The description details a standard ELISA immunoassay kit and its performance characteristics. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for data analysis, interpretation, or any other function of the device. The results are read visually or with a standard ELISA reader, which does not inherently involve AI/ML.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay kit used to detect Cryptosporidium antigen in human feces, not to treat a condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that this is an "in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay."
No
The device is a physical in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit that uses a microwell ELISA assay, which involves chemical reactions and physical components, not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
The document explicitly states this multiple times in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections:
- "This microwell enzyme linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA) detection kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay..."
- "This IVD assay is intended to be used..."
- "This microwell enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA) detection kit (Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit) is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay..."
- "Rather, this IVD Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit is intended to be used..."
The description clearly defines it as a test performed outside of the body (in vitro) to diagnose a condition (detection of Cryptosporidium antigen) using a biological sample (human feces).

Device Description
This microwell enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA) detection kit (Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit) is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay for the detection of antigen to Cryptosporidium species in human feces using peroxidase as the indicator enzyme. The assay may be read visually or with an ELISA reader. Concentrated fecal samples cannot be used with this immunoassay. Rather, this IVD Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit is intended to be used with human stools that are fresh, frozen or preserved in 10% formalin, SAF or Medical Chemical Corporation's (MCC's) Universal fixative in a clinical laboratory use setting.
This ELISA is an in vitro immunoassay for the qualitative determination of Cryptosporidium species antigen in feces. The ELISA uses a rabbit anti-Cryptosporidium antibody to capture the antigen from the stool supernatant. A second goat anti-Cryptosporidium antibody is then added which sandwiches the captured antigen. This reaction is visualized by the addition of an anti-second antibody conjugated to peroxidase and the chromogen tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The resulting blue color development indicates the presence of Cryptosporidium species antigens being bound by the anti-Cryptosporidium antibodies.

§ 866.3220
Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies toEntamoeba histolytica in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identifyEntamoeba histolytica directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of amebiasis caused by the microscopic protozoan parasiteEntamoeba histolytica and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by this parasite. The parasite may invade the skin, liver, intestines, lungs, and diaphragm, causing disease conditions such as indolent ulcers, an amebic hepatitis, amebic dysentery, and pulmonary lesions.(b)
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 § 866.9.

Common name: Cryptosporidium Human Fecal Antigen Detection Microwell ELISA Kit
Proprietary name: IVD Research's Cryptosporidium Human Fecal Antigen Detection Microwell ELISA Kit
Classification name: Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents
Predicate Device: LMD Laboratories' Cryptosporidium Antigen Detection ELISA, 510(k) K955345
DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE:
This microwell enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA) detection kit (Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit) is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay for the detection of antigen to Cryptosporidium species in human feces using peroxidase as the indicator enzyme. The assay may be read visually or with an ELISA reader. Concentrated fecal samples cannot be used with this immunoassay. Rather, this IVD Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit is intended to be used with human stools that are fresh, frozen or preserved in 10% formalin, SAF or Medical Chemical Corporation's (MCC's) Universal fixative in a clinical laboratory use setting.
This ELISA corresponds to FDA Classification Name: Entamoeba Histolytica Serological Reagent, a class II (non-exempt) Device, within the Microbiology Classification Panel, having FDA Reg. Citation Number: 21 CFR 866.3220, and FDA Product Codes: MHJ.
This ELISA is an in vitro immunoassay for the qualitative determination of Cryptosporidium species antigen in feces. The ELISA uses a rabbit anti-Cryptosporidium antibody to capture the antigen from the stool supernatant. A second goat anti-Cryptosporidium antibody is then added which sandwiches the captured antigen. This reaction is visualized by the addition of an anti-second antibody conjugated to peroxidase and the chromogen tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The resulting blue color development indicates the presence of Cryptosporidium species antigens being bound by the anti-Cryptosporidium antibodies.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON
A similar ELISA kit was developed and manufactured by LMD Laboratories (San Diego, CA). The FDA cleared this assay under 510(k) K955345 in 7 June 1996. This current kit uses the same methodology (ELISA) and similar reagents as that cleared predicate assay.
Following is the data that shows this firm's ELISA provides substantial equivalence to the gold standard for parasitology (O&P microscopy) as well as the predicate device. The 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was determined using a Confidence Interval Analysis Microcomputer Program published by the British Medical Journal.
All specimens are human samples supplied by clinical laboratories or in-house collections.

Study #2 (Manufacturer Performed)
A total of 44 fresh or fresh/frozen stools examined by O&P microscopy and/or another commercial ELISA were tested against this IVD ELISA. The following results were obtained.
| ELISA | ELISA | |
|---|---|---|
| IVD | ||
| ELISA + | 14 | 0 |
| IVD | ||
| ELISA - | 0 | 30 |
Positive Agreement = 100% (14/14) Negative Agreement = 100% (30/30)
The breakdown for the samples in the studies is as follows:
| Media | Cryptosporidium + | Other Parasites |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh/Frozen | 14 | 0 |
| 10% Formalin | 24 | 25 |
| SAF | 1 | 83 |
| MCC | 2* | 31 |
*These two samples were seeded samples.
Analytical Sensitivity
This assay can detect approximately 50 nanograms of soluble protein per ml of Cryptosporidium species antigen or 10 oocysts per well. At these detection levels, an OD range of 0.15 to 0.30 can be expected.
CONCLUSION
IVD Research's Cryptosporidium Human Fecal Antigen Detection Microwell ELISA Kit uses similar methodology to the predicate device. In testing of various fecal specimens, the assay also showed equivalent sensitivity and specificity to the predicate device and O&P microscopy.
