More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on chemical reagents for assay verification, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as being used for "verification of sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range of the LH assay," indicating it is a diagnostic or quality control tool, not a therapeutic one.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for the verification of sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range of an LH assay, which means it helps ensure the proper functioning of a diagnostic test rather than directly providing diagnostic information. It is a control or calibrator, not a diagnostic device itself.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device contains physical components (HEPES buffer, protein stabilizers, LH (human), antimicrobial agent). This indicates it is a physical reagent, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that it is for "verification of sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range of the LH assay on the Abbott Architect i System." This means it's used to test the performance of another diagnostic test (the LH assay), which is a core function of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of the product, including biological materials (LH, protein) and buffers, which are typical components of IVD reagents or calibrators/controls.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K950469 Casco Standards Document Serum Multi-Analyte Verification Test Set) further supports its classification as an IVD. Predicate devices are used to demonstrate substantial equivalence for regulatory purposes, and they are typically other IVDs.

While the document doesn't contain information about image processing, AI, patient demographics, or performance studies, the core function and description align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Platt:

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 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 obliqation 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 requlations.
