## Indications for Use

LiniCAL™ Protein 3 Calibration Verifiers Levels A - E for the Olympus AU Series Chemistry Immuno Analyzers™ is intended for use as an assayed quality control material for analysis.

## Device Story

LiniCAL™ Protein 3 Calibration Verifiers are assayed quality control materials used in clinical laboratory settings. The device serves as a reference standard to verify the calibration and performance of Olympus AU Series Chemistry Immuno Analyzers. Laboratory technicians use the verifier to monitor the accuracy and precision of the analyzer's protein measurement assays. By comparing the analyzer's output against the known assayed values of the verifier, clinicians ensure the reliability of patient test results. This process helps maintain analytical quality, reducing the risk of erroneous clinical decisions based on inaccurate diagnostic data.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Assayed quality control material in liquid form, provided in five levels (A-E). Designed specifically for use with Olympus AU Series Chemistry Immuno Analyzers. No electronic, software, or mechanical components; purely chemical/biological control material.

## Regulatory 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.

> Trade/Device Name: LiniCAL™ Protein 3 Calibration Verifiers Levels A - E for the Olympus AU Series Chemistry Immuno Analyzers TM Regulation Number: 21 CFR 862.1660 Regulation Name: Quality control material (assayed and unassayed) Regulatory Class: Class I Product Code: JJY Dated: February 20, 2003 Received: February 24, 2003

Dear Ms. Ruggiero:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).

Page 2 -

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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 information about the application of labeling requirements to your device. or questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 594-3084. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.

Sincerely yours,

Steven Sutman
