The summary describes a standard enzyme assay for quantitative determination of Lp-PLA2 activity, which is a biochemical measurement. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The intended use is as an aid in predicting risk based on this measurement, but the measurement itself is a direct biochemical assay, not an AI/ML-driven analysis.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test for measuring a biomarker, not a device used for treating or alleviating a disease or condition.
Yes
The device is an enzyme assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of Lp-PLA2 activity, which is used as an aid in predicting risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). This falls under the definition of a diagnostic device as it provides information for the diagnosis or prediction of a disease.
No
The device is described as an "enzyme assay" for "in vitro quantitative determination" using "automated clinical chemistry analyzers." This strongly indicates a laboratory test involving physical reagents and hardware, not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states:
"The Diazyme PLAC® Test for Lp-PLA2 Activity is an enzyme assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of Lp-PLA2 (lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2) activity in EDTA plasma and serum on automated clinical chemistry analyzers."
The phrase "in vitro quantitative determination" is a key indicator of an in vitro diagnostic device, meaning it is used to test samples taken from the body (like plasma and serum) outside of the body to measure a specific substance or activity.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Diazyme PLAC® Test for Lp-PLA2 Activity is an enzyme assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of Lp-PLA2 (lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2) activity in EDTA plasma and serum on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Lp-PLA2 activity is to be used in conjunction with clinical evaluation and patient risk assessment as an aid in predicting risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with no prior history of cardiovascular events.

§ 866.5600 Low-density lipoprotein immunological test system.
(a)
Identification. A low-density lipoprotein immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the low-density lipoprotein in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of low-density lipoprotein in serum may aid in the diagnosis of disorders of lipid (fat) metabolism and help to identify young persons at risk from cardiovascular diseases.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Chao Dou:
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. You must comply with all the Act's
1
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
