Device Classification

Product Code OMG Antisera, Fluorescent, Human Metapneumovirus
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.3980
Definition It Is Intended For The Qualitative Detection And Identification Of Human Metapneumovirus (hmpv) In Direct Respiratory Specimens Or Cell Culture. The Assay Detects Hmpv Antigens By Immunofluorescence Using Antibodies, From Patients With Signs And Symptoms Of Acute Respiratory Infection. This Assay Detects But Is Not Intended To Differentiate The Four Recognized Genetic Sub-lineages Of Hmpv.
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 Microbiology devices follow this clearance model.
