No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and stability of a quality control reagent for hematology systems, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.
No
This device is described as an "in vitro diagnostic reagent" intended as a "quality control" for hematology systems, not for treating or diagnosing patients.
No
This device is a quality control material used to monitor the performance of hematology systems, not to diagnose a patient's condition. It contains stable materials used to check if the diagnostic systems are working correctly.
No
The device description clearly states the product is an in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of physical components (mammalian erythrocytes, leukocytes, simulated platelets, fluid, preservatives). It is a control material for hardware-based hematology systems, not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the product is intended as a quality control for specific centrifugal hematology systems to monitor various blood parameters. This clearly indicates its use in a laboratory setting to assess the performance of diagnostic equipment.
- Device Description: The "Device Description" section describes the product as an in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of biological components in a plasma-like fluid with preservatives. It also states that it is used and tested in the same manner as patient samples, further reinforcing its role in the diagnostic process.
- Predicate Device: The "Predicate Device(s)" section lists a previous version of the same product, also identified as a "Centrifugal Hematology Control," which is a common type of IVD used for quality control in hematology testing.
All of these points strongly indicate that the QBC Centrifugal Hematology Control is an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
QBC Centrifugal Hematology Control is intended as a quality control for QBC+, QBC II, QBC II Plus, QBC Reference and QBC AUTOREAD centrifugal hematology systems, to monitor hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, granulocyte count, lymphocyte/monocyte count, and platelet count.

Device Description
The product is an in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of mammalian erythrocytes, mammalian leukocytes and simulated platelets in a plasma-like fluid with preservatives. OBC Control is composed of stable materials that provide a means of monitoring the performance of QBC centrifugal hematology systems. Overall system performance of disposable OBC blood tubes, including tube coating and float, is also monitored. QBC control is available in two levels that have varying concentrations of the parameters measured. QBC Control is used and tested in the same manner as patient samples.

Nonclinical testing of 3 validation lots centered on the performance attributes of stability and precision. QBC® Centrifugal Hematology Control passed the acceptance criteria of remaining within the assay range over the life of the product. QBC® Centrifugal Hematology Control also demonstrated precision as indicated by the small standard deviations and %CVs obtained during testing. Improved platelet performance was also noted. Expiration dating has been established at 21 days in the customers hands (closed vial) and 8 days open vial when stored at 2-8°C and handled according to instructions for use.

§ 864.8625 Hematology quality control mixture.
(a)
Identification. A hematology quality control mixture is a device used to ascertain the accuracy and precision of manual, semiautomated, and automated determinations of cell parameters such as white cell count (WBC), red cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Except when intended for use in blood components, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.
