QUALITROL IMMUNOASSAY PLUS CONTROL, Levels 1, 2 and 3, is a lyophilized QUAEFFROE immONessayed quality control material
This looks like a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called "QUALITROL IMMUNOASSAY PLUS CONTROL, Levels 1, 2 and 3." This letter grants market clearance based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than describing a study used for de novo approval or premarket approval (PMA) which would typically contain detailed acceptance criteria and study results.
Therefore, the provided document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria. The letter confirms substantial equivalence but does not provide performance data or acceptance criteria for a new device.
Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from this document:
- Type of Device: This is a quality control material for immunoassays, not a diagnostic or therapeutic device whose performance would be described in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc., in the same way.
- Regulatory Pathway: A 510(k) notification demonstrates substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. It typically relies on showing that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate, often through comparisons of design, materials, and intended use, and sometimes through performance testing if necessary to demonstrate equivalence. It does not usually involve extensive clinical trials with pre-defined acceptance criteria for novel performance claims in the way a PMA or de novo submission would.
- Content of the Letter: The letter explicitly states, "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." It doesn't present a study or performance results.
To answer your questions, one would need to access the full 510(k) submission (K992939) which might contain summary performance data used to demonstrate substantial equivalence, but that information is not in this FDA clearance letter.
§ 862.1660 Quality control material (assayed and unassayed).
(a)
Identification. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except when intended for use in donor screening tests, quality control materials (assayed and unassayed) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
