Intended Use
The Boehringer Mannheim Precinorm and Precipath® RF Controls are used for the quality control of the Boehringer Mannheim Tinaquant RF assay.
Device Description
The Boehringer Mannheim Precinorm and Precipath® RF Controls are manufactured using human serum albumin, Rheumatoid Factor, and stabilizers. The analyte is appropriately spiked into the control matrix to the correct control concentration levels. The controls are in process checked, and a value assignment process is done via a comparison to an analyte specific (and chemistry specific) calibrator.
More Information

No
The summary describes a quality control material for a laboratory assay, not a device that processes data or images using AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is described as a quality control used for testing an assay, not for treating a condition or disease.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "control" used for "quality control" of an assay, indicating it is used to verify the accuracy of a diagnostic test rather than performing a diagnosis itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is manufactured using physical components (human serum albumin, Rheumatoid Factor, stabilizers) and is a control material for a laboratory assay, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the controls are used for the "quality control of the Boehringer Mannheim Tinaquant RF assay." Quality control materials for in vitro diagnostic tests are themselves considered IVDs.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the controls, which are used in a laboratory setting to assess the performance of an in vitro diagnostic assay (the Tinaquant RF assay).
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed (Behring N/T Rheumatology Control SL1, SL2) is also a control material used for in vitro diagnostic testing, further supporting the classification of this device as an IVD.

The core function of these controls is to be used in vitro (outside the body) to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of a diagnostic test that measures Rheumatoid Factor in a sample. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 862.1660 Quality control material (assayed and unassayed).

(a)
Identification. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except when intended for use in donor screening tests, quality control materials (assayed and unassayed) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
