Intended Use
HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) is a qualitative, fully automated, chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) for the detection of IgG antibodies that react with Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) when complexed to heparin. The assay is for use in human 3.2% or 3.8% citrated plasma and serum on the ACL AcuStar instrument in a laboratory setting. The result provided by the assay should be interpreted as either positive or negative based on the assay cut-off (1.00 U/ mL). The positive or negative result aids in determining the risk for heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) when used in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. Anti-PF4/Heparin antibodies are commonly found in patients with HIT. For use in adult population suspected of HIT. Not for use in isolation to exclude HIT. HemosIL AcuStar HIT Controls are for the quality control of the HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay as performed on the ACL AcuStar. For prescription use.
Device Description
The HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay is a chemiluminescent two-step immunoassay consisting of magnetic particles coated with PF4 complexed to polyvinyl sulfonate (PVS) which capture, if present, the PF4/Heparin antibodies from the sample. After incubation, magnetic separation, and a wash step, a tracer consisting of an isoluminol-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is added and may bind with the captured PF4/Heparin IgG on the particles. After a second incubation, magnetic separation, and a wash step, reagents that trigger the luminescent reaction are added, and the emitted light is measured as relative light units (RLUs) by the ACL AcuStar optical system. The RLUs are directly proportional to the PF4/Heparin IgG concentration in the sample. The HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) kit consists of: R HIT-IgG(PF4-H) Cartridge for 25 determinations: Cartridge containing 1 vial of magnetic particle suspension coated with PF4/PVS complex, 1 vial of assay buffer, 1 vial of tracer consisting of an mAb anti-human IgG antibody labeled with isoluminol, and 1 vial of sample diluent used for the regular predilution of the sample. The reagents are in a phosphate or Tris buffer containing bovine serum albumin, bovine fetal serum, PF4/PVS complex, mouse monoclonal IgG, stabilizers, and preservative. C1 HIT-IgG(PF4-H) Calibrator 1: Barcoded tube of a solution with humanized mAb anti-PF4-Heparin in Tris buffer containing bovine serum albumin, stabilizers and preservative. C2 HIT-IgG(PF4-H) Calibrator 2: Barcoded tube of a solution with humanized mAb anti-PF4-Heparin in Tris buffer containing bovine serum albumin, stabilizers, and preservative. The calibrators are lot specific and they cannot be used with other lots of reagents. Controls: The Low and High HIT Controls are prepared by means of a dedicated process and contain different concentrations of humanized monoclonal anti-PF4-Heparin. Low HIT Control: Control intended for the assessment of precision and accuracy of the HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay below the cut-off. High HIT Control: Control intended for the assessment of precision and accuracy of the HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay above the cut-off. Use of both controls is recommended for a complete quality control program.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay and its performance characteristics. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The analysis focuses on chemical reactions, light measurement, and statistical analysis of results against a cut-off.

No
This device is a qualitative, fully automated, chemiluminescent immunoassay used for the detection of IgG antibodies to aid in determining the risk for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). It provides diagnostic information rather than treatment.

Yes

The device is described as a "qualitative, fully automated, chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) for the detection of IgG antibodies" that "aids in determining the risk for heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) when used in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings." This clearly indicates its purpose is to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

No

The device is a chemiluminescent immunoassay kit consisting of physical reagents (magnetic particles, assay buffer, tracer, sample diluent, calibrators, controls) used on a specific instrument (ACL AcuStar). While the instrument likely contains software for operation and data processing, the device itself is a physical kit, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the assay is for use in human plasma and serum to detect IgG antibodies that react with Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) when complexed to heparin. This is a test performed on a biological sample taken from the human body.
  • Purpose: The result aids in determining the risk for heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) when used in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. This indicates the test is used to provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Setting: The assay is for use "in a laboratory setting," which is a common environment for IVD testing.
  • Device Description: The description details the reagents and components used to perform the test on the sample, which is characteristic of an IVD kit.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes performance studies like method comparison and cut-off determination, which are standard for demonstrating the analytical and clinical performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: A predicate device (K071255) is listed, which is another IVD used for similar testing.
  • Reference Device: A reference device (Serotonin Release Assay - SRA) is mentioned, which is a common reference method for HIT testing.

All of these factors align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

| Device Description
Reagent Cartridges
with Calibrators | The HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay is a chemiluminescent two-step
immunoassay consisting of magnetic particles coated with PF4 complexed to
polyvinyl sulfonate (PVS) which capture, if present, the PF4/Heparin antibodies from
the sample. After incubation, magnetic separation, and a wash step, a tracer
consisting of an isoluminol-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is added and may bind
with the captured PF4/Heparin IgG on the particles. After a second incubation,
magnetic separation, and a wash step, reagents that trigger the luminescent
reaction are added, and the emitted light is measured as relative light units (RLUs)
by the ACL AcuStar optical system. The RLUs are directly proportional to the
PF4/Heparin IgG concentration in the sample.
The HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) kit consists of: |

Multicenter Method Comparison

A multicenter method comparison study was performed at three (3) hospitals, comparing the performance of HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) with the predicate device, Zymutest HIA IgG (K071255) (n=802) and with the Serotonin Release Assay (SRA) (n=790).

The samples were from patients exposed to heparin that showed HIT related symptoms.

Samples were analyzed in singlicate, with no spiked samples used in this study.

HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) vs. Predicate Device (Zymutest HIA IgG) .

The pooled results below are based on a cut-off of 1.00 U/mL for the HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay and 0.5 OD cut-off value for Zymutest HIA IgG.

HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(pF4-H) Assay vs. SRA and Predicate vs. SRA

Patient samples in the multicenter study without a valid SRA result or with an indeterminate result (total N=12) were removed from calculations, bringing the final total to N = 790. The pooled results summarized below compare both HemosIL AcuStar HIT-lgG1p++) (cut-off of 1.00 U/mL) to the SRA test results and the Zymutest HIA IgG assay (cut-off of 0.5 OD) to the SRA test results.

  • Conclusion for SRA testing: HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) showed equivalent NPV and superior PPV performance to the predicate device when both assays were compared to the SRA method with the intended use adult population.

Conclusion:

The analytical and clinical study results demonstrate that the HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG(PF4-H) assay and HemosIL AcuStar HIT Controls are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Zymutest HIA IgG (FDA cleared under K071255), and that the assay is safe and effective for its labeled intended use when compared to the SRA reference method.
