Calcium Procedure, Tekpoint Direct
by Icn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 510(k)
Active
510(k) K770449
Overview
The Calcium Procedure, Tekpoint Direct is a chemical reagent system classified under Clinical Chemistry, designed for the quantitative determination of calcium levels in serum or plasma samples. It employs the cresolphthalein complexone method, a colorimetric assay that measures calcium concentration by forming a colored complex with the reagent, enabling precise analytical results in laboratory settings.
This device is supplied as a ready-to-use reagent system and is intended for single-use in clinical chemistry laboratories. It is not sterile and is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulations, with a 510(k) clearance (K770449) granted in 1977. Storage conditions and specific lot sizes are not detailed in the regulatory data, but compliance with standard laboratory reagent handling protocols is implied. The device is regulated under FDA regulation number 862.1145 and falls under the product code CIC.
