Intended Use

The Bilichek™ Non-Invasive Bilirubin Analyzer is a computer assisted non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubinometer which is intended as an index to predict serum bilirubin levels in neonates less than eight days old, without regard to gender, gestational age, race, or bodyweight. The Bilichek™ provides a numerical measurement of predicted bilirubin count in mo/dL within a clinically beneficial range that has been correlated with total serum bilirubin concentration measured by High Performance Liquid Chromotography (HPLC). The device is used in the hospital or institutional environment to assist clinicians in monitoring the status of neonates for the development of hyperbilirubinemia. Neonates whose Bilichek™ test results are indicative of hyperbilirubinemia are evaluated by their physician(s) for appropriate patient management.

Device Description

The Bilichek™ Non-Invasive Bilirubin Analyzer is a computer assisted non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubinometer.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is limited to a 510(k) clearance letter for the Bilichek™ Non-Invasive Bilirubin Analyzer, and an "Indications for Use" statement. It does not contain information regarding detailed acceptance criteria, specific study designs, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request for information on acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them from the given text.

The document only states:

  • Trade Name: Bilichek™, Non-Invasive Bilirubin Analyzer
  • Regulatory Class: II
  • Intended Use: "as an index to predict serum bilirubin levels in neonates less than eight days old, without regard to gender, gestational age, race, or bodyweight."
  • Performance Claim: "The Bilichek™ provides a numerical measurement of predicted bilirubin count in mg/dL within a clinically beneficial range that has been correlated with total serum bilirubin concentration measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)."

To provide the requested information, a more comprehensive submission, such as the full 510(k) submission or a detailed clinical study report, would be necessary.

Dear Mr. Cowart:

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 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).
