More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a calibration and verification material for a laboratory assay, not a device that processes data or images using AI/ML.

No.
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic control for verifying the performance of a Folate assay, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
This device is for the verification of an assay on a system, not for diagnosing patients.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device contains physical components (borate buffer, pteroyIglutamic acid, citrate buffer, protein stabilizers, antimicrobial agent) and is intended for use with a specific hardware system (Abbott Architect i System), indicating it is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Architect Folate MasterCheck is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "verification of sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range of the Folate assay on the Abbott Architect i System." This indicates it's used in vitro (outside the body) to assess the performance of a diagnostic test (the Folate assay).
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the different levels of the MasterCheck, which are reagents used in a laboratory setting.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K950469; Casco Standards Document Serum Multi-Analyte Verification Test Set) is common for IVD devices undergoing regulatory review, as it establishes a basis for comparison.

While the document doesn't contain information about image processing, AI, patient age, or performance studies (which are often included for diagnostic tests themselves), the core function and intended use clearly 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 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.
