More Information

No
The summary describes a reagent and system for quantitative determination of C-reactive protein using rate nephelometry, a standard laboratory technique. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related computational methods. The performance studies focus on standard analytical validation metrics like method comparison, linearity, and imprecision.

No
The device is a reagent and system for quantitatively determining C-reactive protein, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It provides information about a patient's condition but does not treat or alleviate a disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for the "quantitative determination of human C-reactive protein in serum or plasma," which is a measurement used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "reagent" intended for use with a specific hardware system (Beckman Coulter's Array 360 System). Reagents are chemical substances, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "for the quantitative determination of human C-reactive protein in serum or plasma". This indicates the device is used to test samples taken from the human body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use, stating it's for "quantitative determination of human C-reactive protein concentrations in human serum and plasma samples".
  • Sample Type: The device uses serum or plasma, which are biological samples taken from the human body.
  • Measurement: It performs a "quantitative determination," meaning it measures the amount of a specific substance (C-reactive protein) in the sample.
  • Diagnostic Purpose: Measuring C-reactive protein levels is a common diagnostic test used to assess inflammation in the body.

All these characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Hellie:

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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97).
