Mass Spectrometer For Clinical Multiplex Test Systems

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
A mass spectrometer for clinical multiplex test systems is a device that is intended to measure and sort multiple signals generated by an assay from a clinical sample. The generated signals are produced by ionizing the compound or biological material under investigation and separating the resulting ions by means of an electrical and magnetic field according to their mass-to-charge ratios. This instrumentation is used with specific assays to comprise an assay test system to measure multiple analytes of a similar chemical nature.
Physical State
mass spectrometer
Technical Method
Multiplex mass spectrometer. The device may integrate sample preprocessing/work station, liquid or gas chromatography, raw data storage mechanisms and other essential hardware and software components along with the basic modules of a mass spectrometry instrument.

CFR § 862.2570 Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems

§ 862.2570 Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems.

(a) Identification. Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems is a device intended to measure and sort multiple signals generated by an assay from a clinical sample. This instrumentation is used with a specific assay to measure multiple similar analytes that establish a single indicator to aid in diagnosis. Such instrumentation may be compatible with more than one specific assay. The device includes a signal reader unit, and may also integrate reagent handling, hybridization, washing, dedicated instrument control, and other hardware components, as well as raw data storage mechanisms, data acquisition software, and software to process detected signals.

(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9. The special control is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Instrumentation for Clinical Multiplex Test Systems.” See § 862.1(d) for the availability of this guidance document.
