No
The summary describes a standard ELISA-based immunoassay kit for detecting antibodies. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis beyond standard data processing for calculating results from optical density readings.
No
The device is described as an aid in diagnosis, not a device for therapy or treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assays are "an aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease."
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components such as microtiter plates, assay controls, calibrators, conjugates, diluents, substrates, stop solution, and washing solution, indicating it is a kit containing hardware and reagents, not software only.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the devices are for the "semi-quantitative determination of IgA/IgG antibodies directed against gliadin/deamidated gliadin peptide in human serum." This indicates that the test is performed on a biological sample (human serum) in vitro (outside the body).
- Purpose: The assays are described as an "aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease." This is a diagnostic purpose, which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
- Device Description: The description details a "test kit" containing components like a microtiter plate, controls, calibrators, conjugates, and solutions. These are typical components of an in vitro diagnostic assay.
- Performance Studies: The document includes detailed descriptions of analytical and clinical performance studies, including precision, linearity, specificity, method comparison, and clinical studies with metrics like sensitivity and specificity. This type of testing and reporting is standard for IVD devices to demonstrate their performance characteristics.
- Predicate Device: The mention of predicate devices (K052439, Aeskulisa® Glia A; K052439, Aeskulisa® Glia G) which are also IVDs, further supports that this device falls under the IVD category.

(a)
Identification. A radioallergosorbent immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the allergen antibodies (antibodies which cause an allergic reaction) specific for a given allergen. Measurement of specific allergen antibodies may aid in the diagnosis of asthma, allergies, and other pulmonary disorders.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when intended to detect any of the allergens included in Table 1 in this paragraph, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 866.9.

11.1.2 Linearity/Assay Reportable Range
Linearity was studied using four (4) positive serum samples each for the a-Gliatest® IgA, a-Gliatest® IgG, a-GliaPep® IgA, and a-GliaPep® IgG. Each sample was diluted with a low concentration serum sample at around the limit of detection (LoD), 1.1 AU/mL for a-Gliatest® IgA, 2.4 AU/mL for a-Gliatest® IgG, 1.1 AU/mL for a-GliaPep® IgA , and 1.1 AU/mL for a-GliaPep® IgG, respectively, using a dilution scheme.
The results of one (1) representative sample for a-Gliatest® IgA show a slope of 1.017 (95% C.I. 0.991 to 1.044), Y-intercept of -1.637 (95% C.I. -3.210 to -0.064) and R2 of 0.9988. The results of one (1) representative sample for a-Gliatest® IgG show a slope of 0.997 (95% C.I. 0.931 to 1.064), Y-intercept of 1.857 (95% C.I. -2.182 to 5.896) and R2 of 0.9924. The results of one (1) representative sample for a-GliaPep® IgA show a slope of 1.018 (95% C.I. 0.994 to 1.042), Y-intercept of -1.697 (95% C.I. -3.075 to 0.320) and R2 of 0.9990. The results of one (1) representative sample for a-Gliatest® IgG show a slope of 1.014 (95% C.I. 0.987 to 1.041), Y-intercept of -1.705 (95% C.I. -3.354 to -0.056) and R2 of 0.9988.

The results of the study support the linear range and the claimed assay range of 1.1-100 AU/mL for a-Gliatest® IgA, 2.5-99.4 AU/mL for a-Gliatest® IgG, 1.1-100 AU/mL for a-GliaPep® IgA, and 1.1-100 AU/mL for α-GliaPep® IgG.
11.1.3 Traceability, Stability and Expected Values (Controls and Calibrators)
Traceability
Calibrators are not traceable to any recognized standards. Calibrators are dilutions of pooled sera with anti-gliadin antibody from patients with celiac disease. The new calibrator and control lots are formulated from an array of anti-gliadin antibody positive sera obtained from various commercial plasma centers stored at -70°C. The calibrators and controls are taken from different pooled sera. As new lots of calibrators are developed, studies are performed to calibrate values against original calibrators. Each lot of calibrator is also tested in comparison with normal human sera, clinical samples and internal standards. The concentration values of the calibrators are as follows:
Calibrator | α-Gliatest® IgA | α-Gliatest® IgG |
---|---|---|
Cal S5 | 100 AU/mL | 100 AU/mL |
Cal S4 | 50 AU/mL | 50 AU/mL |
Cal S3 | 20 AU/mL | 20 AU/mL |
Cal S2 | 10 AU/mL | 10 AU/mL |
Cal S1 | 0 AU/mL | 2 AU/mL |
Calibrator | α-GliaPep® IgA | α-GliaPep® IgG |
---|---|---|
Cal S5 | 100 AU/mL | 100 AU/mL |
Cal S4 | 50 AU/mL | 50 AU/mL |
Cal S3 | 20 AU/mL | 20 AU/mL |
Cal S2 | 10 AU/mL | 10 AU/mL |
Cal S1 | 0 AU/mL | 0 AU/mL |
Kit Stability .
Stability studies support the expiration date claims of 12 months at 2-8°C for the α-Gliatest® IgA, α-Gliatest® IgG, α -GliaPep® IgA, and a-GliaPep® IgG.

. Sample Stability
Specimens should be stored at 2-8°C for no longer than five (5) days. For longer storage, serum specimens should be frozen at -20°C. Repeated freezing and thawing of samples should be avoided.

The limits of blank (LoB) and the claimed limits of detection (LoD) for a-Gliatest® IgA, a-Gliatest® IgG, a-GliaPep® IgA and a-GliaPep® IgG, are shown in Table 17.

11.1.6 Assay Cut-off
The normal range of each assay was established by testing over 160 serum samples from healthy subjects and non-celiac controls, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients, on each assay.
The assay cut-off value for a-Gliatest® IgA was determined as follows:
