More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a quality control serum for laboratory procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is described as an "assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of an individual laboratory's specific cardiac marker procedures", indicating it is used for quality control of diagnostic tests, not for directly treating a condition in a patient.

No
Explanation: This device is a quality control material used to monitor the precision of cardiac marker procedures, not to diagnose a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a liquid control serum, which is a physical substance, 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 "monitoring the precision of an individual laboratory's specific cardiac marker procedures." This indicates it's used in vitro (outside the body) to assess the performance of diagnostic tests.
  • Device Description: It's a "quality control serum" prepared from biological materials (human serum). Quality control materials are a key component of IVD testing to ensure accuracy and reliability.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K961828; Liquichek Cardiac Markers Control) strongly suggests it's a regulated medical device, and quality control materials for diagnostic tests fall under the IVD category.

The other sections being "Not Found" or irrelevant to the core definition of an IVD (like image processing, AI, anatomical site, etc.) do not negate its classification as an IVD based on its intended use and description.

§ 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.
