No
The summary describes a laboratory assay kit for measuring antibodies, which is a standard biochemical test and does not mention any AI/ML components or image processing.

No
The device is an assay kit used for diagnosis by measuring antibodies in human serum, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "useful as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis," which directly indicates its role as a diagnostic device.

No

The device is described as an "Assay Kit" for determining antibodies in human serum, which strongly implies a physical kit with reagents and potentially hardware components for laboratory testing, not a software-only device.

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

The intended use statement explicitly states that the kit is for the "quantitative or qualitative determination of acetylcholine receptor antibody in human serum." This indicates that the device is used to test a sample taken from the human body (serum) outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information about a medical condition (as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis). This aligns directly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.5660 Multiple autoantibodies immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Ms Viele:

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 the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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 Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
