More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a quality control material for laboratory testing, not a device that processes data or images using AI/ML.

No
This device is an unassayed quality control material used to monitor indirect immunofluorescent testing for antinuclear antibodies, not to treat a condition or disease.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an unassayed quality control for monitoring indirect immunofluorescent testing of antinuclear antibodies. It is used to monitor the testing, not to diagnose a condition directly.

No

The device description explicitly states it is prepared from human serum and provided in liquid form, indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "monitoring indirect immunofluorescent testing of antinuclear antibodies (ANA)". This testing is performed in vitro (outside the body) on patient samples (presumably serum, as the control is prepared from human serum).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "quality control" prepared from "human serum". Quality controls are essential components of in vitro diagnostic testing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K813592 Kallestad Quantafluor Autoantibody Positive Control) which is also an IVD control further supports its classification as an IVD.

Therefore, based on the intended use and description, the Liquichek ANA Control, Speckled Pattern fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

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 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 Ouality 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.
