More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The summary describes a manual or semi-automated immunoassay for detecting VZV antibodies, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is for in vitro diagnostic use, detecting antibodies to VZV in human serum, which means it aids in diagnosis rather than treating a medical condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use only" and describes its use for "qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of IgG antibodies" as an "aid in the diagnosis of primary infection, or reactivation of VZV".

No

The intended use and device description (or lack thereof) strongly suggest this is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit, which is a physical product containing reagents and potentially hardware components for laboratory testing. The mention of "manual use" and a "semi-automated fluid handler" further supports this. There is no indication of software being the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The first point under "Intended Use / Indications for Use" clearly states: "1. For in vitro diagnostic use only." This is the most direct indicator.
  • Nature of the Test: The device is designed to detect antibodies in human serum, which is a biological sample taken from the body and tested in vitro (outside the body).
  • Purpose of the Test: The test is used to determine immune status and aid in the diagnosis of VZV infection, which are diagnostic purposes.

The other sections being "Not Found" or "Not Applicable" don't negate the clear indication of "in vitro diagnostic use" and the nature of the test being performed on a biological sample for diagnostic purposes.

§ 866.3900 Varicella-zoster virus serological reagents.

(a)
Identification. Varicella-zoster virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to varicella-zoster in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by varicella-zoster viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Varicella (chicken pox) is a mild, highly infectious disease, chiefly of children. Zoster (shingles) is the recurrent form of the disease, occurring in adults who were previously infected with varicella-zoster viruses. Zoster is the response (characterized by a rash) of the partially immune host to a reactivation of varicella viruses present in latent form in the patient's body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Cort:

Re:

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 current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) 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.

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 regulation (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 premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
