No
The summary describes a reagent and calibrator for a laboratory instrument, focusing on quantitative determination of a specific protein. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The predicate device is also a reagent, further suggesting a traditional laboratory assay.

No
The device is a reagent and calibrator used for quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is intended for the quantitative determination of Low Concentration Immunoglobulin A (IGALC) in human serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which provides information used for diagnosis or monitoring of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "reagent" and a "calibrator," which are physical substances used in laboratory testing, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of Low Concentration Immunoglobulin A (IGALC) in human serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)". This involves testing biological samples (serum and CSF) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health status.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's for the "quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in serum and cerebrospinal fluid".
  • Method: It uses "rate nephelometry", which is a laboratory technique for measuring the concentration of substances in a fluid.
  • Components: It includes a "reagent" and a "calibrator", which are typical components of IVD test kits.
  • System: It's designed for use with "IMMAGE® Immunochemistry Systems", which are laboratory instruments used for performing diagnostic tests.

All of these characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, and E immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, an E (serum antibodies) in serum. Measurement of these immunoglobulins aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents.(b)

Dear Ms. Hellie:

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.

IMMAGE® Systems Low Concentration Device Name: Immunoglobulin A Reagent

Indications for Use:

INTENDED USE

IGALC reagent, when used in conjunction with IMMAGE® Immunochemistry Systems and Cerebrospinal Fluid Protein Calibrator, is intended for quantitative determination of Low Concentration Immunoglobulin A (IGALC) in human serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by rate nephelometry.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The concentration ratio of immunoglobulins in CSF and serum detects increased permeability of the blood-CSF barrier and intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins. The permeability of the blood-CSF barrier to plasma increases due to brain tumor, intracerebral hemorrhage, meningitis, encephalitis, and bacterial infections. The intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins is important in the diagnosis of diseases of the Central Nervous System (CNS).

Prescription Use (Part 21 CFR 801 Subpart D)

AND/OR

Over-The-Counter Use (21 CFR 807 Subpart C)
