Intended Use
The Human α1-antitrypsin Kit for use on SPAPLUs is designed for the quantitative in vitro determination of a1-antitrypsin in human serum using the SPAPLus turbidimetric analyzer. The measurement of a1- antitrypsin aids in the diagnosis of several conditions including adult cirrhosis of the liver. In addition, a1- antitrypsin deficiency has been associated with pulmonary emphysema. This test should be used in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings.

No
The summary describes a quantitative in vitro diagnostic test using a turbidimetric analyzer, which is a standard laboratory technique. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The focus is on the chemical analysis of a specific protein.

No
The device is described as an "in vitro determination" kit, indicating it is for diagnostic testing rather than treatment. It "aids in the diagnosis" and "should be used in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings," which points to its use in identifying conditions, not treating them.

Yes
The device is described as aiding in the "diagnosis of several conditions including adult cirrhosis of the liver" and associating "α1- antitrypsin deficiency...with pulmonary emphysema." This indicates its use in identifying or determining the nature of a disease, which is the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device is described as a "Human α1-antitrypsin Kit for use on SPAPLUs" and is designed for "quantitative in vitro determination of a1-antitrypsin in human serum using the SPAPLus turbidimetric analyzer." This description clearly indicates a physical kit and an analyzer, which are hardware components, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states it is for "quantitative in vitro determination of a1-antitrypsin in human serum". The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Sample Type: It uses "human serum", which is a biological sample taken from the body and analyzed outside of the body.
  • Purpose: The test is designed to "aid in the diagnosis of several conditions" and is used "in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings". This aligns with the purpose of IVDs, which are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Analyzer: It is designed for use on a "SPAPLUs turbidimetric analyzer", which is a laboratory instrument used for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

§ 866.5130

Alpha -1-antitrypsin immunological test system.(a)
Identification. Analpha -1-antitrypsin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques thealpha -1-antitrypsin (a plasma protein) in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of several conditions including juvenile and adult cirrhosis of the liver. In addition,alpha -1-antitrypsin deficiency has been associated with pulmonary emphysema.(b)

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, listing 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 classilied (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
