Intended Use
The Hyperion VisiQuant™ ANA Test Kit is intended for the visual determination of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA's) immunofluorescence pattern(s) and the semiquantitative measurement of ANA's in human serum with a single dilution as an aid in the invitro diagnosis of auto-immune and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjogren Syndrome.
Device Description
VisiQuant™ ANA is a unique ANA IFA. The test samples are assayed with a single dilution as in the traditional qualitative procedure to determine positive and pattern while obtaining a VisiQuant titer from the same image. The stained slides are read objectively with a digital camera through the FAN microscope to measure the fluorescence intensity of reacted substrate (Hip-2 calls). The Visiguant tive of the test sample is interpolated from a standard curve. VisiQuant ANA uses a unique fluorophore, La Jolla Blue (LJB), which has a longer fluorescence life (photostability) than fluorescent. LJJP has nearinfrared peak excitation and emission wavelengths to minimize autofluoresconce commonly present in biological substances.
More Information

No
The description mentions image processing and calculation of fluorescence intensity based on pixel brightness, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks, training data, or complex pattern recognition beyond simple intensity measurement.

No
The device is described as an "in vitro diagnostic" device, specifically for the visual determination and semiquantitative measurement of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA's) to aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune and connective tissue diseases. It is not used for treating or preventing diseases.

Yes

The device is intended for the visual determination of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA's) immunofluorescence pattern(s) and the semiquantitative measurement of ANA's in human serum as an aid in the in vitro diagnosis of auto-immune and connective tissue diseases. This clearly indicates its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "digital camera through the FAN microscope" and "stained slides," indicating hardware components are integral to the device's function. While software is used for image processing and calculation, it is not a standalone software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for the visual determination of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA's) immunofluorescence pattern(s) and the semiquantitative measurement of ANA's in human serum... as an aid in the invitro diagnosis of auto-immune and connective tissue diseases". The phrase "in vitro diagnosis" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Sample Type: The device uses "human serum", which is a biological sample taken from the human body.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to detect and measure specific substances (ANA's) in the sample to aid in the diagnosis of diseases. This is the core function of an IVD.

Device Description

The proposed Hyperion VisiQuant™ ANA Test Kit is substantially equivalent to the BION Antinuelear Antibody (ANA) Test Kit/Control manufactured by BION Ent. I.d., previously cleared under Documnti control No., K872845, on 01/17/87. The proposed and the predicate device are in-viro diagnosic products, intended for use to determine the antinuelear antibody in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune diseases by utilizing the indirect fluorescent antibody technique (FFA),

The proposed Hyperion VisiQuant™ ANA Test Kit differs from the BION Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Test KirControl in the configuration of the individual components included in their respective kists. They also differ in the way the read. The BION slides are serially diluted and visually read to determine the titer. The VisiQuant™ ANA slides are read off a standard corve to provided and visually titer,

VisiQuant ANA uses a unique fluorophore, La Jolla Blue (LJB), which has a longer fluorescence life (photostability) than fluorescent. LJJP has nearinfrared peak excitation and emission wavelengths to minimize autofluoresconce commonly present in biological substances.

The antigen of the ANA substrate is a human cpithelial cell (HEp-2) which are cultured and fixed in wells of a glass slide. Diluted test serum samples are placed in the wells and incubated and incubated. In ANA arc present, they will bind with the antigens expressed by the cells. A fter washing the wells 11 renove unbound antigen, the conjugate (La Jolla Blue labeled goat antibody to human InG) is add and incubated. The conjugate will bind immunologically to the bound ANA on the HEP-2 cell antigens. After another washing of the wells to remove unbound conjugate, the wells are read with a microscope equipped with a digital camera and computer to obtain the immununofluorescence image for the determination of the absence (negative) or presence (positive) of ANA patteres) as in the commonly used qualitative (screen) procedure for ANA IFA.

For the positive sample, a VisiQuant tiler may be obtained by saving the image to a tagged image file format (TTF) file for processing by the VisiQuant software. The sollware calculates a fluorescence intensity unit (FIU) value. The FIU is calculated by measuring the average thrightness of the image from the canera. It then calculates the mean brightness of the picture elements (preditioss on two groups, one and of the love the more below. The difference between the two group mean values is reported as the FIU value. The FIUs and ANA titers of Calibrators assayed in the same run are used to build a standard curve, from which the VisiQuant titer of the test sample is interpolated.

Borderline reactivity accounts for 7 discrepancies as detailed below. Six (6) showed titers of 40 by the Bion ANA but negative by VisiQuant ANA test; one (1) was negative by the Bion ANA but positive low titer of 175 by the VisiQuant ANA test. Slight differences in assay detection and in reading could account for these discrepancies. Some normal subjects may demonstally tow level ANA's which are clinically insignificant,

Table 4. Titration of 11 serum samples with VisiQuant ANA. Because VisiQuant titer values could be underestimated for some test samples with contromere, nucledian or some speckled patterns, nine (9) such samples were titrated by the traditions, 2-fold serial dilution and assayed with the VisiQuant ANA. The results as summarized below revealed the equivalence of VisiQuant ANA titers from titration with Bion's IFA ANA titers. Two high positive controls (items 10 and 11) were included in the experiment.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
