Intended Use

The KRONUS Blocking AChRAb RIA Assay Kit is for the semi-quantitative determination of blocking antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor in human serum. The KRONUS Blocking AChRAb Assay is useful as an aid in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG).

Device Story

The KRONUS Blocking AChRAb RIA Assay Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test used to detect blocking autoantibodies to the acetylcholine receptor in human serum samples. The device utilizes a radioimmunoassay (RIA) principle to measure the presence of these antibodies, which are associated with myasthenia gravis. The assay is performed in a clinical laboratory setting by trained laboratory personnel. The output is a semi-quantitative measurement of antibody levels, which is interpreted by a physician to assist in the clinical diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. The test provides diagnostic information that helps clinicians confirm the presence of the disease, thereby guiding appropriate therapeutic management for the patient.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided in the document; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit for detection of acetylcholine receptor blocking antibodies. In vitro diagnostic test system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for semi-quantitative determination of blocking acetylcholine receptor antibodies in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).
