The device description details standard chemical reactions and photometric measurements for quantitative analysis. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent used for quantitative determination of substances in serum to aid in diagnosis and treatment monitoring, not to provide therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the measurements (total iron-binding capacity, iron, and lactate dehydrogenase activity) are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of anemia" or "used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis," or "used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases... cardiac diseases." This directly indicates its role in diagnosing diseases.
No
The device description clearly details chemical reagents and their interactions with serum samples, which are physical components used in a laboratory setting. It also mentions a "Clinical Chemistry System" which is a hardware device. This is not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicit Statement: The intended use section for each reagent explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use only."
- Intended Use: The reagents are intended for the quantitative determination of substances (Total Iron-Binding Capacity, Iron, and Lactate Dehydrogenase) in serum, which is a biological sample taken from the human body.
- Purpose: The measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases (anemia, hemochromatosis, chronic renal disease, liver diseases, cardiac diseases, tumors). This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
- Setting: The intended users are clinical laboratories and physician office laboratories, which are typical settings for IVD testing.

Device Description
In the ACE Direct Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Reagent assay, Direct TIBC Color Reagent, an acidic buffer containing an iron-binding dye and ferric chloride, is added to the serum sample. The low pH of Direct TIBC Color Reagent releases iron from transferrin. The iron then forms a colored complex with the dye. The colored complex at the end of the first step represents both the serum iron and excess iron already present in Direct TIBC Color Reagent. Direct TIBC Buffer, a neutral buffer, is then added, shifting the pH and resulting in a large increase in the affinity of transferrin for iron. The serum transferrin rapidly binds the iron by abstracting it from the dye-iron complex. The observed decrease in absorbance of the colored dye-iron complex is directly proportional to the total iron-binding capacity of the serum sample. The absorbance is measured at 647 nm. The ACE Direct Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Reagent is composed of two reagent bottles (Direct TIBC Color Reagent and Direct TIBC Buffer). The Direct TIBC Color Reagent (R1) contains: Chromazurol B, Cetrimide, ferric chloride and acetate buffer. The Direct TIBC Buffer (R2) contains: sodium bicarbonate buffer.
In the ACE Total Iron Reagent assay, transferrin-bound iron in serum is released at an acidic pH and reduced from ferric to ferrous ions. These ions react with ferrozine to form a violet colored complex, which is measured bichromatically at 554 nm/692 nm. The intensity of color produced is directly proportional to the serum iron concentration. The ACE Total Iron Reagent is composed of two reagent bottles (Buffer and Color Reagent). The Buffer (R1) contains: hydroxylamine hydrochloride, acetate buffer (pH 4.5) and surfactant. The Color Reagent (R2) contains: ferrozine and hydroxylamine hydrochloride.
In the ACE LDH-L Reagent assay, lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate to pyruvate. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) acts as an acceptor for the hydrogen ions released from the L-lactate and is converted to reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). NADH absorbs strongly at 340 nm whereas NAD+ does not. Therefore, the rate of conversion of NAD+ to NADH can be determined by monitoring the increase in absorbance bichromatically at 340 nm/647 nm. This rate of conversion from NAD+ to NADH is directly proportional to the lactate dehydrogenase activity in the sample. The ACE LDH-L Reagent is composed of two reagent bottles (Substrate and Coenzyme Reagent). The reagents contain L-lactic acid and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
