Intended Use

Status First™ Strep A is an immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen directly from throat swab specimens to aid in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection.

Device Story

Status First™ Strep A is an in vitro, one-step immunochromatographic diagnostic test. It detects Group A Streptococcal antigen directly from throat swab specimens. The device functions as a rapid, qualitative immunoassay. It is intended to aid healthcare providers in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection. The test provides a visual result, allowing for immediate clinical assessment and decision-making regarding patient treatment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological and performance similarity to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

In vitro immunochromatographic assay. One-step qualitative test format. Designed for use with throat swab specimens.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen in throat swab specimens to aid in early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Streptococcus spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera (excluding streptococcal exoenzyme reagents made from enzymes secreted by streptococci) used in serological tests to identify Streptococcus spp. from cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Streptococcus and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Pathogenic streptococci are associated with infections, such as sore throat, impetigo (an infection characterized by small pustules on the skin), urinary tract infections, rheumatic fever, and kidney disease.

- 3. Device Name Trade Names: Status First™ Strep A FDA Classification Name: Immunoassay, Streptococcus SPP. (Microbiology Classification Device List)
- 4. Identification of legally marketed device to which claims equivalence: BioSign StrepA, k971349
- 5. Device Description: Status First"" Strep A is an in vitro, simple, one step immunochromatographic diagnostic test for the rapid, qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen
- 6. Intended Use: Status First" Strep A is an immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen directly from throat swab specimens to aid in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection.
- 7. Substantial Equivalence: The Status First" Strep A test is substantially equivalent in intended use, principle and performance to the current BioSign Strep A test. Both assays are in vitro immunochromatographic assays with an intended use as an aid in the early diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection.

There is no formulation change associated with the BioSign Strep A labeling change. The two products are identical and use the same manufacturing processes. Only the sample extraction step is different in the package insert.

Conclusion: The device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, k971349.

Dear Dr. Kang:

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).
