QEP Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code QEP Nucleic Acid Detection System For Non-viral Microorganism(s) Causing Sexually Transmitted Infections
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.3393
Definition A Device To Detect Nucleic Acids From Non-viral Microorganism(s) Causing Sexually Transmitted Infections Is An In Vitro Diagnostic Device Intended For The Detection And Identification Of Nucleic Acids From Non-viral Microorganism(s) In Clinical Specimens Collected From Patients Suspected Of Sexually Transmitted Infections. The Device Is Intended To Aid In The Diagnosis Of Non-viral Sexually Transmitted Infections In Conjunction With Other Clinical And Laboratory Data.
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.
