No
The 510(k) summary describes a reagent for a clinical chemistry analyzer, which is a chemical assay and does not typically involve AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data training/testing sets.

No
The device is a reagent for diagnostic testing and does not directly provide therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that "The results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases," indicating its role in diagnosis.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a reagent (BUN Reagent) used with a clinical system (Beckman SYNCHRON CX Clinical Systems) for the quantitative determination of urea nitrogen. This clearly indicates a chemical reagent and a hardware system, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the BUN Reagent is for the "quantitative determination of urea nitrogen in serum." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Purpose: The results are used "in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases." This aligns with the purpose of IVDs, which are used to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

The definition of an IVD generally includes reagents, instruments, and systems intended for use in the in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures. This description fits the BUN Reagent.

    Dear Ms. Shugart:

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 Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਸ 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 Reqister. 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.

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as . described in your 510 (k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling requlation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to
