No
The summary describes a quantitative assay kit for measuring transferrin levels using a turbidimetric analyzer. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on a standard laboratory diagnostic test.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for measuring transferrin levels to aid in the diagnosis of various conditions, rather than treating them.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "The measurement of transferrin levels aids in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection and iron deficiency anemia." This indicates the device is used to assist in diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a kit intended for use with a turbidimetric analyzer, indicating it includes reagents and is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the "quantitative determination of human transferrin... in human serum." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Purpose: The purpose is to "aid in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection and iron deficiency anemia." This is a diagnostic purpose, which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
  • Method: It uses a "turbidimetric analyzer," which is a laboratory instrument used for in vitro testing.

The description aligns perfectly 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).

Dear Dr. Constantine:

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
