Intended Use
SEDRite™ Plus is a bi-level control for use in monitoring erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values obtained from manual and automated ESR methods.
Device Description
SEDRite™ Plus is an in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of mammalian erythrocytes suspended in a plasma-like fluid with preservatives. It is composed of stable materials that provide a means of monitoring the performance of manual and automated ESR methods. Overall performance of the system is monitored including the analyzer, disposable equipment, and technique.

More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the device being a reagent for monitoring ESR methods, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is described as an in vitro diagnostic reagent used to monitor the performance of ESR methods, not for diagnosing or treating a condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of mammalian erythrocytes suspended in a plasma-like fluid with preservatives." Its intended use is to monitor the performance of ESR methods, not to diagnose a patient's condition. It acts as a control for a diagnostic test.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of mammalian erythrocytes suspended in a plasma-like fluid, indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states "SEDRite™ Plus is a bi-level control for use in monitoring erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values obtained from manual and automated ESR methods." Monitoring the performance of diagnostic tests falls under the scope of IVDs.
  • Device Description: The description states "SEDRite™ Plus is an in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of mammalian erythrocytes suspended in a plasma-like fluid with preservatives." The term "in vitro diagnostic reagent" directly identifies it as an IVD.
  • Purpose: The purpose of the device is to monitor the performance of ESR methods, which are used to diagnose or monitor medical conditions. This is a key function of an IVD control.

§ 864.8625 Hematology quality control mixture.

(a)
Identification. A hematology quality control mixture is a device used to ascertain the accuracy and precision of manual, semiautomated, and automated determinations of cell parameters such as white cell count (WBC), red cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Except when intended for use in blood components, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

Substantial equivalence:

SEDRite™ Plus Hematology Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Control is equivalent to SEDRite™ Hematology Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Control currently being sold for in vitro diagnostic use. SEDRite™ is a trademark of R&D Systems, Inc. The FDA document number for the predicate device is K972172.

Device description:

SEDRite™ Plus is an in vitro diagnostic reagent composed of mammalian erythrocytes suspended in a plasma-like fluid with preservatives. It is composed of stable materials that provide a means of monitoring the performance of manual and automated ESR methods. Overall performance of the system is monitored including the analyzer, disposable equipment, and technique. SEDRite™ Plus is available in two levels and is run in the same manner as patient specimens.

Intended use:

SEDRite™ Plus is a bi-level control for use in monitoring erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values obtained from manual and automated ESR methods.

Comparison of SEDRite™ Plus to the predicate device:

SEDRite™ Plus has a similar intended use as the predicate device. The composition of SEDRite™ Plus is similar to the predicate device except for a proprietary change in the plasma-like fluid.

Discussion of performance data:

The determination of substantial equivalence is based on an assessment of performance data. Results of studies met acceptance criteria for stability was tested by recovery of values within the Expected Range through the life of the product. The shelf life for this product is established as 92 days from shipment and the open-vial stability is 36 days provided that the product is properly handled according to the package insert instructions.

Conclusions:

SEDRite™ Plus is intended for use as a control to monitor the performance of manual and automated ESR methods. The stability data demonstrate that SEDRite™ Plus is a stable material suitable to use as a control. SEDRite™ Plus is substantially equivalent to SEDRite™ control currently sold for in vitro diagnostic use.

Dear Ms. Gallo:

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.
