More Information

No
The summary describes a calibrator for a clinical chemistry system, which is a standard laboratory reagent, and contains no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a calibrator for a clinical chemistry system, intended for use by laboratory personnel to calibrate an instrument, not for direct treatment or diagnosis of a patient.

No
This device is a calibrator for a clinical chemistry system, meaning it is used to ensure the accuracy of the system's measurements, not to directly diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "liquid protein based product" and a "kit consisting of six vials," indicating it is a physical, chemical calibrator, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for calibrating a clinical chemistry system for a specific method (total iron binding capacity - IBCT). This calibration is essential for ensuring the accuracy of diagnostic tests performed on patient samples.
  • Device Description: It's a liquid protein-based product used in a clinical laboratory setting.
  • Intended User/Care Setting: It's used by clinical laboratory personnel on a clinical chemistry system.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K863840; Dimension® IRN/TIBC Calibrator) which is also a calibrator for a clinical chemistry system strongly suggests this device falls under the same regulatory category, which for these types of products is IVD.

Calibrators for clinical chemistry systems are considered IVDs because they are used to establish the relationship between the signal measured by the instrument and the concentration of the analyte in a patient sample. This relationship is crucial for obtaining accurate diagnostic results.

Dear Ms. Norris:

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 OS 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.
