Intended Use
Instrument: The EUROPattern Microscope and Software is an automated system consisting of fluorescent microscope and software that acquires, interprets, stores and displays digital indirect immunofluorescence slides. The EUROPattern Microscope and Software can only be used with cleared or approved EUROIMMUN in vitro diagnostic assays that are indicated for use on the device. All suggested results obtained with the EUROPattern Microscope and Software must be confirmed by trained personnel. Assay: The EUROIMMUN IFA 40: HEp-20-10 EUROPattern is an indirect immunofluorescence antibody test for the qualitative or semiquantitative determination of IgG antibodies against antibody (ANA) in human serum with the EUROPattern Microscope and Software automated instrument. This in vitro diagnostic assay is used as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. All suggested results obtained with the EUROPattern system must be confirmed by trained personnel.

Unknown
The summary mentions "interprets" slides, which could potentially involve AI/ML for image analysis, but there is no explicit mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor is there information about training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an automated system for acquiring, interpreting, storing, and displaying digital indirect immunofluorescence slides to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases. It is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used to determine antibodies in human serum, not to treat a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "used as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings." This directly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "automated system consisting of fluorescent microscope and software," indicating it includes both hardware (microscope) and software components.

Yes, based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicitly Stated: The text for both the Instrument and the Assay explicitly uses the term "in vitro diagnostic".
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used to determine antibodies in human serum, which is a biological sample tested in vitro (outside the body).
  • Assay Description: The assay is described as an "indirect immunofluorescence antibody test for the qualitative or semiquantitative determination of IgG antibodies against antibody (ANA) in human serum". This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Aid in Diagnosis: The assay is stated to be used "as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings". This is a common purpose of IVD devices.

The entire description points to a system designed to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples in a laboratory setting, which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Locke:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 17, 2015.

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 II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
