Intended Use
The Randox Laboratories Limited Uric Acid Test Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of uric acid in serum. The method used is based on UV detection. Uric acid, which absorbs light at 293nm, is converted by uricase to allantoin, which is nonabsorbing at 293nm. The change in absorbance at 293nm due to the disappearance of uric acid is indirectly proportional to the concentration of uric acid in the sample and is measured using a bichromatic (293, 700nm) end-point technique. Uric acid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders including renal failure, gout, leukemia, psoriasis, starvation or other wasting conditions and of patients receiving cytotoxic drugs. This application sheet has been developed for the Dade Dimension Clinical Chemistry Analyser and must be used by suitably qualified laboratory personnel under appropriate clinical laboratory conditions.

No
The description details a standard in vitro diagnostic assay based on enzymatic reaction and UV spectrophotometry, with no mention of AI or ML components.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent used for the quantitative determination of uric acid in serum to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions; it does not provide therapy itself.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "Uric acid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders." This indicates that the device (test kit) provides information used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit, which is a chemical product used in laboratory testing, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states, "The Randox Laboratories Limited Uric Acid Test Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of uric acid in serum." It also describes how the measurements are used in the "diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders."
  • Device Description: The description reiterates that it is an "in vitro diagnostic reagent."
  • Method: The method involves analyzing a sample (serum) in vitro (outside the body) to obtain diagnostic information.

The definition of an IVD is a medical device that is used to examine specimens, such as blood, tissue, or urine, taken from the human body to help detect infections, diagnose a medical condition, prevent disease, or monitor drug therapies. This device clearly fits that definition.

§ 862.1775 Uric acid test system.

(a)
Identification. A uric acid test system is a device intended to measure uric acid in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders, including renal failure, gout, leukemia, psoriasis, starvation or other wasting conditions, and of patients receiving cytotoxic drugs.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device, when it is solely intended for use as an acid reduction of ferric ion test, a phosphotungstate reduction test, a gasometric uricase test, an ultraviolet uricase test, or an oxygen rate uricase test, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

Dear Dr. Armstrong:

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.
