Overview

AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Turbox Fibrinogen is a System, Fibrinogen Determination device, classified under FDA product code KQJ. It is designed for the quantitative measurement of fibrinogen levels in blood, a critical component of coagulation studies in hematology. This device aids in diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to bleeding disorders or thromboembolic risks by providing precise fibrinogen concentration readings.

The Turbox Fibrinogen is supplied as a reusable diagnostic system intended for use in clinical hematology laboratories. It operates under sterile conditions when in use, though the device itself may not be single-use. The system adheres to FDA clearance (510K, K884179) and falls under FDA Class II regulation (21 CFR 864.7340). Storage and handling follow standard laboratory protocols for coagulation analyzers, with no specific MRI safety considerations noted in the regulatory data.

Questions

AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What clinical conditions can the Turbox Fibrinogen help diagnose or monitor, and how does it do this?

    The Turbox Fibrinogen is designed for quantitative measurement of fibrinogen levels in blood, which is essential for diagnosing and monitoring bleeding disorders or conditions involving thromboembolic risks. By providing precise fibrinogen concentration readings, it supports clinical decisions related to coagulation studies in hematology, helping assess a patient’s risk for abnormal bleeding or clotting.

  • Is the Turbox Fibrinogen a single-use device, or can it be reused in a clinical setting?

    The Turbox Fibrinogen is explicitly described as a reusable diagnostic system for clinical hematology laboratories. While the device itself is not single-use, it operates under sterile conditions during use, adhering to standard laboratory protocols for coagulation analyzers.

  • What storage and handling requirements should be followed for the Turbox Fibrinogen?

    The Turbox Fibrinogen follows standard laboratory protocols for coagulation analyzers, though no specific storage instructions are detailed in the regulatory data. It is important to maintain the device in a clean, controlled environment to ensure accurate and reliable fibrinogen measurements, as with any reusable diagnostic system.

  • What regulatory pathway was followed for the Turbox Fibrinogen’s clearance, and which advisory committee was involved?

    The Turbox Fibrinogen received FDA clearance through a Traditional 510(k) pathway (K884179) and was reviewed by the Hematology (HE) Advisory Committee. The decision was based on substantial equivalence (SESE) to a predicate device, placing it under FDA Class II regulation (21 CFR 864.7340).
