Intended Use
The K-ASSAY® Ferritin (2nd Gen.) assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of ferritin (an iron-storing protein) in human serum and plasma by immunoturbidimetric assay on the Beckman AU680 analyzer. Measurements of ferritin aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron overload and iron deficiency anemia. For in vitro diagnostic use. The K-ASSAY® Ferritin Calibrator (2nd Gen.) is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for calibration of the K-ASSAY® Ferritin (2nd Gen.) assay. For in vitro diagnostic use.
Device Description
The K-ASSAY® Ferritin (2nd Gen.) assay is a latex enhanced immuno-turbidimetric assay for the quantitative in vitro determination of ferritin levels in serum and plasma (EDTA and heparin) samples. The K-ASSAY® Ferritin (2nd Gen.) consists of two reagents. Reagent 1 contains HEPES buffer solution (50 mmol/L) and Reagent 2 contains HEPES buffer solution (50 mmol/L) and a solution of latex suspension with mouse monoclonal anti-human ferritin antibodies. Both reagents also contain less than 0:01 w/v% of sodium azide as a preservative. The K-ASSAY® Ferritin Calibrators (2nd Gen.) are liquid stable products consisting of a human serum matrix and known quantities of human ferritin at 6 levels ranging from 0 -1,000 ng/mL (0, 25, 250, 500, 750, 1,000 ng/mL). The calibrators also contain less than 0.1 w/v% of sodium azide as a preservative.

No
The description details a standard immunoturbidimetric assay and its components. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis beyond standard data processing for quantitative measurements.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent used for the quantitative determination of ferritin, which aids in the diagnosis of diseases. It does not directly treat or alleviate a condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the K-ASSAY® Ferritin (2nd Gen.) assay is "an in vitro diagnostic reagent" and its measurements "aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron overload and iron deficiency anemia." This directly indicates its role as a diagnostic device.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit consisting of chemical reagents and calibrators, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The K-ASSAY® Ferritin (2nd Gen.) assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent..." and "For in vitro diagnostic use." The calibrator also states it is an "in vitro diagnostic reagent" and "For in vitro diagnostic use."
  • Purpose: The assay is designed for the "quantitative determination of ferritin... in human serum and plasma." This is a test performed on samples taken from the human body, outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Clinical Use: The results of the assay "aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron overload and iron deficiency anemia." This indicates the test is used for medical diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details the reagents used to perform the test on biological samples.

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

L. Test Principle:

Human serum or plasma is mixed with a suspension of latex particles coated with purified mouse anti-human ferritin monoclonal antibodies. The resulting immune complexes are measured by turbidimetry. The signal generated is correlated with the concentration of ferritin in the sample. By interpolation on a calibration curve prepared from calibrations of known concentrations, the concentration of ferritin in the sample is calculated. The K-ASSAY® Ferritin (2nd Gen.) assay is analyzed using Beckman/Olympus AU680 clinical chemistry analyzer.
