Intended Use
The Access sTfR assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels in human serum and plasma (heparin) using the Access Immunoassay Systems. This assay is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), and for the differential diagnosis of IDA and Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD). This assay may also be used in conjunction with a ferritin measurement to provide a calculated sTfR/log ferritin index. This index is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of IDA, and for the differential diagnosis of IDA and ACD. The Access sTfR Calibrators are intended to calibrate the Access sTfR assay for the quantitative determination of soluble transferrin receptor levels in human serum and plasma (heparin) using the Access Immunoassay Systems. The Access sTfR QC is intended for monitoring system performance of the Access sTfR assay.
Device Description
The Access sTfR reagent, calibrators, controls, and the Access Immunoassay Analyzers (Access, Access 2, Synchron LXi 725, UniCel DxC 600i, UniCel Dxl 600, and UniCel Dxl 800) comprise the Access Immunoassay Systems for the quantitative determination of soluble transferrin receptor in human serum and plasma. Automated; Paramagnetic particles coated with mouse monoclonal antibody against sTfR. Uses the same mouse monoclonal antibodies against sTfR in the capture phase and signal phase as the predicate device. Utilizes dioxetane-based chemiluminescent substrate; measures light production from a chemiluminescent reaction. Calibrators are comprised of natural sTfR at 6 levels (0, 3, 10, 30, 80, and 150 nmol/L) in a buffered matrix. QCs are human sTfR provided as a liquid at 3 levels (~10, ~25, ~90 nmol/L) in a buffered matrix.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay for measuring sTfR levels and calculating an index. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The technology described is based on paramagnetic particles, chemiluminescence, and standard analytical methods.

No

Explanation: The device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay intended to aid in the diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) and for the differential diagnosis of IDA and Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD). It measures soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels but does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay "is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), and for the differential diagnosis of IDA and Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD)". It also mentions the use of an sTfR/log ferritin index as "an aid in the diagnosis of IDA, and for the differential diagnosis of IDA and ACD." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device comprises reagents, calibrators, controls, and immunoassay analyzers, which are all hardware components. The software is part of the "Access Immunoassay Systems" but is not the sole component.

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 soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels in human serum and plasma" and is "intended as an aid in the diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), and for the differential diagnosis of IDA and Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD)." This clearly indicates it's used to test human samples in vitro to provide information for medical diagnosis.
  • Device Description: The description details the components used to perform the test on human samples (reagent, calibrators, controls, and analyzers).
  • Performance Studies: The document includes summaries of analytical and clinical studies performed on human samples to evaluate the device's performance in a diagnostic context.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (Quantikine® IVD® sTfR ELISA) which is also an IVD further supports this classification.

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

§ 866.5880 Transferrin immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A transferrin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the transferrin (an iron-binding and transporting serum protein) in serum, plasma, and other body fluids. Measurement of transferrin levels aids in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection, and red blood cell disorders, such as iron deficiency anemia.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
