Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization, Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase, Gene Rearrangement

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) kit is to detect rearrangements involving the ALK gene in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue specimens. It is indicated to aid in the selection of patients for treatment with specific FDA approved therapeutic drugs.
Physical State
Probe and accessory assay kits contains pre-treatment solution, ALK dual color break apart probe mix, buffers, counter stain, and fluorescence mounting medium
Technical Method
Fluorescence in situ hybridization.
Target Area
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human non-small cell lung cancer tissue specimen

No Linked CFR Text

The FDA has not linked product code OWE to any particular section of the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). There are multiple reasons why this might be the case:

  • The product code was created for a class III submission that does not follow the normal PMN or PMA path - e.g., for a device that falls under HDE (Humanitarian Device Exemption) or EUA (Emergency Use Authorization).
  • The FDA has generated the product code for an existing Class III device, as a result of a PMA supplement that modifies the device in a way that it can't fit under the existing product code originally assigned
  • The product code was created for internal use at the FDA, and not for classification or regulatory-related purposes.
