Intended Use
Cell cultures to be used as hosts for the isolation and identification of specific viruses. The subject of this 510(k) Notification, the cell lines HEL, HFF, LLC-MK2, Mv1Lu, NCI H292, Vero and WI-38 are susceptible to and can be used in the isolation and confirmation of the following viruses from clinical samples: Adenovirus, CMV, Echovirus, HSV, Poliovirus, Rhinovirus, Vesicular stomatitis (Indiana Strain) virus and VZV; Adenovirus, CMV, Echovirus, HSV, Mumps, Poliovirus, Rhinovirus, VZV; Poliovirus type 1, Enterovirus, Rhinovirus, Myxovirus and Poxvirus groups; HSV, CMV; Vaccinia virus, HSV, Adenovirus, BK polyomavirus, Reoviruses, Measles virus, RSV, some strains of Influenza type A, most Enteroviruses and Rhinoviruses, Parainfluenza and Mumps; Adenovirus, Coxsackie B, HSV, Measles, Mumps, Poliovirus type 3, Rotavirus, Rubella; Adenovirus, CMV, Echovirus, HSV, Influenza, Mumps, Poliovirus, Rhinovirus, RSV, VZV. FreshCells™ are indicated for use in the isolation of various viruses and Chlamydia from clinical specimens.
Device Description
The subject device provides HEL, HFF, LLC-MK2, Mv1Lu, NCI H292, Vero and WI-38 cells (in addition to MRC-5, McCOY, BGMK, and CV-1, under 510 (k) K936271 and A549 and HEp-2, under 510(k) K962306 which have previously been cleared for marketing under the same name, Fresh Cells™) as nearly confluent monolayers ready for use upon receipt after a short pre-incubation period.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes cell cultures for viral isolation and identification. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of data. The performance studies focus on the biological characteristics of the cell lines.

No
The device provides cell cultures for the isolation and identification of viruses and Chlamydia, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The intended use explicitly states that the cell cultures are "for the isolation and identification of specific viruses" and "can be used in the isolation and confirmation of the following viruses from clinical samples." This indicates the device is used to diagnose the presence of viruses.

No

The device description clearly states that the device provides cell lines as nearly confluent monolayers, which are physical biological materials, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the cell cultures are "to be used as hosts for the isolation and identification of specific viruses" from "clinical samples." This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device provides cell lines as "nearly confluent monolayers ready for use upon receipt." These cells are the medium for performing the diagnostic test (virus isolation and identification).
  • Performance Studies: The summary of performance studies mentions "virus susceptibility," which is a key characteristic evaluated for an IVD used in virology.

The core function of this device is to facilitate the isolation and identification of viruses from clinical samples, which is a diagnostic process performed outside of the human body (in vitro).

Dear Mr. Brown:

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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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.

Viruses and Chlamydia are intracellular parasites which can be cultured or grown only in specific They cause a variety of diseases in man with some virus cellular hosts. infections being lethal, particularly if the individual is immunocompromised. With the introduction of several new and specific antiviral drugs over the last several years, the need to determine the identity of the viral agent has become even more important. Culture of viruses in specific cell lines has become the standard for the identification of these viruses.
