Intended Use
In-vitro diagnostic reagents for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulins (IgG. IgA and IgM) in human serum, heparinized and EDTA plasma, and IgG in human urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by means of immunonephelometry on the BN II and BN ProSpec® System. Measurements of IgG aid in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents.
Device Description
The N Antiserum to Human IgG reagent containing animal serum, produced by immunization of rabbits with highly purified human immunoglobulin (< 3.5 g/L). The reagent is a ready-to-use liquid containing preservatives. There are two product variants available. One variant (REF OSAS11) contains 1 x 2 mL vial / box, and the other variant (REF OSAS19) contains 1 x 5 mL vial / box. Proteins contained in human body fluids form immune complexes in an immunochemical reaction with specific antibodies. These complexes scatter a beam of light passed through the sample. The intensity of the scattered light is proportional to the concentration of the relevant protein in the result is evaluated by comparison with a standard of known concentration.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on immunochemical reactions and light scattering, with no mention of AI or ML.

No

This device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent used for quantitative determination of immunoglobulins, aiding in diagnosis, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device aids in the "diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents," which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent, which is a chemical substance used in laboratory tests, not a software program.

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 device is for "In-vitro diagnostic reagents for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulins (IgG. IgA and IgM) in human serum, heparinized and EDTA plasma, and IgG in human urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)". This clearly indicates that the device is intended to be used outside of the body to diagnose or aid in the diagnosis of conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a reagent used in an "immunochemical reaction" with "human body fluids" to measure protein concentrations. This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K083445) and the name "N Antisera to Human Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and IgM)" strongly suggests that this device is being submitted for regulatory clearance as an IVD, referencing a previously cleared IVD.

The information provided clearly indicates that this device is designed to be used in a laboratory setting to analyze human samples for diagnostic purposes, which is the core function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.5510 Immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, and E immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, and E immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, an E (serum antibodies) in serum. Measurement of these immunoglobulins aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents.(b)

Dear Sanja Matern:

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 (the 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 available 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.

A Class 2 Device Recall N Antisera to Human Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and IgM) was issued on August 30, 2022. Despite there was no High Dose Hook (HDH) Effect claim for the determination of Immunoglobulin G in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, customer expectations were not met. Therefore, we now would like to introduce a HDH claim for CSF samples.
