Intended Use
The HYDRAGEL 3 CSF ISOFOCUSING and HYDRAGEL 9 CSF ISOFOCUSING kits are designed for the qualitative detection of oligoclonal bands in the electrophoretic patterns of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and confirmation of their immunoglobulin character. The use of anti-IgG antisera permits to prove or disprove the "true" IgG character of oligoclonal banding. Visual, comparative interpretation of immunofixation patterns of IgG in high resolution isoelectric separations of CSF and serum proteins from the same patient allows detection of oligoclonal banding that represents intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins. The HYDRAGEL 3 CSF ISOFOCUSING and HYDRAGEL 9 CSF ISOFOCUSING kits are indicated when certain diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as multiple sclerosis, are suspected and the detection of oligoclonal banding and inflammatory processes (intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins) can aid to the diagnosis. The use of enzyme labeled antibodies increases the sensitivity of detection so that the analysis can be generally performed on unconcentrated CSF. The only difference between the 3 CSF and 6 CSF kits is in the intended number of samples per gel: 3 and 9 CSF/serum sample pairs, respectively.

The description focuses on a laboratory kit for electrophoretic analysis and visual interpretation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
This device is for the qualitative detection of oligoclonal bands in CSF to aid in diagnosis, not for treating any condition.

Yes

The device is designed for the qualitative detection of oligoclonal bands in CSF and confirmation of their immunoglobulin character, specifically aiding in the diagnosis of CNS diseases like multiple sclerosis. This directly relates to identifying a health condition.

No

The device description is not found, but the intended use describes "kits" and "electrophoretic patterns," which strongly suggests a physical laboratory test kit and not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the kits are designed for the "qualitative detection of oligoclonal bands in the electrophoretic patterns of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)" and "confirmation of their immunoglobulin character." This involves testing a sample (CSF and serum) taken from the human body.
  • Purpose: The kits are used to "aid to the diagnosis" of certain diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis, by detecting "oligoclonal banding and inflammatory processes (intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins)." This directly relates to providing information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Sample Type: The device analyzes "cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum proteins," which are biological samples from the human body.

These characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

§ 866.5510 Immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, and E immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, and E immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, an E (serum antibodies) in serum. Measurement of these immunoglobulins aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Dr. Janik:

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.
