Intended Use
VIROTROL III quality assurance reagent is a liquid unassayed human serum based quality control material intended for use with in vitro assay procedures for determination of immunoglobulin M antibodies to Hepatitis A Virus(HAV-IgM), immunoglobulin M antibodies to Hepatitis B core Antigen(HBc-IgM), Hepatitis B e Antigen(HBeAg) and total antibody to Hepatitis A Virus(anti-HAV). VIROTROL III reagents are intended to provide a means of estimating precision and have the potential for detecting systematic deviations from specific laboratory testing procedures.

No
The device is a quality control material, not a diagnostic or analytical device that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The description and lack of mentions of AI/ML terms or performance studies further support this.

No
This device is a quality control material used for in vitro assay procedures, not for treating diseases or conditions.

No
The device is described as a quality control material intended for estimating precision and detecting systematic deviations in laboratory testing procedures for in vitro assays, not for diagnosing diseases in patients.

No

The device is described as a "liquid unassayed human serum based quality control material," which is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "use with in vitro assay procedures for determination of immunoglobulin M antibodies to Hepatitis A Virus(HAV-IgM), immunoglobulin M antibodies to Hepatitis B core Antigen(HBc-IgM), Hepatitis B e Antigen(HBeAg) and total antibody to Hepatitis A Virus(anti-HAV)." This involves testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to detect specific markers related to diseases.
  • Device Description: It's a "liquid unassayed human serum based quality control material." Quality control materials used in laboratory testing for diagnostic purposes are considered IVDs.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: It's intended for "laboratory testing procedures," which is a typical setting for IVD use.

The purpose of this device is to ensure the accuracy and reliability of in vitro diagnostic tests. While it's a quality control material and not a test itself that directly diagnoses a patient, it is an essential component used with IVD tests to ensure their proper functioning. Therefore, it falls under the definition of an IVD.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Polito:

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 (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).
