No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used to measure CRP levels to aid in the evaluation of infection, tissue injury, and inflammatory disorders, not to treat them.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The MSD CRP Kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human serum." Additionally, it mentions that "Measurement of CRP aids in the evaluation of infection, tissue injury, and inflammatory disorders," directly linking its function to diagnosis.

No

The device is an in-vitro diagnostic assay kit and an instrument, which are hardware components used to perform a quantitative measurement. While software is likely involved in the instrument's operation and data analysis, the core device is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the MSD CRP Kit is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use".
  • Purpose: The kit is used for the "quantitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human serum", which is a measurement performed outside of the body on a biological sample to aid in diagnosis or evaluation of medical conditions.
  • Setting and User: The test is performed in a "hospital or clinical laboratory setting by trained laboratory personnel", which is typical for IVD tests.
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" further clarifies that it is a "quantitative in-vitro diagnostic assay".
  • Regulatory Context: The comparison study mentions a "predicate device", which is a common requirement for regulatory submissions of new IVD devices.

All of these points strongly indicate that the MSD CRP Kit is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Test Principle:

The assay in the MSD CRP Kit is a sandwich immunoassay employing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection. This assay is carried out in a 96-well plate consumable that has integrated carbon ink electrodes screen-printed on the bottom of each well. The plate is provided pre-coated with capture antibody on a single, welldefined region of the electrode surface. The user adds the calibrator or sample and a solution containing detection antibody conjugated with electrochemiluminescent labels over the course of two incubation periods. Analyte in the sample binds to the capture antibodies immobilized on the electrode surface; recruitment of the detection antibodies by the bound analyte completes the sandwich. The user adds a buffer that creates the appropriate chemical environment for the electrochemiluminescent signal and loads the plate into an MSD MESO SECTOR S 700 instrument. In the instrument, a voltage is applied to the plate electrodes causing the captured labels to emit light. The instrument

measures the intensity of emitted light to provide a quantitative measure of analyte in the sample.

Performance Characteristics:

    1. Analytical performance: All results for analytical performance met the sponsor's predetermined acceptance criteria for each study.
    • a. Precision/Reproducibility:

The precision and reproducibility of the assay were calculated by testing five serum samples containing various concentrations of CRP. Each sample was run in duplicate, two runs per day, for 20 days with one assay kit lot at three testing sites (n = 240 replicates per sample). The results are summarized in the two tables below.

*5 Outliers (from a total of 1199 measurements) were removed in accordance with CLSI EP05-A3

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Linearity: Linearity was evaluated according to CLSI guideline EP06-A. "Low" and "High" CRP serum pools were created by mixing individual samples. Materials from the High and Low CRP pools were combined to create a total of eleven (11) serial dilutions. A total of four (4) replicate runs were performed on each dilution sample using a single MSD CRP Assay Kit lot. The results of the regression analysis are summarized as follows:

| Test Range

(mg/L)Slope (95% CI)Intercept (95% CI)R2% Recovery
0.627 — 2010.942 (0.926 — 0.958)0.0296 (-0.0389 — 0.0982)0.997-8.9% — 0.0%

The assay is linear from 3 - 160 mg/L.

7

Hook effect: The assay was tested for prozone or hook effect up to a CRP concentration of 800 mg/L. No prozone effect was observed within the linear range of the assay.

  • c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
    Traceability: The calibrators used to calibrate the assay are traceable to the CRM474 reference material.

Value assignment: A reference lot is created by diluting bulk calibration material. It is assigned using 4 dilutions across the quantitation range; CRM474 is utilized as the calibration standard. Production lots of kit calibrator are created by diluting the bulk calibration material in CRP Diluent to the nominal highest calibration level used in the assay. The concentration of each lot of kit calibrator is assigned using 4 dilutions across the quantitation range, using the reference lot as the calibration standard.

Stability: The real-time stability for un-opened components was performed using multiple kit lots. The results support a kit shelf life of 7 months. Storage temperatures for each kit component are found on the component labels and in the product insert.

d. Detection limit:

Limit of Blank (LoB) was determined by testing one hundred twenty (120) blank replicates created using MSD CRP Diluent without addition of the MSD CRP Calibrator. Samples were run on multiple kit lots and the statistical method for determining LoB for each kit lot was based on whether the data distribution was Non-Gaussian or Gaussian in accordance with CLSI guideline EP17-A2. The LoB was determined to be 0.02 mg/L for all tested kit lots.

Limit of Detection (LoD) was determined by testing one hundred twenty (120) low-level CRP samples created by testing twenty (20) replicates of six (6) lowlevel serum pools prepared by mixing MSD CRP Calibrator and MSD CRP Diluent in varying proportions. Samples were run on multiple kit lots and the LoD was calculated according to CLSI guideline EP17-A2 to be 0.039, 0.048 and 0.049 mg/L for each of the tested kit lots.

Limit of Quantification (LoQ) was validated by testing eight (8) replicates of six (6) low-level CRP pools that were prepared by mixing the MSD CRP Calibrator and the MSD CRP Diluent in varying proportions close to the lower limit of the reportable range. CLSI guideline EP17-A2 defines LoQ as the lowest concentration of the analyte that can be reported with a Total Error (TE)
