More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a reagent for a standard immunochemistry system using rate nephelometry, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

No.
The device is for the quantitative determination of human beta-2-microglobulin, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is intended for the quantitative determination of human beta-2-microglobulin, which is a measurement used in diagnosis, and its intended use is to determine concentrations in human serum samples. The performance studies also compare this device to a predicate device that is a "chemistry test system," implying a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Reagent" intended for use with a specific "Immunochemistry System," indicating it is a chemical substance used in a laboratory instrument, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of human beta-2-microglobulin" using human serum samples. This is a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's used for "quantitative determination of beta-2-microglobulin concentrations in human serum samples."
  • Method: The method used is "rate nephelometry," which is a common technique for analyzing components in biological fluids.
  • Context: The document is a Premarket Notification, which is a regulatory submission for medical devices, including IVDs. The comparison to a predicate device (K940353; Array Systems Beta-2-Microglobulin(B2M)) further indicates its nature as a diagnostic device.

All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

The data in the Premarket Notification on safety and effectiveness supports a finding of substantial equivalence to chemistry test systems already in commercial distribution. Equivalence is demonstrated through method comparison, stability, and imprecision experiments that relate results obtained from the Beckman Reagent on the Array® 360 System to the IMMAGE System Reagent.

Stability Study Results:
IMMAGE B2M reagent has a 24 month shelf-life, 14 day open container stability, and 14 day calibration stability.

Estimated Imprecision:
Sample: Level 1, Mean (mg/dL): 0.34, S.D. (mg/dL): 0.029, %C.V.: 8.5, N: 80
Sample: Level 2, Mean (mg/dL): 1.65, S.D. (mg/dL): 0.045, %C.V.: 2.7, N: 80

Dear Ms. Hellie:

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, labelinq, 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 Requlations, 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).
