The document describes a quality control material for a chemistry analyzer and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
Explanation: The device is intended for verifying the accuracy of chemistry analyzers and test cartridges, not for treating any medical condition or disease.

No

Explanation: The device is intended to verify the accuracy of diagnostic devices (i-STAT chemistry analyzers), not to diagnose a patient's condition directly. It functions as a quality control material.

No

The device description clearly states it is a suspension of stabilized mammalian red blood cells in an aqueous buffered medium, packaged in vials. This indicates a physical, non-software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is for "verifying the accuracy of i-STAT chemistry analyzers used with i-STAT test cartridges." This is a classic function of a quality control material used in laboratory testing.
  • Device Description: It is a "suspension of stabilized mammalian red blood cells in an aqueous buffered medium," packaged in vials. This describes a reagent or control material used in a laboratory setting.
  • Assayed Parameters: It is assayed for various chemistry parameters (pH, Na*, Ca**, CIT, K*, BUN, Hgb, Hct, and Glucose), which are common analytes measured by in vitro diagnostic devices.
  • Performance Studies: The description of performance studies (lot to lot reproducibility, stability, site to site comparisons) are typical studies conducted for IVD control materials to demonstrate their reliability and consistency.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also control materials used with i-STAT analyzers, further confirming its role as an IVD control.

Therefore, Chem-Chex STAT fits the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device as it is a reagent/material intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) to verify the performance of another IVD device (the i-STAT analyzer and cartridges).

§ 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.

Names of Device:

Trade Name: Common Name: Classification Name: Classification Number: Chem-Chex STAT Assaved chemistry control Multi-analyte control (§862.1660) 75JJY

Predicate Device:

i-STAT control (K934641) manufactured by i-STAT Corp. Chem-Chex STAT control (K96115) manufactured by Streck Laboratory.

Description:

Chem-Chex STAT is a suspension of stabilized mammalian red blood cells in an aqueous buffered medium. Manufactured in three clinically significant levels, it is packaged in dropper tip polyethylene vials containing 2.0 mL volumes. Closures are injection molded polypropylene screw-top caps. Vials are packaged in polystyrene jars.

Intended Use:

Chem-Chex STAT is intended to be used for verifying the accuracy of i-STAT chemistry analyzers used with i-STAT test cartridges. Chem-Chex STAT is assayed for pH, Na*, Ca**, CIT, K*, BUN, Hgb, Hct, and Glucose.

Comparison with Predicate Devices:

Like the i-STAT Control and former Chem-Chex STAT (96115), Chem-Chex STAT (New) is intended to enable the user to verify satisfactory performance of the i-STAT analyzer and cartridge system. All levels of the device are liquid containing sodium, chloride, potassium, blood urea nitrogen, and glucose.

Like its predecessor control, Chem-Chex STAT (New) is an assayed control that provides the user a complete positive procedural control. It contains red blood cells and is assayed for hemoglobin and hematocrit, it is not assayed for PCO2, or PO2, like the i-STAT.

Discussion of Tests and Test Results:

Three studies of Chem-Chex STAT (New) were conducted: () lot to lot reproducibility; 11) open and closed vial stability; and III) site to site comparisons at 4 different locations. Study results showed Chem-Chex STAT (New) to be consistently reproducible, substantially equivalent to the predicate products, and stable for the entire product dating.

Conclusions Drawn from Tests:

Study results show Chem-Chex STAT (New) to be consistently reproducible, substantially equivalent to the predicate products, and stable for the entire product dating. Chem-Chex STAT (New) is a safe and effective product which fulfills its intended use when used as instructed in the product package insert.
