Intended Use
Elecsys RBC Folate Hemolyzing Reagent is used together with the Elecsys Folate II assay for the quantitative determination of folate in erythrocytes (RBC folate). Binding assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of folate in human serum. Measurements obtained by this devices are used in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias. The binding assay is intended for use on the Roche Elecsys 2010 and MODULAR ANALYTICS E170 (Elecsys module) immunoassay analyzers.
Device Description
The Elecsys RBC Folate Hemolyzing Reagent is an ascorbic acid solution with which whole blood treated with anticoagulants (heparin or EDTA) is diluted. After incubation the erythrocytes are lysed and intracellular folate is liberated and stabilized. The hemolysate is then used as a prediluted sample for subsequent measurement in the Elecsys Folate II assay.
More Information

No
The summary describes a chemical reagent and an immunoassay analyzer for quantitative determination of folate. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section.

No.
The device is used for the quantitative determination of folate in erythrocytes and human serum, which aids in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias, but it does not directly treat a condition or deliver therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Measurements obtained by this devices are used in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reagent" and an "ascorbic acid solution," which are physical components, not software. It is used in conjunction with immunoassay analyzers, which are also hardware.

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 device is used for the "quantitative determination of folate in erythrocytes (RBC folate)" and that "Measurements obtained by this devices are used in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias." This clearly indicates that the device is intended for use in vitro (outside the body) to analyze a human sample (blood) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details how the reagent is used to prepare a blood sample for analysis, further supporting its role in an in vitro diagnostic process.
  • Binding Assay: The mention of a "Binding assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of folate in human serum" also points to an in vitro diagnostic method.
  • Predicate Device: The listed predicate device is also an "Elecsys Red Blood Cell Folate Lysing Reagent," which is consistent with an IVD product.
