Intended Use
FreshCells™ are indicated for use in the isolation of various viruses and Chlamydia from clinical specimens. Viruses and Chlamydia are intracellular parasites which can be cultured or grown only in specific cellular hosts. They cause a variety of diseases in man with some virus 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.
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 S10(k) K936271 and A549 and HEp-2, under 510(k) K962306 which have previously been cleared for marketing under the same name, Fresh Cella™) as nearly confluent monolayers ready for use upon receipt after a short pre-incubation period.
More Information

No
The summary describes cell cultures for viral isolation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device, FreshCells™, is described as providing cell monolayers for the isolation and identification of viruses and Chlamydia from clinical specimens, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is FreshCells™, which are cell cultures used to isolate and grow viruses and Chlamydia from clinical specimens. This process is a preparatory step for identifying the viral agent, but the device itself is not performing a diagnostic function; it provides the medium for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the product provides "cells" as "nearly confluent monolayers," which are biological materials, 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 that FreshCells™ are "indicated for use in the isolation of various viruses and Chlamydia from clinical specimens." This involves testing samples taken from the human body (clinical specimens) to identify the presence of specific pathogens.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to facilitate the "culture or grown only in specific cellular hosts" of viruses and Chlamydia, which is a diagnostic step in identifying the cause of disease.
  • Context: The description mentions the importance of identifying viral agents for the "introduction of several new and specific antiviral drugs," further highlighting the diagnostic nature of the product in guiding treatment.

The device provides the necessary biological material (cell lines) for performing an in vitro diagnostic test (viral and Chlamydia culture).

Re: K973209 Trade Name: Fresh Cells™ Vero Regulatory Class: I Product Code: KIR Dated: August 22, 1997 Received: August 27, 1997

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.

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).
