Intended Use

Deficiencies in coagulation factors may have congenital or acquired etiologies and can compromise in vivo hemostasis. Factor VIII is a trace protein which is present in vivo as a complex with von Willebrand factor and is necessary for intrinsic coagulation. Factor VIII deficiency (hemophilia A) is commonly diagnosed in vitro through the use of a modified activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) assay. When a patient sample is mixed with factor VIII deficient plasma, the degree of correction of the APTT is proportional to the level of Factor VIII in the patient plasma. CryoCheck Factor VIII Deficient Plasma is human plasma deficient in the factor VIII coagulation protein while having all other coagulation factors within normal limits. It is indicated for use to assess factor VIII deficiencies in in vitro clot-based factor VIII assays using the activated partial thromboplastin time.

Device Story

CryoCheck Factor VIII Deficient Plasma is human plasma depleted of factor VIII while maintaining normal levels of other coagulation factors. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians/pathologists to perform in vitro clot-based factor VIII assays. Principle of operation: patient plasma sample mixed with factor VIII deficient plasma; degree of APTT correction measured; correction proportional to patient factor VIII level. Assists clinicians in diagnosing hemophilia A and assessing hemostasis. Provides standardized reagent for quantitative factor VIII testing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Human plasma reagent; factor VIII deficient; other coagulation factors within normal limits. Formulated for use in clot-based APTT assays.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in in vitro clot-based factor VIII assays using activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) to assess factor VIII deficiencies in patients with suspected congenital or acquired coagulation factor deficiencies.

Dear Ms. Morrison:

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 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 requirement, 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 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 [phone].

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 [phone]. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number [phone] or [phone] or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
