Intended Use
Valproic Acid (VPA) Reagent, in conjunction with the SYNCHRON® Systems Drug Calibrator 1 set, is intended for the quantitative determination of valproic acid concentration in human serum or plasma on SYNCHRON Systems. Valproic Acid is an anticonvulsant drug. It is indicated for the treatment of absence (petite mal), generalized tonic-clinic and myoclonic seizures. Valproic Acid therapy is monitored for suspected inadequate dose or toxicity. Valproic Acid Reagent is used to measure the valproic acid concentration by a particle enhanced turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay method.
Device Description
The SYNCHRON Systems VPA Reagent is designed for optimal performance on the SYNCHRON CX (CX4/4CE/4A/4PRO. CX5/5CE/5A/5PRO, CX7/7RTS/7Δ/7PRO, CX9ALX/9PRO) and SYNCHRON LX (LX20/PRO/LXi) Systems. The reagent kit contains two 100-test cartridges, and is packaged separately from the associated calibrators.

No
The document describes a reagent kit for measuring valproic acid concentration using a turbidimetric immunoassay method on specific laboratory systems. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance summary.

No.
The device is a reagent used for the quantitative determination of valproic acid concentration in human serum or plasma to monitor drug levels, not to provide therapy itself.

Yes

The device is intended for the "quantitative determination of valproic acid concentration in human serum or plasma," which provides information used to monitor drug therapy for suspected inadequate dose or toxicity, thus aiding in diagnosis or treatment decisions.

No

The device is a reagent kit intended for use with specific hardware systems (SYNCHRON Systems). It is a chemical component used in a laboratory test, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of valproic acid concentration in human serum or plasma." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (in vitro) to diagnose or monitor a medical condition (valproic acid levels for therapeutic drug monitoring).
  • Method: The description mentions a "particle enhanced turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay method," which is a laboratory technique used to analyze biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is a "reagent kit" designed for use on "SYNCHRON Systems," which are laboratory analyzers.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed is also a "SYNCHRON Systems VPA Reagent," further indicating its nature as a diagnostic reagent.

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.
