AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
For the quantitative determination of Total Bilirubin in serum. For IN VITRO diagnostic use.
Device Description
Traditional methods of measuring bilirubin are based on the reaction of bilirubin with a diazo reagent to form the colored compound: azo-bilirubin. The diazo reaction can be accelerated by the addition of various chemicals. For example, Malloy-Evelyn (1) used ethanol, Jendrassik-Grof (2) used caffeine, and Walters-Gerarde (3) used DMSO. Modifications of these methods included the addition of surfactants as solubilizing agents (4). In this method, a 2,4-dichlorophenyl diazonium salt is used as the diazo reagent and the reaction is facilitated by the use of a surfactant.

No
The device description details a traditional chemical reaction method for measuring bilirubin and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as being for "IN VITRO diagnostic use" to quantitatively determine Total Bilirubin in serum, indicating its purpose is for laboratory analysis of samples outside the body, not for treating a patient directly.

Yes

The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section states "For the quantitative determination of Total Bilirubin in serum. For IN VITRO diagnostic use," explicitly identifying it as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemical reaction-based method for measuring bilirubin, involving reagents and surfactants. This indicates a physical, in vitro diagnostic device, not a software-only device.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states:

  • "For the quantitative determination of Total Bilirubin in serum." This indicates the device is used to analyze a biological sample (serum) outside of the body.
  • "For IN VITRO diagnostic use." This is a direct declaration that the device is intended for in vitro diagnostic purposes.

The "Device Description" further supports this by describing a chemical method used to measure a substance (bilirubin) in a biological sample (serum).

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

For the quantitative determination of Total Bilirubin in serum. For IN VITRO diagnostic use. Bilirubin is a bile pigment normally found in serum as a result of red cell destruction. It is a product of hemoglobin breakdown by the reticuloendothetial system and exists in two forms. Unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin is transported to the liver bound by albumin where it becomes conjugated (direct) with glucuronic acid and excreted.

The elevation of total serum bilirubin may occur due to hemolytic processes, liver disease, or a disorder of the biliary tract.

Dear Ms. Callbeck:

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 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 In addition, FDA may publish further regulatory action. announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
