No
The summary describes a laboratory test system for measuring a hormone and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is for measuring a hormone to aid in diagnosis and treatment, not for providing therapy itself.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases".

No

The 510(k) summary describes a "total triiodothyronine test system" intended to measure a hormone in serum. This strongly implies a physical device that interacts with a biological sample (serum), which is not a software-only device. The lack of a device description prevents definitive confirmation, but the intended use points away from a software-only classification.

Yes, based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is "intended to measure the hormone triiodothyronine in serum." Measuring substances in bodily fluids (like serum) outside of the body is a core characteristic of in vitro diagnostics.
  • Diagnostic Purpose: The intended use also states that the measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose, which is another defining feature of IVDs.

The information provided aligns perfectly with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Mehra:

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 legally marketed predicate 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 aqainst 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 requlatory 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.
