More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard in vitro diagnostic Western blot assay kit, which relies on biochemical reactions and visual interpretation, not AI/ML algorithms. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis beyond standard laboratory procedures.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used to detect antibodies for diagnostic purposes, not to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is an in vitro qualitative assay for the detection of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum, intended for use in testing samples that have been found positive or equivocal by other methods, which directly aids in the diagnosis of Borrelia burgdorferi infection (Lyme disease).

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Test Kit" composed of "reagents, controls and test strips," which are physical components, not software.

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 kit is an "in vitro qualitative assay for the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum." The term "in vitro" means "in glass" or "in the lab," referring to tests performed outside of the living organism.
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" also reiterates that it is an "in vitro qualitative assay" and describes it as being composed of reagents, controls, and test strips for use in testing human serum samples.
  • Testing of Human Samples: The device is designed to test human serum samples, which is a key characteristic of IVDs used for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, based on the provided text, the Boston Biomedica, Inc. (BBI) Borrelia burgdorferi IgM and IgG Western Blot Kit clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Boston Biomedica, Inc. (BBI) Borrelia burgdorferi IgM and IgG Western Blot Kit is an in vitro qualitative assay for the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. It is intended for use in testing human serum samples that have been found positive or equivocal using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or immunofluorescence assay (IFA) test procedure for B. burgdorferi antibodies. Positive results from this Western blot assay are supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The BBI B. burgdorferi IgM and IgG Western Blot Test Kit was evaluated using samples from patients who were culture-positive for B. burgdorferi, samples that had tested IgG EIA positive, the CDC Lyme panel, a commercially available panel of Lyme positive samples (PTL202), serum samples from random blood donors from Lyme endemic and non-endemic regions, and with samples from patients with ten other infectious diseases and conditions such as syphilis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The applicant device performance was compared with that of the predicate device for culture-positive samples, EIA positive samples, and PTL202.

§ 866.3830

Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents.(a)
Identification. Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), theTreponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies toTreponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genusTreponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Dr. Garrett:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
