Intended Use
System reagent for the quantitative determination of IgG immunoglobulins in human serum, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid on Beckman Coulter AU/DxC AU analyzers. The measurement of IgG aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents.
Device Description
The device consists of two reagents: R1 buffer (Tris buffer pH 7.2, polyethylene glycol 6000) and R2 (goat anti-IgG antiserum). The reagents contain sodium azide as preservative. When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human IqG reacts specifically with anti-human IgG antibodies to yield insoluble aggregates. Immune complexes formed in solution scatter light in proportion to their size, shape, and concentration. Turbidimeters then measure the reduction of incidence light due to reflection, absorption, or scatter. The decrease in intensity of light transmitted (increase in absorbance) through particles suspended in solution is a result of complexes formed during the antigen-antibody reaction.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard in vitro diagnostic methods (turbidimetry) and do not mention any AI/ML components or algorithms.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagent used for the quantitative determination of IgG immunoglobulins, aiding in the diagnosis of specific conditions, not for treating them.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "The measurement of IgG aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents." This clearly indicates its role in diagnosis.

No

The device is described as consisting of two reagents (R1 buffer and R2 antiserum) and relies on turbidimetry for measurement, indicating it is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic test, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "System reagent for the quantitative determination of IgG immunoglobulins in human serum, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid". This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it involves analyzing biological samples outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis.
  • Device Description: The description details reagents used to react with components in the sample (human IgG with anti-human IgG antibodies) to produce a measurable result (insoluble aggregates causing light scattering). This process is performed in vitro (in a test tube or similar container).
  • Input Imaging Modality and Anatomical Site: The "Not Applicable (In vitro diagnostic test)" entries for these fields further confirm that the device operates on samples outside the body, not directly on a patient's anatomy.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described (Method Comparison, Linearity, Sensitivity, Precision, Interference, Reference Interval) are standard types of studies conducted to validate the performance of IVD devices.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Substantial equivalence is demonstrated through non-clinical (bench) studies. CLSI study protocols were used to verify the performance claims stated in the reagent IFU and ensure that the technological differences between the candidate and predicate analyzer models did not adversely affect safety and effectiveness.

Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
Method comparison and bias estimation experiments were designed using CLSI Guideline EP09C-ED3 "Measurement Procedure Comparison and Bias Estimation Patient Samples; Third Edition". These patient correlation studies Using demonstrate equivalence between Beckman Coulter's IgG assay on the candidate DxC 500 AU analyzer and the predicate DxC 700 AU analyzer.

  • Sample Type: Serum, N=147, Slope=1.015, Intercept=-25.422, R=0.9981
  • Sample Type: CSF, N=114, Slope=0.998, Intercept=0.1141, R=0.9995

Linearity/Reportable Range:
Analytical range (linearity) studies were designed to meet the requirements of CLSI quideline EP06-A "Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline". High and low pools were prepared and inter-diluted to achieve concentrations spanning the required linear range. Each dilution was assayed in quadruplicate on a DxC 500 AU analyzer. The performance data for the study demonstrates linearity throughout the claimed dynamic range of the IgG candidate assay.

  • Serum: Linear Range 75-3,000 mg/dL, Linear From 73.2868, Linear To 3261.9190, Pass
  • CSF: Linear Range 2-50 mg/dL, Linear From 1.9, Linear To 53.0, Pass

Sensitivity (Detection Limits):
LOB, LOD and LOQ studies were designed in accordance with CLSI quideline EP17-A2 "Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures Approved Guideline - Second Edition". An experimental design consisted of replicate measurements on blank and low-level sample pools using 2 lots of reagent across multiple days. A total of 72 blank replicates were generated per reagent lot (4 blank native serum samples 'analyte-depleted' ran n=6 for 3 days) to generate the LOB value that serves as a component of the LOD determination. For the LOD and LOQ determinations, 500 replicates were generated for each reagent lot for each application; this was comprised of 10 low-level samples for IgG which were run 10-fold for 5 days.

  • Serum: LOB 5.6 mg/dL, LOD 8.6 mg/dL, LOQ 18.5 mg/dL at 10% CV
  • CSF: LOB 0.11 mg/dL, LOD 0.31 mg/dL, LOQ 0.63 mg/dL at 20% CV

Precision:
Repeatability (within-run) and within-laboratory (total) precision studies were performed in accordance with the CLSI guideline EP05-A3 "Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline - Third Edition" using a 20-day study design. A separate 5-day study design was used to evaluate reproducibility using three DxC 500 AU analyzers. The candidate IgG assay met the performance specifications as stated in the IgG reagent IFU.

20-day Precision Data Summary:
Serum:

  • Sample Levels 1 (503.99 mg/dL): Repeatability (Within Run) 5.8 SD, 1.2 CV%, Within Laboratory (Total) 6.3 SD, 1.2 CV%

Interferences (Analytical Specificity):
Interference studies were designed based on the CLSI Guideline EP07, 3d Edition "Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline". All test samples were assayed n=5 at two analyte levels. The sample pools tested were at different levels of interferents to determine the magnitude of their effect. The data analysis involved calculating the difference in recovery of the samples with and without the potential interfering substances. The candidate IgG assay met the performance specifications as stated in the IgG reagent IFU.

The purpose of the study was to validate the acceptability of the original IgG serum reference interval for use on the candidate DxC 500 AU analyzer.

  • Serum (Adult): 635 - 1,741 mg/dL - Pass
  • CSF: 15 – 20 years: 3.5 mg/dL ± 2.0 mg/dL; 21 - 40 years: 4.2 mg/dL ± 1.4 mg/dL; 41 - 60 years: 4.7 mg/dL ± 1.0 mg/dL - N/A* (*Literature reference used)

The device consists of two reagents: R1 buffer (Tris buffer pH 7.2, polyethylene glycol 6000) and R2 (goat anti-IgG antiserum). The reagents contain sodium azide as preservative.

When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human IqG reacts specifically with anti-human IgG antibodies to yield insoluble aggregates. Immune complexes formed in solution scatter light in proportion to their size, shape, and concentration. Turbidimeters then measure the reduction of incidence light due to reflection, absorption, or scatter.
