No
The document describes a calibrator for clinical chemistry analyzers, which is a reagent used for calibration, not a device that processes data or makes decisions using AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
This device is a calibrator for in vitro diagnostic tests, used to ensure the accuracy of measurements of specific analytes (ASO, CRP, RF) in patient samples, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease.

No

This device is a calibrator, used to ensure the accuracy of diagnostic tests for ASO, CRP, and RF. It does not directly diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "frozen liquid human serum matrix," indicating it is a physical reagent, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "calibration of Antistreptolysin-O (ASO-), C-reactive protein (CRP), and Rheumatoid factor (RF) chemistries" on clinical chemistry analyzers. Calibration materials used in conjunction with diagnostic tests to ensure accurate results are considered IVDs.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "frozen liquid human serum matrix" used for calibration with clinical chemistry analyzers. This aligns with the nature of materials used in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
  • Performance Studies: The summary of performance studies discusses its use in calibration and its equivalence to a predicate device (Beckman CAL 5 Plus), which is also likely an IVD calibrator.

The device is a calibrator, which is a type of reagent used in IVD testing to ensure the accuracy of the diagnostic results. Therefore, it falls under the definition of an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

The data in the Premarket Notification on safety and effectiveness supports a finding of substantial equivalence of the SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus to the Beckman CAL 5 Plus and is stable for ASO, CRP, and RF. The value assignment process for each analyte is correlated to a known standard via the anchor method. The SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus value assignment and verification processes yield acceptable calibrator assigned values for calibration on the SYNCHRON LX System and SYNCHRON CX Systems.

Beckman Instruments, Inc., Section 510(k) Notification SYNCHRON® Systems CAL 5 Plus Summary of Safety & Effectiveness

5.0 Description:

This SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus is designed for use with clinical chemistry analyzers from Beckman Instruments, such as the SYNCHRON CX® and LX™ Clinical Systems. The SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus is for use in the calibration of SYNCHRON Systems Antistreptolysin-O (ASO-), C-reactive protein (CRP), and Rheumatoid factor (RF) chemistries.

6.0 Intended Use:

The SYNCHRON® Systems CAL 5 Plus, when used in conjunction with SYNCHRON® Systems and reagents, is intended for use in the callibration of Antistreptolysin-O (ASO-) on the SYNCHRON CX® Systems and for Antistreploysin-O (ASO-), C-reactive protein (CRP), and Rheumatoid factor (RF) chemistries on the SYNCHRON LX™ Systems.

7.0 Comparison to Predicate(s):

The SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus is a frozen liquid human serum matrix identical to the Beckman CAL 5 Plus product. The only difference between the Beckman CAL 5 Plus and the SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus is the instrument platform on which they are used. The Beckman Immunochemistry Systems are fully automated, specific protein analyzers, that measure by nephelometry; while the SYNCHRON Systems are fully automated, clinical chemistry analyzers that measure by spectrophotometry.

8.0 Summary of Performance Data:

The data in the Premarket Notification on safety and effectiveness supports a finding of substantial equivalence of the SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus to the Beckman CAL 5 Plus and is stable for ASO, CRP, and RF. The value assignment process for each analyte is correlated to a known standard via the anchor method. The SYNCHRON Systems CAL 5 Plus value assignment and verification processes yield acceptable calibrator assigned values for calibration on the SYNCHRON LX System and SYNCHRON CX Systems.

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 53 i through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655.
