The MINICAP IMMUNOTYPING kit is designed for the detection and the characterization of monoclonal proteins (immunotyping) in human serum with the MINICAP System, SEBIA, for capillary electrophoresis. It is used in conjunction with the MINICAP PROTEIN(E) 6 kit, SEBIA, designed for proteins separation into 6 major fractions in alkaline buffer (pH 9.9).
The MINICAP performs all procedural sequences automatically to obtain a protein profile for qualitative analysis. Each serum sample is mixed with individual antisera that are specific against gamma (lg G), aipha (Iq A) and mu (Ig M) heavy chains, and kappa and lambda (free and bound) light chains, respectively. The proteins, separated in silica capillaries, are directly detected by their absorbance at 200 nm. The electrophoregrams are evaluated visually to detect the presence of specific reactions with the suspected monoclonal proteins.
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification approval letter for the "Minicap Immunotyping" device. It outlines the regulatory approval process and states that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or clinical study designs (MRMC, standalone).
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them based on the provided text. The document is strictly a regulatory approval letter and not a study report.
§ 866.5510 Immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, and E immunological test system.
(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)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
