Intended Use
The Access BR Monitor assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of CA 15-3 antigen levels in human serum and plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems. This device is indicated for use in the measurement of CA 15-3 antigen to aid in the management of breast cancer patients. Serial testing for patient CA 15-3 antigen concentrations should be used in conjunction with other clinical methods for monitoring breast cancer.
Device Description
The Access BR Monitor reagents, calibrators, and the Access Immunoassay Analyzers (Access, Access 2, Synchron LXi 725, and UniCel Dxl 800) comprise the Access Immunoassay Systems for the quantitative determination of CA 15-3 antigen in human serum and plasma.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay system for measuring a specific antigen. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The analysis focuses on analytical and clinical performance metrics typical of laboratory diagnostic tests.

No.
The device is an immunoassay for measuring CA 15-3 antigen levels to aid in the management of breast cancer patients by monitoring, not for direct therapy.

Yes
The device is described as a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of CA 15-3 antigen levels, "indicated for use in the measurement of CA 15-3 antigen to aid in the management of breast cancer patients." This clearly states its role in diagnosis/management.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system comprises reagents, calibrators, and immunoassay analyzers (hardware). This is not a software-only device.

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

The Intended Use section explicitly states that the device is for the quantitative determination of CA 15-3 antigen levels in human serum and plasma. This is a classic definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, as it is used to test samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.

Furthermore, the Device Description mentions "reagents, calibrators, and the Access Immunoassay Analyzers," which are components typically associated with IVD systems used for laboratory testing.

Summary of Performance Studies

Summary of Analytical Studies:
Imprecision: Within-run assay imprecision was tested for concentrations from approximately 15 to 662 U/mL. The within-run imprecision ranged from 1.4% CV to 2.2% CV. Between-run assav imprecision ranged from 1.6% CV to 4.1% CV. Total imprecision ranged from 2.1% CV to 4.6% CV.
Analytical Sensitivity: The lowest detectable level of CA 15-3 antigen distinquishable from zero (Access BR Monitor Calibrator 0) is

§ 866.6010 Tumor-associated antigen immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A tumor-associated antigen immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to qualitatively or quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, tumor-associated antigens in serum, plasma, urine, or other body fluids. This device is intended as an aid in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy or for the detection of recurrent or residual disease.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Tumor markers must comply with the following special controls: (1) A guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for the Submission of Tumor Associated Antigen Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) to FDA,” and (2) voluntary assay performance standards issued by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards.
