Intended Use
The Optilite Freelite Mx Kappa Free Kit is intended for the quantitative in vitro measurement of Kappa free light chains in serum and urine using the Binding Site Optilite analyser. Measurement of free light chains aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. The Optilite Freelite Mx Lambda Free Kit is intended for the quantitative in vitro measurement of Lambda free light chains in serum and urine using the Binding Site Optilite analyser. Measurement of free light chains aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings.

More Information

No
The summary describes a reagent kit for quantitative measurement using a specific analyzer, focusing on chemical components and analytical performance, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit used for quantitative measurement of biomarkers, which aids in diagnosis and monitoring, not for direct treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the kits "aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings." This indicates its role in identifying or confirming the presence of diseases.

No

The device description explicitly details the composition of the kits, which are comprised of reagents (Latex Reagent, Calibrator and Controls, Reaction Buffer). These are physical components, not software. The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay kit used with an analyzer, not a software-only device.

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 kits are intended for "quantitative in vitro measurement" of Kappa and Lambda free light chains in serum and urine. The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Purpose: The measurement of these free light chains is stated to "aid in the diagnosis and monitoring" of various diseases. This aligns with the purpose of IVDs, which are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details the reagents used in the kits, which are designed to react with components in the patient's sample (serum and urine) outside of the body.
  • Care Setting: The indication "For prescription use only" is common for IVDs used in a clinical setting.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Optilite Freelite Mx Kappa Free Kit and Optilite Freelite Mx Lambda Free Kit are clearly intended and designed for in vitro diagnostic use.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

L. Test Principle:

Evaluating the concentration of a soluble antigen (e.g. Kappa free light chains) by turbidimetry involves the addition of the test sample to a solution containing the appropriate antibody in a reaction vessel or cuvette. A beam of light is passed through the cuvette and, as the antigen-antibody reaction proceeds, the light passing through the cuvette is scattered increasingly as insoluble immune complexes are formed. Light scatter is monitored by measuring the decrease in intensity of the incident beam of light. The antibody in the cuvette is in excess so the amount of immune complex formed is proportional to the antigen concentration. A series of calibrators of known antigen concentration are assayed initially to produce a calibration curve of measured light scatter versus antigen concentration. Samples of unknown antigen concentration can then be assaved and the results read from the calibration curve.

  • b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
    A linearity study was performed following CLSI document Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach. The linearity of the Kappa Free and Lambda Free assays have been confirmed using serially diluted urine samples to cover the standard measuring ranges of 2.9 – 127mg/L (Kappa) and 5.2 – 139mg/L (Lambda) respectively. The results demonstrated that the kappa free and lambda free assays are linear over the ranges of 2.383-142.687mg/L (Kappa) and 3.87 -160.02mg/L (Lambda) with deviation from linearity ≤ 10%.

  • c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): Traceability: Internally produced master calibrator
    Stability: Not applicable. On board, open vial and real time stability was evaluated in K150658.

  • d. Detection limit:
    The analytical sensitivity was determined in accordance with CLSI EP17-A and was carried out using both serum and urine matrices. The Limit of Blank was based on 60 determinations of blank samples (analyte depleted serum and urine at a low analyte concentration) and was estimated at the 95th percentile of the distribution. The Limit of Detection was calculated from the LoB and the combined SD of the five LoQ samples. The LoQ was calculated from five independent samples (Serum samples: samples diluted with analyte depleted serum and Urine samples: in house urine at low analyte concentration which was then pooled with an in house urine with a higher analyte concentration) to achieve a concentration close to the bottom of the measuring range) tested twelve times over five days. The tabulated summary of results is shown below:

  • e. Analytical specificity:

Interference:

Interferences were assessed according to CLSI EP7-A2 by testing a single urine sample for the Kappa Free assay and the Lambda Free assay. Samples were prepared with an analyte concentration around the reference limit of each assay. Each sample was made up using urine from a healthy adult donor and urine from a kappa or lambda myeloma patient. Samples containing interferents were compared to matched control samples which contained no interferent. The mean results from the spiked samples must be within 10% of the mean of the control samples.
