Questions
AI-generated answers, 24 Sep 2026
What is the LMD CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ANTIGEN DETECTION device used for?
The LMD CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ANTIGEN DETECTION device is used to detect Cryptosporidium spp. antigen in human stool specimens. It provides qualitative results that assist clinical laboratories in the diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis, a gastrointestinal infection caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium.
What type of specimen is required for the LMD CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ANTIGEN DETECTION test?
The device requires human stool specimens for testing. It is specifically designed to detect Cryptosporidium antigen in these samples, making it suitable for use in clinical microbiology laboratories evaluating patients with suspected parasitic gastrointestinal illness.
Is the LMD CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ANTIGEN DETECTION device a qualitative or quantitative test?
The LMD CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ANTIGEN DETECTION device provides qualitative results, meaning it reports whether Cryptosporidium antigen is present or absent in the specimen, rather than measuring the amount of antigen. This format supports diagnostic decision-making in clinical settings.
What regulatory pathway was used for the LMD CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ANTIGEN DETECTION device?
The device received FDA 510(k) clearance under submission number K955345, indicating it was found substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. This traditional 510(k) pathway is used for moderate-risk Class II medical devices like this assay.
How is the LMD CRYPTOSPORIDIUM ANTIGEN DETECTION device classified by the FDA?
The device is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulation 866.3220, with product code MHJ. This classification reflects its moderate risk level and subjects it to special controls, including performance standards and post-market surveillance, to ensure safety and effectiveness.
