No
The summary describes a calibrator for a laboratory test, which is a physical reference material, not a software or system that would typically incorporate AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, algorithms, or data processing beyond the basic function of a calibrator.

No.
The device is a calibrator used in diagnostic testing, not a device that directly treats a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a calibrator, which is used to establish points of reference for measurements, not to directly diagnose a condition. It is a component used within a test system that ultimately aids in diagnosis, but it is not a diagnostic device itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "five level frozen product" containing cardiac troponin-I in a "buffered bovine protein matrix," indicating it is a physical reagent, not software.

Yes, based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's "for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens." This is a core function of an IVD - to be used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze human specimens for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it contains "cardiac troponin-l in a buffered bovine protein matrix" and is used to calibrate a test system for measuring this substance in human specimens. This further supports its role in in vitro testing.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" which is also a "Cardiac Troponin-I Calibrator" strongly suggests that this type of device is regulated as an IVD. Predicate devices are typically other legally marketed devices that are substantially equivalent to the new device, and in the medical device regulatory context, this usually applies to IVDs.

Therefore, the intended use and the nature of the device as a calibrator for measuring a substance in human specimens clearly indicate that it falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
