Intended Use

Tri-Point™ BRAND Liquimmune® Liquid Assayed Immunoassay Control is intended for use as a consistent test sample of known concentration for monitoring assay conditions of control with patient serum in immunological determinations. The user can compare specimens when assaying for any of the noted of time as a means of evaluating analytical recovered values over and instrument performance.

Device Story

Liquimmune® is a liquid assayed immunoassay control; provides known concentration samples for monitoring assay conditions and instrument performance in clinical laboratories. Used alongside patient serum in immunological determinations; allows comparison of recovered values over time to evaluate analytical consistency. Operates as a reference material for quality control; does not perform automated analysis or signal processing. Intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Liquid assayed immunoassay control; provided in three levels. Functions as a stable, known-concentration reference material for in vitro diagnostic use. No energy source, software, or complex mechanical components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a quality control material for monitoring assay performance and analytical recovery in immunological determinations using patient serum.

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.

Dear Mr. Richardson:

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 proiredion, 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 QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to mspoticility ato 2007 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.
