OZZ Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code OZZ Bordetella Pertussis Dna Assay System
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.3980
Definition A Qualitative In Vitro Diagnostic Assay Intended To Detect Bordetella Pertussis Dna Extracted From Human Respiratory Specimens. Detection Of Bordetella Pertussis Dna Aids In The Diagnosis Of Bordetella Pertussis Respiratory Infection In Conjunction With Other Clinical And Laboratory Testing In Patients Exhibiting Signs And Symptoms Of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.
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.
