Intended Use
The MESACUP BP180 or BP230 TEST is a semi-quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of anti BP180 or BP230 antibodies in human serum. The MESACUP TESTS are intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. Patients with Bullous Pemphigoid are known to have either BP180 or BP230 or both types of antibodies in serum. It is recommended that each patient be tested for BP180 and BP230 antibodies.
Device Description
BP means Bullous pemphigoid. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic blistering of the skin. It ranges from mildly itchy welts to severe blisters and infection, and may affect a small area of the body or be widespread. The vast majority of those affected are elderly, but it has been seen at all ages. It is an autoimmune disorder, meaning it is caused when the body's immune system malfunctions. The immune system is meant to defend the body against bacteria, viruses, and disease, but instead produces against healthy tissue, cells and organs. Some patients with BP have other autoimmune diseases such diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Various other factors have been reported to play a role in triggering BP. These include drugs (furosemide, penicillin's), mechanical trauma, and physical traumas (burns from radiation, sun or heat). The BP180 Elisa kit is designed to detect the BP180 protein. The related BP230 Elisa kit is designed to detect the autoantigen BP230, also known as bullous pemphigoid antigen.

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a standard ELISA assay for detecting antibodies, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test intended to aid in the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid by detecting specific antibodies, it does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid."

No

The device is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, which is a laboratory test involving physical reagents and procedures, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states the device is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings." This is a clear statement of its diagnostic purpose and its use outside of a living organism (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device works to detect specific antibodies (anti BP180 or BP230) in human serum, which are markers associated with bullous pemphigoid. This aligns with the function of an IVD, which analyzes biological samples to provide diagnostic information.
  • Sample Type: The device analyzes "human serum," which is a biological sample commonly used in IVD testing.

The information provided strongly indicates that this device is designed and intended for use in a laboratory setting to diagnose a medical condition by analyzing a biological sample, which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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).

Dear Mr. Kamm:

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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Pegister.

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 af 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 Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter
