Intended Use

Liquichek ANA Control, Speckled Pattern is intended for use as an unassayed quality control to monitor indirect immunofluorescent testing of antinuclear antibodies (ANA).

Device Story

Liquichek ANA Control, Speckled Pattern is an in vitro diagnostic quality control product used in clinical laboratories. It consists of human serum supplemented with preservatives (0.1% sodium azide) and stabilizers, provided in a liquid format. The device serves as a control for monitoring the accuracy and precision of indirect immunofluorescent assays designed to detect antinuclear antibodies. Laboratory personnel use the control alongside patient samples during routine testing. By comparing the observed results of the control against expected values, clinicians verify the performance of the immunofluorescent test system. This process ensures the reliability of patient test results, aiding in the accurate diagnosis and management of autoimmune conditions associated with antinuclear antibodies.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Human serum-based quality control; contains 0.1% sodium azide preservative. Provided in liquid form. Storage at 2-8°C. Open-vial stability of 30 days at 2-8°C. Designed for monitoring ANA (Speckled Pattern) indirect immunofluorescent assays.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as an unassayed quality control serum to monitor the performance of indirect immunofluorescent testing for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in clinical laboratory settings.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

Dear Ms. Platt:

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 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 Ouality 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.
