Intended Use
Medicon Ferritin - LATEX reagent is for the determination of Ferritin in human serum and plasma using automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The measurement of ferritin may aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron metabolism. For in vitro diagnostic use.
Device Description
The Ferritin – LATEX is an immunoturbidimetric assay. When serum or plasma specimen is mixed with the appropriate buffer (R1) and latex particles coated with anti-ferritin antibodies (R2), ferritin reacts with the antibodies leading to agglutination of latex particles. This agglutination is detected as turbidity change (600 nm) and it is proportional to ferritin concentration in the sample.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a standard immunoturbidimetric assay for measuring ferritin, which relies on chemical reactions and optical detection, not AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML in the provided text.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagent used for the determination of Ferritin in human serum and plasma, which aids in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron metabolism. It does not provide any therapeutic benefit or treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The measurement of ferritin may aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron metabolism" and "For in vitro diagnostic use."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reagent" and an "immunoturbidimetric assay" involving "latex particles coated with anti-ferritin antibodies," which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "For in vitro diagnostic use."
  • Purpose: The device is intended for the "determination of Ferritin in human serum and plasma." This is a test performed on biological samples taken from the body, which is a key characteristic of an IVD.
  • Clinical Application: The measurement of ferritin is stated to "aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron metabolism." This indicates the results are used for clinical purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details an "immunoturbidimetric assay" that reacts with components in the sample (ferritin in serum or plasma) to produce a measurable result. This is a typical mechanism for an IVD.

Dear Mr. Lchtonen:

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 a legally

marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0484. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
