Device Description
ABL735 is an automated pH/Blood Gas/Co-oximetry/Electrolyte/Metabolite Analyzer that is 44cm X 70cm X 50cm (HWD) and weighs 30kg. It measures on whole blood in approximately 60 seconds.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard automated blood gas analyzer and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is described as an in vitro testing device for analyzing whole blood parameters, not for treating or diagnosing a patient.

Yes
The device is an analyzer that measures various parameters in whole blood for in vitro testing, which aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device used for identifying and monitoring medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the physical dimensions and weight of the ABL735, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Yes, the ABL735 is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for in vitro testing of samples of whole blood". "In vitro" means "in glass" or "outside the body," which is a key characteristic of IVD devices.
  • Sample Type: The device analyzes "samples of whole blood," which are biological specimens taken from the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Parameters Measured: The parameters measured (pH, pO₂, pCO₂, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, bilirubin, and co-oximetry parameters) are all common diagnostic tests performed on blood samples to assess a patient's health status.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ABL735 clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Sigmund:

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 Amendnents 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). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
