Intended Use
The Dade Behring N High Sensitivity CRP assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative determination of C-reactive protein in human serum as well as heparin- and EDTA-plasma by means of particle-enhanced immunonephelometry using Dade Behring Nephelometer Systems. In acute phase response, increased levels of a number of plasma proteins, including Creactive protein, are observed. Measurement of CRP is useful for the detection and evaluation of infection, tissue injury, inflammatory disorders, and associated diseases.

No
The summary describes a standard in vitro diagnostic assay using immunonephelometry, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test used for quantitative determination of C-reactive protein to detect and evaluate infection, tissue injury, inflammatory disorders, and associated diseases. It does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay is "an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative determination of C-reactive protein..." and that "Measurement of CRP is useful for the detection and evaluation of infection, tissue injury, inflammatory disorders, and associated diseases," which clearly describes a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay that uses a nephelometer system, which is a hardware device. The description clearly indicates it's a chemical assay for measuring a substance in biological samples.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The very first sentence explicitly states, "The Dade Behring N High Sensitivity CRP assay is an in vitro diagnostic test..."
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies that it's a "nephelometric assay for the quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein in human serum, or heparinized or EDTA plasma." This describes a test performed on biological samples outside of the body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic.

The rest of the information provided supports this by describing a test used to analyze biological samples (serum, plasma) for a specific analyte (C-reactive protein) to aid in the detection and evaluation of various medical conditions.

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92

Dade Behring N High Sensitivity CRP

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

N High Sensitivity CRP is a nephelometric assay for the quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein in human serum, or heparinized or EDTA plasma. FDA has previously cleared this assay via the 510(k) process for the intended use for "the detection and evaluation of inflammatory disorders, tissue injury and infection".

The proposed revision is limited to modifications in the intended use. The intended use will be "for the detection and evaluation of tissue injury, inflammatory disorders, and associated diseases."

There are no other changes to the assay reagents or test system.

This labeling change is supported by a large, published literature base that uses both the Dade Behring methodology as well as other high sensitivity CRP methods.

Dear Ms. Ayash:

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.
