More Information

No
The summary describes a standard immunochemistry reagent and system for quantitative determination of Antithrombin III using rate nephelometry. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The performance studies focus on method comparison, stability, and imprecision, which are standard evaluations for such devices.

No
This device is a reagent for determining Antithrombin III levels, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states "quantitative determination of human Antithrombin III by rate nephelometry," which is a measurement used to aid in diagnosis or for disease monitoring.

No

The device is a reagent intended for use with a specific immunochemistry system (Beckman IMMAGE™). Reagents are physical substances used in chemical reactions, not software. The description focuses on the reagent's performance and stability, not software functionality.

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 Antithrombin III by rate nephelometry." This is a laboratory test performed on biological samples (plasma, as indicated in the Method Comparison Study).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use in "quantitative determination of Antithrombin III concentrations" on a specific immunochemistry system.
  • Method Comparison Study: The study compares the results obtained from this reagent to a "Predicate Method" (Array 360 System AT3 Reagent), which is another IVD device. This comparison is typical for demonstrating equivalence in the IVD regulatory process.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" with a K number (K901977) is a strong indicator that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD.

All these points align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

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.

§ 864.7060 Antithrombin III assay.

(a)
Identification. An antithrombin III assay is a device that is used to determine the plasma level of antithrombin III (a substance which acts with the anticoagulant heparin to prevent coagulation). This determination is used to monitor the administration of heparin in the treatment of thrombosis. The determination may also be used in the diagnosis of thrombophilia (a congenital deficiency of antithrombin III).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

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 reqistration, 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 Requlations, 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 (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 requlatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. 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.
