Class 1
Indications for Use
The Real-Time PCR Internal Control 2B Set consists of reagents intended for use as an unassayed internal extraction and amplification process control in any real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. The Internal Control 2B Set can be used to detect systemic variation that may arise during the extraction and amplification process associated with real-time PCR assays. The set is not intended to monitor other real-time PCR processes.
Device Story
Real-Time PCR Internal Control 2B Set provides reagents for monitoring extraction and amplification processes in real-time PCR assays. Components include IC2 Template (nonsense DNA fragment in pUC19 plasmid vector), IC2-B Primers, and IC2-B Probe (fluorescently labeled). Used in laboratory settings; operators are laboratory personnel. The control is added to the PCR process to detect systemic variation. If the control fails to amplify or detect as expected, it indicates potential issues with the extraction or amplification steps of the assay. Benefits include quality assurance for PCR-based diagnostic workflows.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Reagents in 1X TE buffer. IC2 Template: DNA fragment in pUC19 plasmid. IC2-B Probe: MGB moiety, fluorescent dye (523 nm excitation/554 nm emission), and quencher. Intended for real-time PCR amplification. Unassayed control material.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an unassayed internal extraction and amplification process control in any real-time PCR assay to detect systemic variation during the extraction and amplification process.
Regulatory Classification
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.

# 510(k) SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION DECISION SUMMARY
A. 510(k) Number:
K083430
B. Purpose for Submission:
Nanogen's Real-Time PCR internal control material falls under CFR 862.1660 Quality Control Material (assayed and unassayed) and is Class I exempt. However, since it operates using a different fundamental scientific technology than a legally marketed device, it trips the limitations of exemptions in CFR 862.9b and requires premarket notification.
C. Measurand:
Internal control template
D. Type of Test:
PCR
E. Applicant:
Nanogen, Inc.
F. Proprietary and Established Names:

## H. Intended Use:
1. Intended use(s):
The Real-Time PCR Internal Control 2B Set consists of reagents intended for use as an unassayed internal extraction and amplification process control in any real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. The Internal Control 2B Set can be used to detect systemic variation that may arise during the extraction and amplification process associated with real-time PCR assays.

Same as intended use
3. Special conditions for use statement(s):
In Vitro diagnostic use only
4. Special instrument requirements:
NA
## I. Device Description:
The Real-Time PCR Internal Control 2B Set contains the IC2 Template, the IC2-B Primers, and the IC2-B Probe. The IC2-B Primers and Probe are optional, and can be used to amplify and detect the IC2 Template. Alternatively, other primers and probe may be used if targeted toward the IC2 Template. Laboratories should dilute the IC2 Template as well as primers and probe that are to be used for the amplification and determine empirically the optimal concentrations of all control reagents for your assay.
The IC2 Template consists of a nonsense, non-specific target DNA fragment cloned into the plasmid vector pUC19 in a 1X TE buffer solution. The target DNA fragment of the IC2 Template is as follows:
5' - CTGCACGGACCAGTTACTTTACGGACCACGTACCGCATTGGTACAAGA TCTCCGGTAGAAAAAATGAG - 3'
The IC2-B Primers consists of two primers in a 1X TE buffer solution. The sequences of the primers are as follows:

5' – CTGCACGGACCAGTTACTTTACG – 3'
5' – CTCATTTTTTCTACCGGAGATCTTGT – 3'
The IC2-B Probe consists of one probe in a 1X TE buffer solution. The IC2-B Probe is labeled with a proprietary dye and has an excitation wavelength maxima of 523 nm and an emission wavelength maxima of 554 nm. The sequence of the probe is as follows:
5' – MGB Moiety – Fluorescent Dye – AATGCGCTACGTGGTCC – Quencher – 3'
