Intended Use
The kit is intended for the quantitation of lambda free light chains in serum and urine on Binding Site SPAPLUS. Measurement of free light chains in serum aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition dissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. Measurement of free light chains in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis and light chain deposition with other laboratory and clinical findings.

No
The provided text describes a diagnostic kit for quantifying free light chains, a standard laboratory test. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No
The device is described as a kit for the "quantitation of lambda free light chains in serum and urine," primarily for diagnostic purposes ("aids in the diagnosis and monitoring"). It does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the kit "aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition dissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings." The term "aids in the diagnosis" directly indicates a diagnostic function for the device.

No

The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes a kit for quantitation of lambda free light chains in serum and urine on a specific instrument (Binding Site SPAPLUS). This strongly suggests a hardware component (the kit itself and the instrument) is involved, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the kit is for the "quantitation of lambda free light chains in serum and urine." This involves testing biological samples (serum and urine) outside of the body.
  • Purpose: The intended use also specifies that the measurement "aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition dissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings." This indicates the device is used for medical purposes to provide information about a patient's health status.

These are key characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.5550 Immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques both kappa and lambda types of light chain portions of immunoglobulin molecules in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. In some disease states, an excess of light chains are produced by the antibody-forming cells. These free light chains, unassociated with gamma globulin molecules, can be found in a patient's body fluids and tissues. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.(b)

Dear Mr. Kenny:

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 classified (see above) into either class 11 (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
