No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard immunonephelometry techniques and do not mention any AI or ML components.
No
The device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent used for quantitative determination of free light chains, which aids in the diagnosis of certain conditions, rather than treating them.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assays are "In-vitro diagnostic reagents" and that "FLC measurements are used as an aid in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) and amyloidosis (AL)." This clearly indicates its role in diagnosis.
No
The device is described as in vitro diagnostic reagents and associated controls and standards used with specific hardware systems (BN II and BN ProSpec Systems) for performing particle-enhanced immunonephelometry. This involves physical reagents and a hardware-based measurement process, not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states "In-vitro diagnostic reagents for the quantitative determination of free light chains (FLC)... in human serum and EDTA plasma". It also states that these measurements are used "as an aid in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) and amyloidosis (AL)". This clearly indicates the device is intended for use in examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description further reinforces this by detailing the reagents and their use in "in vitro diagnostic reagents for the quantitative determination of free light chains... in human serum and EDTA plasma". It also describes the mechanism of action (particle-enhanced immunonephelometry) which is a common technique used in IVD testing.
- Components: The description lists various components like "N Latex FLC kappa and lambda assays", "N FLC Supplementary Reagent", "N FLC Standard SL", and "N FLC Controls SL1 and SL2". These are all typical components of an IVD test system used for performing the diagnostic assay.
- Clinical Studies and Performance Metrics: The inclusion of sections on "Clinical Studies" and "Key Metrics" (Sensitivity, Specificity) further confirms its nature as an IVD, as these are standard evaluations for demonstrating the performance of a diagnostic device.
- Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices with K numbers (K031016) indicates that this device is being compared to previously cleared IVD devices.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The N Latex FLC (free light chain) assays are in vitro diagnostic reagents for the quantitative determination of free light chains, type kappa or type lambda, in human serum and EDTA plasma by means of particle-enhanced immunonephelometry using the BN™ II and BN ProSpec® Systems. Used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings, FLC measurements are used as an aid in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) and amyloidosis (AL).
Used in conjunction with the assay reagents, N FLC Standard SL is for use in the establishment of reference curves for the determination of free light chains, type kappa and type lambda on the BN™ II and BN ProSpec® Systems. The N FLC Control SL 1 and 2 products are for use as assayed accuracy controls and precision controls in the determination of free light chains, type kappa and type lambda by immunonephelometry with the BN™ II and BN ProSpec® Systems.
The FLC test systems are based upon the principles of particle-enhanced immunonephelometry. Polystyrene particles coated with monoclonal antibodies to human free light chains, type kappa or lambda, respectively, are agglutinated when mixed with samples containing FLC. These aggregates scatter a beam of light passed through the sample. The intensity of the scattered light is proportional to the concentration of the respective protein in the sample. The result is evaluated by comparison with a standard of known concentration.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Precision and Reproducibility: Evaluated according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute EP05-A3 guideline. Serum samples from commercial sources, pooled to achieve target concentrations spanning the linear range. Testing on three BN II and three BN ProSpec® instruments with two replicates per run, two runs per day using three lots of assay-specific reagents. Results summarized by mean (mg/L) and Coefficient of Variation (%).
Measuring Range (Linearity and LoQ): Linearity studies performed according to CLSI EP06-A: 2003. Test specimens serially diluted to yield a minimum of 9 levels within the claimed measuring range. Serum and EDTA plasma from four healthy donors (Sanquin blood bank) spiked with purified polyclonal FLC kappa and FLC lambda, then diluted with FLC depleted plasma. Measured in three independent measurements. Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) studies performed in accordance with CLSI EP17-A2: 2012. Five individual serum samples with very low concentrations of FLC kappa and five with very low concentrations of FLC lambda diluted with PBS containing 1% human serum albumin (HSA). Samples run 10 times on two lots of reagents, on two systems (BN II and BN ProSpec), on three consecutive days.
High Dose Hook Effect (Antigen Excess): Serum samples with high FLC concentrations manually diluted. When pre-reaction bit values are higher than the upper end of the calibration curve, new dilution and measurement initiated automatically by the system. No hook effect (false negatives) observed for FLC kappa up to 27,100 mg/L and FLC lambda up to 57,300 mg/L due to built-in pre-reaction protocols.
Specificity (Interference): Evaluated according to CLSI guideline EP7-A210. Various endogenous and exogenous substances tested for interference.
Clinical Studies - Expected values / Reference interval: Reference interval study performed according to CLSI EP28-A3C. Determined from a US-population of 201 apparently healthy subjects. Intervals calculated non-parametrically, representing the central 95% range. Kappa: 8.24–28.9 mg/L; Lambda: 9.10–32.6 mg/L. Ratio: 0.53 to 1.51 (median 0.88).
Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity: Total of 342 samples included (96 Multiple Myeloma, 83 AL Amyloidosis, 163 non-myeloma).
For Multiple Myeloma: Clinical Sensitivity: 95.8 % (95 % Confidence Interval: 89.8 to 98.4 %). Clinical Specificity: 96.9 % (95 % Confidence Interval: 93.0 to 98.7 %).
For AL Amyloidosis: Clinical Sensitivity: 83.1 % (95 % Confidence Interval: 73.7 to 89.7 %). Clinical Specificity: 96.9 % (95 % Confidence Interval: 93.0 to 98.7 %).
Method comparison with predicate device: 152 serum samples from patients with monoclonal gammopathy assayed by immunofixation (IFE), N Latex FLC, and a comparison method (commercially available particle-enhanced immunonephelometric method). Overall agreement rate for N Latex FLC kappa versus Comparison Method and N Latex FLC lambda versus Comparison Method.
Key results:
Precision: Total CV for kappa ranged from 3.45% to 7.87%, for lambda 2.87% to 9.44%.
Linearity: Supports claims of 3.4 to 110 mg/L for FLC kappa and 1.9 to 60 mg/L for FLC lambda.
LoQ: 0.195 mg/L for FLC kappa (total error 10.57%), 0.532 mg/L for FLC lambda (total error 10.01%).
High Dose Hook Effect: Not observed up to 27,100 mg/L (kappa) and 57,300 mg/L (lambda).
Specificity: No interference found from listed endogenous and exogenous substances up to indicated concentrations.
Reference Intervals: Kappa: 8.24–28.9 mg/L; Lambda: 9.10–32.6 mg/L; Ratio: 0.53 to 1.51.
Clinical Performance: High sensitivity and specificity for Multiple Myeloma and AL Amyloidosis diagnosis.
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
Clinical Sensitivity:
Multiple Myeloma: 95.8 % (95 % Confidence Interval: 89.8 to 98.4 %)

§ 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)
