The summary describes a reagent and its use on a specific family of clinical analyzers for quantitative determination of a substance. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent used to quantitatively measure valproic acid levels in human serum and plasma, which is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic intervention.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for the "quantitative determination of valproic acid in human serum and plasma," which is a measurement used to aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "test system" and a "reagent" intended for use with specific hardware analyzers (SYNCHRON System analyzers). This indicates it includes physical components (reagents) and is designed to operate on specific hardware, not solely as software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "intended for use in the quantitative determination of valproic acid in human serum and plasma." This indicates the device is used to test samples taken from the human body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information (determining the amount of valproic acid).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's a "test system" for the "quantitative measurement of valproic acid in serum and plasma."
  • Performance Studies: The inclusion of performance studies like "Method Comparison" and "Precision" are typical for IVD devices, demonstrating their analytical performance for diagnostic purposes.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (K904226; TDxFLx® Valproic Acid Reagent) is a strong indicator that this device is being compared to an already cleared IVD device, a common practice in regulatory submissions for IVDs.

The core function of analyzing human biological samples (serum and plasma) to measure a specific substance (valproic acid) for diagnostic purposes clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 862.3645 Neuroleptic drugs radioreceptor assay test system.

(a)
Identification. A neuroleptic drugs radioceptor assay test system is a device intended to measure in serum or plasma the dopamine receptor blocking activity of neuroleptic drugs and their active metabolites. A neuroleptic drug has anti-psychotic action affecting principally psychomotor activity, is generally without hypnotic effects, and is a tranquilizer. Measurements obtained by this device are used to aid in determining whether a patient is taking the prescribed dosage level of such drugs.(b)
Classification. Class II.
