No
The summary describes a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting antibodies. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The performance evaluation is based on direct comparison to a predicate device using standard statistical metrics.

No
The device is for in vitro diagnostic use, detecting antibodies to aid in differentiating active, recent, or past infections. It does not treat or prevent any condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use" and describes the device's purpose for "qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of human IgG antibodies" as "an aid in differentiating active or recent infection, from past infection," which are clear diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells," indicating it is a physical laboratory test kit with reagents and microwells, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "1. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use".
  • Nature of the Test: The device is designed to detect antibodies in human serum, which is a biological sample taken from the body and tested in vitro (outside the body).
  • Purpose of the Test: The test is used as an aid in diagnosing or differentiating between different stages of Epstein-Barr virus infection, which is a diagnostic purpose.
  • Device Description: The description details a "solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells," a common format for in vitro diagnostic tests.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: It states "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only."

All these points strongly indicate that the SeraQuest EB VCA IgG test is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The SeraQuest EB VCA IgG test is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, in three thirty minute incubations. It has been developed to detect IgG antibodies which are directed against Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen, in human serum.

The Calibrators in the SeraQuest EB VCA IgG test set have been assigned Index values based on an in-house standard. Test results are reported as Index values.

Diluted samples are incubated in wells coated with Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen. Antibodies directed against Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen (if present) are immobilized in the wells. Residual sample is eliminated by washing and draining, and conjugate (enzyme-labeled antibodies to human IgG) is added and incubated. If IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen are present, the conjugate will be immobilized in the wells. Residual conjugate is eliminated by washing and draining, and the enzyme substrate is added and incubated. In the presence of the enzyme, the substrate is converted to a yellow end-product which is read photometrically at 405 nm.

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

Summary of Clinical Testing: Of the 113 specimens tested, 61 were positive, and 36 were negative in both the SeraQuest and Zeus' VCA IgG tests. Of the 16 remaining specimens, 13 specimens which were positive by the Zeus' test, eight were negative and five equivocal by the SeraQuest test. One specimen which was equivocal by the Zeus' test, was negative by the SeraQuest test. Two specimens which were negative by the Zeus' test, were positive by the SeraQuest test. Excluding the equivocal results, the performance characteristics of the SeraQuest VCA IgG test (modified device) relative to Zeus' VCA IqG test were as follows. Please see Table 1 below.

Identification. Epstein-Barr virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus infections and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these viruses.

Description

The SeraQuest EB VCA IgG test is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, in three thirty minute incubations. It has been developed to detect IgG antibodies which are directed against Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen, in human serum.

The Calibrators in the SeraQuest EB VCA IgG test set have been assigned Index values based on an in-house standard. Test results are reported as Index values.

Principle

Diluted samples are incubated in wells coated with Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen. Antibodies directed against Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen (if present) are immobilized in the wells. Residual sample is eliminated by washing and draining, and conjugate (enzyme-labeled antibodies to human IgG) is added and incubated. If IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen are present, the conjugate will be immobilized in the wells. Residual conjugate is eliminated by washing and draining, and the enzyme substrate is added and incubated. In the presence of the enzyme, the substrate is converted to a yellow end-product which is read photometrically at 405 nm.
