The summary describes a standard immunoassay for measuring folate levels and does not mention any AI or ML components. The performance studies focus on analytical characteristics of the assay itself.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of folate, which aids in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease; rather, it provides information for diagnostic purposes.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The Atellica™ Folate assay is for in vitro diagnostic use..." and "Folic acid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias."

No

The device description clearly lists physical components (reagents, calibrators, etc.) which are not software. The performance studies also focus on the analytical performance of an immunoassay, not software functionality.

10.2 Linearity

Serum:

A linearity study was performed according to CLSI EP06-A using 9 samples spanning the assay range, which were prepared using high and low human serum pools. The mean was taken from each sample tested in triplicate. As presented below, the bias from the linear fit estimate was 5.38 |
| RBC folate | | | |
| Normal | 286 | 425 | 280 - 791 |

As with all in vitro diagnostic assays, each laboratory should determine its own reference interval for the diagnostic evaluation of patient results.

10.8 Detection Limits

The limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), and the limit of quantitation (LoQ) were determined as described in CLSI protocol EP17-A2. The LoB is defined as the highest measurement result that is likely to be observed for a blank sample. The LoD is defined as the lowest concentration of Folate that can be detected with 95% probability. The LoQ is defined as the lowest concentration of Folate that can be detected at a total CV of 20%.

The Atellica IM Folate assay has an LoB of 0.19 ng/mL, an LoD of 0.38 ng/mL, and an LoQ of 0.56 ng/mL for serum and an LoB of 0.00 ng/mL, an LoD of 0.21 ng/mL, and an LoQ of 0.56 ng/mL for RBC hemolysate.

10.9 Interference

Interference studies were performed according to CLSI EP07-A2 to evaluate the performance of the Atellica IM Folate assay in the presence of endogenous and other interfering substances. Two human sample pools were tested. One sample pool had approximately 4.0 ng/mL Folate. The second sample pool had approximately 12.0 ng/mL Folate. These sample pools were spiked with potential interferents. There was no indication
