Intended Use

Dade TRU-Liquid Cardiac Control is intended for use as an assayed quality control material in clinical laboratory quality assurance programs and to assist in the control of accuracy and precision of a laboratory's cardiac marker procedures.

Device Story

Dade TRU-Liquid Cardiac Control is a liquid, tri-level quality control material used in clinical laboratories. It serves as an assayed control to monitor the performance, accuracy, and precision of cardiac marker diagnostic assays. Laboratory personnel use the control by processing it alongside patient samples to verify that the testing system is operating within established parameters. It does not provide diagnostic information for patients directly but ensures the reliability of the laboratory's cardiac marker testing procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Liquid, tri-level quality control material. In vitro diagnostic device. No specific materials, energy sources, or software algorithms described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as an assayed quality control material in clinical laboratory quality assurance programs to monitor the accuracy and precision of cardiac marker testing procedures.

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 Ms. Hernandez-Labadie:

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 The general controls provisions of the Act 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 requlations 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 comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. 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.
