The Randox Laboratories Ltd. Valproic Acid Test Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of valproic acid in serum. The method is a latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay based on the principle of measuring changes in scattered light. inthunotational with valproic acid which, in the presence of valproic acid antibody solution, rapidly agglutinate. When a sample containing valproic acid is introduced the agglutination reaction is partially inhibited, slowing down the agglutination process. The rate of agglutination is inversely dependent on the concentration of valproic acid in the sample. By aggraination the change in scattered light as a change in absorbance, a concentration curve can montoning the onling in absorbance is inversely proportional to the concentration of valbroic acid in the sample. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of valproic acid wse or overdose and in monitoring levels of valproic acid to ensure appropriate therapy.

No
The description details a standard immunoturbidimetric assay based on measuring changes in scattered light, which is a well-established chemical/biological principle and does not involve AI or ML. The text explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test kit used to measure valproic acid levels in serum, which aids in diagnosis and monitoring. It does not directly treat a condition or provide therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of valproic acid use or overdose and in monitoring levels of valproic acid to ensure appropriate therapy." This directly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is described as an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit, which is a physical product containing chemical components for laboratory testing, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states, "The Randox Laboratories Ltd. Valproic Acid Test Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of valproic acid in serum." It also describes how the measurements are used "in the diagnosis and treatment of valproic acid use or overdose and in monitoring levels of valproic acid to ensure appropriate therapy." This clearly indicates its use for diagnostic purposes outside of the living body.
  • Device Description: The description reiterates that it is an "in vitro diagnostic reagent".
  • Method: The method described (latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay) is a common technique used in in vitro diagnostics to measure substances in biological samples.
  • Sample Type: The test is performed on "serum," which is a biological sample taken from a patient.

All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 862.3645 Neuroleptic drugs radioreceptor assay test system.

(a)
Identification. A neuroleptic drugs radioceptor assay test system is a device intended to measure in serum or plasma the dopamine receptor blocking activity of neuroleptic drugs and their active metabolites. A neuroleptic drug has anti-psychotic action affecting principally psychomotor activity, is generally without hypnotic effects, and is a tranquilizer. Measurements obtained by this device are used to aid in determining whether a patient is taking the prescribed dosage level of such drugs.(b)
Classification. Class II.
