The controls are processed and assayed to provide known values, allowing laboratory technicians to verify that the assay system is functioning correctly. By comparing the measured values of the controls against the expected ranges, clinicians ensure the reliability of patient test results. This monitoring process helps maintain diagnostic accuracy for Lp(a) testing, which is relevant for assessing cardiovascular risk. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Assayed quality control material for immunoturbidimetric assays. Formulated for stability and compatibility with Lp(a) test systems. ## Regulatory Identification A low-density lipoprotein immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the low-density lipoprotein in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of low-density lipoprotein in serum may aid in the diagnosis of disorders of lipid (fat) metabolism and help to identify young persons at risk from cardiovascular diseases. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Food and Drug Administration 2098 Gaither Road Rockville MD 20850 ## EC 1 3 2002 Mr. Brian Schliesman Official Correspondent Kamiva Biomedical Company 910 Industry Drive Seattle, WA 98188 Re: k023853 Trade/Device Name: K-ASSAY® Lp(a) Controls Regulation Number: 21 CFR 866.5600 Regulation Name: Low-density lipoprotein immunological test system Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: DFC Dated: November 15, 2002 Received: November 19, 2002 Dear Mr. Schliesman: 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.
