The document describes a reference control material for monitoring the accuracy of instruments, not the instrument itself or any software within it. There is no mention of AI or ML in the provided text.
No
The device is described as a reference control material designed to monitor the accuracy and precision of instruments, not to treat a condition or disease.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a reference control material used to monitor the accuracy and precision of instruments, not to diagnose a patient's condition directly.
No
The device is described as a "whole blood reference control material" and a "reference control material," indicating it is a physical substance used for calibration and quality control, not a software application.
Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that Retic-Quinox is a "whole blood reference control material designed to monitor the accuracy and precision of Coulter instruments equipped with reticulocyte measuring capabilities using VCS technology." This describes a product used in vitro (outside the body) to evaluate the performance of a diagnostic instrument.
- Device Description: The device description reinforces this by stating it's a "reference control material designed to monitor the accuracy and precision of Coulter instruments capable of performing reticulocyte counts." Again, this points to an in vitro use for quality control of a diagnostic test.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K930119; Retic-C manufactured by Coulter Diagnostics) which is also a control material for reticulocyte counting instruments, further supports its classification as an IVD. Predicate devices are typically other legally marketed IVDs.
IVDs are defined as reagents, instruments, and systems intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. Control materials like Retic-Quinox are essential components of IVD systems, used to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the diagnostic tests being performed.

§ 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.

Device Description:
Retic-Quinox is a reference control material designed to monitor the accuracy and precision of Coulter instruments capable of performing reticulocyte counts.
Technological Characteristic Comparison
Both Coulter's Retic-C and Hematronix' Retic-Quinox are in vitro diagnostic controls composed of stabilized human red cells in combination with a reticulocyte-like component suspended in a buffered, bacteriostatic and fungistatic fluid. In both products, the reticulocyte-like component is a cell of similar size to a human red cell and which contains a nucleus. In both products, three levels are provided in order to better monitor the Coulter instrument's accuracy and precision.

Dear Mr. Lapicola:
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.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments 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.
