Architect Testosterone MasterCheck is intended for use in the verification of sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range on the Abbott Architect i System
Device Story
Architect Testosterone MasterCheck is a liquid, bovine serum-based control product containing testosterone. It is designed for use in clinical laboratory settings by laboratory professionals. The device serves as a calibration verification tool for the Abbott Architect i System. By processing these samples, the system verifies the sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range of the testosterone assay. The output allows the healthcare provider to confirm that the analyzer is performing within established specifications, ensuring the accuracy of patient testosterone test results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid bovine serum matrix containing testosterone; includes antimicrobial preservative. Designed for use with Abbott Architect i System. Storage at 2-8°C. Open vial stability: 3 days at 2-8°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a calibration verification material for the Abbott Architect i System to verify sensitivity, calibration linearity, and reportable range of testosterone assays.
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. Platt:
NOV 1 2 1998
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 Requlations, 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 requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
