Device Story
MasterCAP AM/RM 5.0 is a software suite for clinical laboratory management of in vitro diagnostic assays. AM (Assay Management) handles sample lists, creates worklists for Pharmacia CAP System equipment, calculates assay results, and generates reports; RM (Request Management) provides database storage for requests, patient test panels, and requester information. Software runs on Windows 3.x or 95. AM interfaces with diagnostic hardware (e.g., UniCAP 100, RoboCAP) to import/export sample data and results. Laboratory technicians use the system to automate assay workflows, manage data, and facilitate reporting to mainframe computers. System improves laboratory efficiency by centralizing request management and automating result calculation/reporting.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based information management system; runs on Microsoft Windows 3.x or Windows '95; interfaces with Pharmacia CAP System diagnostic equipment via driver functions; supports data import/export to mainframe computers; includes database management for requests and results.
Indications for Use
Indicated for laboratory use to manage in vitro diagnostic assay requests, sample lists, worklists, and result reporting in conjunction with Pharmacia CAP System diagnostic equipment.
Regulatory Classification

Dear Ms. Matis:
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.
