No
The summary describes a radio receptor assay for detecting antibodies, which is a standard laboratory technique and does not mention any AI/ML components or related concepts like image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models.

No
The device is described as an "in-vitro diagnostic semi-quantitative determination of autoantibodies," indicating it is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the assay is for "in-vitro diagnostic semi-quantitative determination" and is "useful as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis (MG)." This directly indicates its use for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device is an in-vitro diagnostic assay kit, which is a physical product used to test biological samples. It is not described as software.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states:

"The IBL Acetylcholine Receptor Antibody (ARAb) Radio Receptor Assay is for the in-vitro diagnostic semi-quantitative determination of autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor in human serum and plasma."

This statement clearly identifies the device as being used for diagnostic purposes outside of the body (in vitro), which is the definition of an IVD.

§ 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).

Trade/Device Name: IBL ARAb RRA Test Kit Regulation Number: 21 CFR 866.5660 Regulation Name: Multiple autoantibodies immunological test system Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: NST Dated: April 22, 2005 Received: May 6, 2005

Dear Mr. Lehnus:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
