Use
HSV-2 Antigen Control Slides are quality control materials used to confirm the accuracy of staining reagents used in cell culture confirmatory assays for the detection of HSV-2. Each individual slide contains two wells of fixed cells, one HSV-2 infected well and one uninfected well. The two wells of cells on the HSV-2 Antigen Control Slide are stained concomitantly with the cells inoculated with patient sample providing both a positive and negative control for the staining reagents and procedure. Lack of staining of the positive well indicates a failure of one or more components of the staining reagent.

The description focuses on traditional laboratory staining techniques and quality control materials, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: This device is described as a quality control material used to confirm the accuracy of staining reagents in diagnostic assays, not for direct treatment or therapy of a disease.

No

Explanation: The device is described as "quality control materials used to confirm the accuracy of staining reagents used in cell culture confirmatory assays." It provides positive and negative controls for staining procedures, indicating its role in verifying assay performance rather than directly diagnosing in a patient.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "slide" containing "fixed cells" and "wells," which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is used to "confirm the accuracy of staining reagents used in cell culture confirmatory assays for the detection of HSV-2." This directly relates to testing a sample (cell culture) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a disease (HSV-2).
  • Quality Control Material: The device is described as a "quality control material." Quality control materials for diagnostic tests are considered IVDs as they are essential for ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the diagnostic procedure.
  • Used in conjunction with a diagnostic assay: The device is used "concomitantly with the cells inoculated with patient sample," indicating its role in validating the results of a diagnostic test performed on a patient sample.

While the document doesn't provide details about patient age, anatomical site, or performance studies, the core function of the device as a quality control for an in vitro diagnostic test for HSV-2 clearly places it within the definition of an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

In order to confirm HSV-2 infections physicians frequently use tissue culture techniques. This involves obtaining patient samples, inoculation of these samples into established cell lines (Such as MRC-5 cells) and monitoring these cells for HSV-2 induced cytopathology. Frequently the cells inoculated with patient sample are then stained as an aid in the diagnosis of HSV-2 infections.

§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.

(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

Dear Mr. Ratcliffe:

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. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions 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. A 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 regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, 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 Regulations.
