Intended Use
The Ferritin Calibrator is intended to be used to calibrate the ferritin (FERR) method on the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system.
Device Description
The Ferritin Calibrator is a liquid bovine albumin-based product. The Level 1 calibrator contains no detectable ferritin. Levels 2 through 5 contain human liver ferritin. The kit consists of ten vials; two at each of five levels.
More Information

No
The summary describes a calibrator product for a clinical chemistry system, with no mention of AI or ML in its function or description.

No.
The device is a calibrator used to calibrate a ferritin diagnostic method on a clinical chemistry system, not to provide therapeutic treatment to a patient.

No.
Explanation: The device is a calibrator for a clinical chemistry system, used to ensure the accuracy of a diagnostic test (ferritin measurement), but it does not directly diagnose a condition itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "liquid bovine albumin-based product" and contains "human liver ferritin," indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's used to "calibrate the ferritin (FERR) method on the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system." This system is used for clinical chemistry testing, which involves analyzing biological samples (like blood or serum) outside the body to diagnose or monitor medical conditions. Calibration is a crucial step in ensuring the accuracy of these diagnostic tests.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it's a "liquid bovine albumin-based product" containing "human liver ferritin." These are biological components used in the calibration process for a diagnostic test.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K963493; Dimension® Ferritin Calibrator) strongly suggests that this device is regulated as an IVD, as predicate devices are used to demonstrate substantial equivalence for regulatory clearance of new IVD devices.
  • Intended User/Care Setting: The intended user is associated with a "clinical chemistry system," which is a setting where IVD testing is performed.

While the document doesn't explicitly state "In Vitro Diagnostic," the context of its intended use, description, and predicate device clearly align with the definition and characteristics of an IVD device. It's a reagent used to ensure the accuracy of a diagnostic test performed on biological samples outside the body.

Dear Ms. Craft:

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 leqally 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 Requlations, 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.
