The summary describes a laboratory test kit and a semiautomatic system for electrophoresis and immunofixation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the context of medical devices. The analysis is described as "qualitative analysis" of electrophoretic patterns, which is a standard laboratory technique.
No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic use, meaning it's used to analyze samples from the human body, not to treat a condition directly. It aids in diagnosis rather than providing therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the phenotyping results "aid in the diagnosis of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency," which indicates its use in identifying a disease state.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic kit that includes reagents and is used with a semiautomatic system, indicating it is not software-only.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states:
- "The SPIFE A1AT kit is designed for the qualitative detection of the different phenotypes of Alpha-1 Antitypsin (Al AT)." This indicates it's used to analyze a substance from the human body.
- "Phenotyping results in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory assays aid in the diagnosis of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency." This clearly states its purpose is to aid in diagnosis.
- "The analysis is performed on human sera..." This confirms the sample source is human biological material.
- "For in vitro diagnostic use only." This is a definitive statement that the device is intended for use outside of the living body to diagnose disease or other conditions.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SPIFE A1AT kit is designed for the qualitative detection of the different phenotypes of Alpha-1 Antitypsin (Al AT). Phenotyping results in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory assays aid in the diagnosis of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency. The analysis is performed on human sera separated into electrophoretic patterns ready for qualitative analysis. The procedure includes isoelectrofocusing on agarose gel, performed on the semiautomatic SPIFE Touch system followed by immunofixation with anti-Alpha-1 Antiserum. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

§ 866.5130
Alpha -1-antitrypsin immunological test system.(a)
Identification. Analpha -1-antitrypsin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques thealpha -1-antitrypsin (a plasma protein) in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of several conditions including juvenile and adult cirrhosis of the liver. In addition,alpha -1-antitrypsin deficiency has been associated with pulmonary emphysema.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Rachel Easley:
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.
