Intended Use
The DSL-10-3200 T4 Enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) Kit provides materials for the quantitative measurement of T4 in serum. This assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease.
Device Story
The DSL 10-3200 ACTIVE™ T4 EIA Kit is an in vitro diagnostic assay for quantitative T4 measurement in human serum. It utilizes a competitive binding protein assay format in microtitration wells. Enzyme-labeled T4 competes with unlabeled T4 in the patient sample for binding sites on an Anti-T4 antibody. Following incubation, plates are washed and decanted to separate bound from free T4. The amount of bound enzyme-labeled T4 is measured via spectrophotometry; absorbance is inversely proportional to the T4 concentration in the sample. The assay is performed in a clinical laboratory setting by trained personnel. Results are used by clinicians to assess thyroid function and guide the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical comparison study performed with 59 patient samples. Samples were selected to cover low, intermediate, and high T4 levels. Comparison between the subject EIA kit and the predicate RIA method showed a correlation coefficient of r = 0.96 and a linear regression equation of Y = 0.72(X) - 0.24.
Technological Characteristics
Competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) format. Components include microtitration wells coated with Anti-T4 antibody and enzyme-labeled T4. Detection via spectrophotometric analysis of absorbance. In vitro diagnostic use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of T4 in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease in patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A total thyroxine test system is a device intended to measure total (free and protein bound) thyroxine (thyroid hormone) in serum and plasma. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Name of Device: DSL 10-3200 ACTIVE™ T4 EIA Kit
Classification Name: Enzymeimmunoassay, T4
Analyte Code and Name: T4
Regulatory Class: II

The DSL ACTIVE™ T4 EIA kit was developed for the quantitative measurement of T4 in human serum. The EIA format is a competitive binding protein assay. Enzyme-labeled T4 competes with un-labeled T4 in the serum sample for binding sites with the Anti-T4 antibody in microtitration wells. Separation of free from bound T4 is achieved by washing and decanting the microtiter plates after incubation. The resultant is analyzed in a spectrophotometer for absorbance. The amount of enzyme-labeled T4 bound to the antibody is inversely proportional to the concentration of the T4 present in the sample.
The DSL ACTIVE™ T4 EIA assay is intended for the quantitative determination of T4 in human serum. The measurement of T4 is used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease.
The DSL ACTIVE™ T4 EIA is substantially equivalent to the DSL ACTIVE™ T4 RIA.
To demonstrate substantial equivalence between the two assays, patient samples (n = 59) were collected and assayed using both methods. Samples were chosen based on expected T4 levels so that samples with low, intermediate and high levels would be evaluated. Linear regression analysis of the results obtained for the comparison gave the equation $Y = 0.72(X) - 0.24$ with a correlation coefficient of $(r) = 0.96$.

Dear Mr. Willis:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770) 488-7655.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
