No
The device description and performance studies indicate a standard immunochromatographic assay with visual interpretation, and there is no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is an in-vitro diagnostic device used to screen for hypothyroidism by identifying TSH levels in blood samples, not for treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device "is intended for use as an in-vitro diagnostic device by medical professionals to screen for primary hypothryoidism."
No
The device is described as a "solid-phase, lateral now, immunochromatographic assay" and a "single-use Class II medical device," which are descriptions of a physical, in-vitro diagnostic test kit, not software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The test is intended for use as an in-vitro diagnostic device by medical professionals to screen for primary hypothryoidism."
The "Device Description" also refers to it as a "single-use Class II medical device for professional use". While not explicitly stating "in vitro diagnostic" in this section, the description of its function (analyzing a blood sample) and the context of the document (performance studies comparing it to other diagnostic assays) strongly support its classification as an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ThyroChek whole blood, rapid TSH assay is a visual, non-instrument, qualitative, solid-The THYFOOTOK WHOlO Lister repunochromatographic assay for identifiying capillary or phase, lateral now, ewatern TSH>5 microlU/ml. The test is intended for use as an in-vitro diagnostic device by medical professionals to screen for primary hypothryoidism. It is not indicated for use as a screening method for neonatal hypothyroidism.

Summary of Performance Studies
- Quantitative recovery data demonstrates analytic sensitivity between 4.06-5.62 micro IU/ml.
- Serial dilution data demonstrates analytic sensitivity between 4.57-5.87 micro IU/ml.
- Parallelism demonstrates:
a. functional sensitivity of 5.0 micro IU/ml.
b. % agreement in identifying specimens with TSH>5 microlU/ml compared to predicate second / third generation TSH assays = 99%.
c. % agreement in identifying specimens with TSH>5 microlU/ml compared to predicate serum-based one-step rapid TSH assay = 99%. - Replicated testing with 10 aliquots at 5 TSH concentrations showed no intraassay variation (coefficient of variation = 0).
- Assay performance is not affected by:
a. hCG in concentrations up to 82,500 mIU/ml
b. LH / FSH in concentrations > 25 mIU/ml
c. hematocrit between 14-65%
d. azotemia with BUN up to 70 mg% and creatinine up to 8.6 mg%
e. hyperglycemia with blood sugars up to 707 mg%
f. hyperlipidemia with serum triglycerides up to 844 mg%.

15. SMDA Summary
This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92. This new immunometric assay device is a single-use Class II medical device for professional use that is designed to indicate whether a capillary or venous blood sample contains TSH in a concentration ≥ 5 micro IU/ml. The intended use, technical characteristics, efficacy, and safety of this new device are substantially equivalent at detecting TSH > 5 micro IU/ml to a number of other TSH immunoassays that have been commercially available both before and after 1978, and Little Nell Labs believes that demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device in accordance with section 510(k) has been demonstrated.
This document contains the results of a number of validation studies which compare the performance of the whole blood rapid TSH assay at detecting TSH > 5 micro IU/ml to that of predicate medical devices, including second (K853717) and third (K930007) generation TSH immunoassays, and to a serum-based lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (K960195). The results obtained are as follows:
-
Quantitative recovery data demonstrates analytic sensitivity between 4.06-5.62 micro IU/ml.
-
Serial dilution data demonstrates analytic sensitivity between 4.57-5.87 micro IU/ml.
-
Parallelism demonstrates:
- a. functional sensitivity of 5.0 micro IU/ml.
- b. % agreement in identifying specimens with TSH>5 microlU/ml
- compared to predicate second / third generation TSH assays = 99%
- c. % agreement in identifying specimens with TSH>5 microlU/ml compared to predicate serum-based one-step rapid TSH assay = 99%.
- Replicated testing with 10 aliquots at 5 TSH concentrations showed no intraassay variation (coefficient of variation = 0).
5. Specificity and Interference. Assay performance is not affected by:
- a. hCG in concentrations up to 82,500 mIU/ml
- b. LH / FSH in concentrations > 25 mIU/ml
- c. hematocrit between 14-65%
- d. azotemia with BUN up to 70 mg% and creatinine up to 8.6 mg%
- e. hyperglycemia with blood sugars up to 707 mg%
- f. hyperlipidemia with serum triglycerides up to 844 mg%.

Dear Dr. Ehrenkranz:
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. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
