Device Classification

Product Code NUA System, Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator, Gene Mutation Detection
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.5900
Definition The Cftr Gene Mutation Detection System Is A Device Used To Simultaneously Detect And Identify A Panel Of Mutations And Variants In The Cftr Gene. It Is Intended As An Aid In Confirmatory Diagnostic Testing Of Individuals With Suspected Cystic Fibrosis (cf), Carrier Identification, And Newborn Screening. This Device Is Not Intended For Stand-alone Diagnostic Purposes, Prenatal Diagnostic, Pre-implantation Or Population Screening.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Pathology devices follow this clearance model.
