System, Colorectal Neoplasia, Dna Methylation And Hemoglobin Detection

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
The colorectal neoplasia DNA methylation and hemoglobin detection system is a qualitative, non-invasive device used to screen for the detection of methylation of specific DNA markers associated with colorectal cancer and for the presence of occult hemoglobin in human specimens, including stool, blood, urine, and buccal swabs. It is intended as an aid in the detection of colorectal cancer or advanced adenomas in conjunction with diagnostic colonoscopy. It is indicated for use in adults 50 years or older, who are typical average-risk candidates for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
Physical State
The device may be intended for manual or automated assay preparation. It may include specimen collection and preparation kits or reagents, and may utilize an algorithm for result determination.
Technical Method
The test uses bisulfite conversion of methylated DNA and polymerase chain reaction to detect methylation of specific DNA markers, and enzymatic detection is used to detect occult hemoglobin.
Target Area

No Linked CFR Text

The FDA has not linked product code PHP 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.
