Intended Use
The SeraQuest HSV Type 2 Specific IgG assay is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) intended for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human serum. The test is indicated for sexually active individuals and expectant mothers as an aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection. The predictive value of a positive or negative result depends on the prevalence of HSV-2 infection in the pre-test likelihood of HSV-2 infection. The test is not FDA cleared for screening blood or plasma donors. The performance of this assay has not been established for immunocompromised patients, pediatric patients or matrices other than human serum.
Device Description
The SeraQuest® HSV Type 2 Specific IgG test is a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, and in three thirty-minute incubations. The test detects IgG antibodies which are directed against HSV 2 type-specific antigens in human serum. The Calibrator in the SeraQuest® HSV Type 2 Specific IgG test set has been assigned Index values based on an in-house standard. Test results are reported as Index values.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a standard ELISA assay and its automation, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay designed to detect human IgG antibodies to HSV-2 in human serum, which aids in diagnosis. It does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes

The stated "Intended Use / Indications for Use" explicitly says the test is "an aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection."

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay that involves physical reagents and laboratory procedures (ELISA), not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human serum." This is a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample (serum) outside of the body.
  • Device Description: It describes an "enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)," which is a common type of in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Sample Type: The test uses "human serum," which is a biological specimen.
  • Purpose: The test is intended as an "aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection," which is a diagnostic purpose.

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

§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.

(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

Dear Steve Andrus:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
