More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laboratory calibrator for a fibrinogen assay, which is a chemical reagent, not a software or imaging device typically associated with AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as "Fibrinogen Calibrators" used to prepare reference curves for an assay, not for treating any condition.

No

The device is a calibrator used to prepare reference curves for an assay, not a device that directly diagnoses a condition.

No

The device description clearly states the device is "lyophilized calibrators prepared from pooled human plasma," indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the calibrators are used "for the assay of fibrinogen by the method of Clauss using Dade Behring Multifibrin U." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (presumably plasma, as the calibrators are prepared from human plasma) to measure a specific analyte (fibrinogen).
  • Device Description: The description confirms that the calibrators are "lyophilized calibrators prepared from pooled human plasma... diluted with buffered solution or supplemented with purified fibrinogen and stabilized." This further supports the idea that these are reagents used in a laboratory setting for diagnostic testing.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K925988; Dade Behring Fibrinogen Standards) which is also a fibrinogen standard, strongly suggests that this device falls under the same regulatory category, which for such products is typically IVD.

The information provided clearly indicates that this device is a reagent used in an in vitro test to aid in the diagnosis or monitoring of a medical condition (related to fibrinogen levels).

§ 864.7340 Fibrinogen determination system.

(a)
Identification. A fibrinogen determination system is a device that consists of the instruments, reagents, standards, and controls used to determine the fibrinogen levels in disseminated intravascular coagulation (nonlocalized clotting within the blood vessels) and primary fibrinolysis (the dissolution of fibrin in a blood clot).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A control or fibrinogen standard intended for use with a fibrinogen determination system is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

Fibrinogen Calibrators 1 to 6 are used to prepare reference curves for the assay of fibrinogen by the method of Clauss using Dade Behring Multifibrin U.

Medical device to which equivalence is claimed and comparison information: 6.

There are a number of in vitro diagnostic products in commercial distribution, which are used for the establishment of reference curves. One such product is the Dade Behring Fibrinogen Standards (K925988). The Fibrinogen Calibrator Kit is substantially equivalent in intended use to the Fibrinogen Standards. The Fibrinogen Calibrator Kit, like the Fibrinogen Standards is intended to be used for the calibration of a fibrinogen assay

Dear Ms. Ayash:

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.
