Intended Use
The GONOSTAT® Gonococcal Detection Kit is indicated for the presumptive detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae based on the detection of gonococcal DNA in female endocervical and male urethral specimens. Because of some cross-reactivity with DNA from N. meningitidis and some other members of the genus Neisseria, the test cannot be used with rectal or throat specimens.
Device Description
The device is a modification of the predicate device which is also marketed by Sierra Diagnostics, Inc. The device labeling was changed to reflect the results of additional clinical studies that support claims for the use of the device in low prevalence female populations.

No
The summary describes a DNA detection kit and modifications to its labeling based on clinical study results. There is no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is a diagnostic kit used for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, not for treating a condition.

Yes
The device is indicated for the "presumptive detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae based on the detection of gonococcal DNA," which directly points to its use in diagnosing an infection.

No

The device description and intended use clearly indicate a "Gonococcal Detection Kit" which is a laboratory test kit designed to detect DNA. This involves physical reagents and laboratory procedures, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "presumptive detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae based on the detection of gonococcal DNA in female endocervical and male urethral specimens." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: While it mentions a modification of a predicate device, the description of detecting gonococcal DNA from specimens aligns with the nature of an IVD.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing on biological specimens (endocervical specimens) and report metrics like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV, which are standard performance indicators for diagnostic tests.

The core function of the device is to analyze biological samples in vitro to aid in the diagnosis of a condition (gonorrhea), which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.3390

Neisseria spp. direct serological test reagents.(a)
Identification. Neisseria spp. direct serological test reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identifyNeisseria spp. from cultured isolates. Additionally, some of these reagents consist ofNeisseria spp. antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) which may be used to detect the presence ofNeisseria spp. directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by bacteria belonging to the genusNeisseria, such as epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, meningococcal disease, and gonorrhea, and also provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these microorganisms. The device does not include products for the detection of gonorrhea in humans by indirect methods, such as detection of antibodies or of oxidase produced by gonococcal organisms.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Stone:

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 (OS) 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.
