Intended Use
The Quantia Lp(a) is intended as a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentration in human serum or plasma (EDTA, Heparin, Citrate) on the Clinical Chemistry Systems. The measurement of Lp(a) is useful in evaluating lipid metabolism disorders and assessing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in specific populations, when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation. Quantia Lp(a) Control is intended for use in monitoring the quality control of results obtained with the Quantia Lp(a) reagents by turbidimetry. Quantia Lp(a) Standard is intended for use in establishing the calibration curve for the Quantia Lp(a) reagents by turbidimetry.

More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard immunoturbidimetric assay for quantitative determination of Lp(a), which is a chemical/biological measurement technique and does not involve AI or ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts in the provided text.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for quantitative determination of lipoprotein(a) for evaluating lipid metabolism disorders and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "The measurement of Lp(a) is useful in evaluating lipid metabolism disorders and assessing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in specific populations, when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation." This indicates that the device provides information for the diagnosis or assessment of medical conditions.

No

The device is described as a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay, which is a laboratory test method involving reagents and physical components, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the Quantia Lp(a) is intended for the "in vitro quantitative determination of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentration in human serum or plasma". The term "in vitro" means "in glass" or "outside the body," which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
  • Sample Type: The device analyzes human serum or plasma, which are biological specimens taken from the body.
  • Purpose: The measurement of Lp(a) is used to evaluate lipid metabolism disorders and assess atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, which are medical conditions. This indicates the device is used for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" reiterates the intended use and the analysis of human serum or plasma.
  • Control and Standard: The inclusion of a control and standard is typical for IVD assays to ensure accuracy and reliability of the results.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe method comparison and precision, which are standard evaluations for IVD devices.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (N-latex Lp(a)) with a K number (K013128) indicates that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD.

All of these factors strongly indicate that the Quantia Lp(a) is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

In a method comparison study evaluating 104 samples with Lp(a) levels ranging from 2.4 to 188 mg/dL on the Abbott AEROSET® instrument, the slope was 1.121 and the correlation coefficient (r) was 0.9754 for Quantia Lp(a) versus the predicate device.

Within run precision was assessed over multiple runs using three different levels of control: (Quantia Lp(a) controls I and II and a mixture of control I and control II) on an Abbott Aeroset. The precision assessed gave a CV of 2.3% (at a mean of 16.1 mg/dL) and 0.9% (at a mean of 57.9 mg/dL). The third control (control II) gave a CV of 1.5 % (at a mean of 38.1 mg/dL).

§ 866.5600 Low-density lipoprotein immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A low-density lipoprotein immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the low-density lipoprotein in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of low-density lipoprotein in serum may aid in the diagnosis of disorders of lipid (fat) metabolism and help to identify young persons at risk from cardiovascular diseases.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Ms. Guixer:

Re:

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.
