No
The device description and performance summary describe a standard immunoassay kit with reagents and controls, and there is no mention of AI or ML in any section.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used to detect antibodies to H. pylori to aid in diagnosis, not to treat or directly restore health.

Yes.
The device detects IgG to H. pylori to aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection.

No

The device description clearly lists physical components like test cards, reagents, controls, tubes, and pipets, indicating it is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not software-only.

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 an "in vitro qualitative procedure for the detection of IgG to Helicobacter pylori in human serum, plasma and whole blood." The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD, meaning it is used to test samples outside of the living body.
  • Purpose: The intended use also states that the test results are "intended to aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection." This aligns with the purpose of IVDs, which are used to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions.
  • Sample Type: The device is designed to test human serum, plasma, and whole blood, which are biological samples commonly used in IVD testing.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of an assay system used for laboratory testing, further supporting its classification as an IVD.

Device Description

The ImmunoCard H. pylori assay system is a membrane based EIA for detecting IgG to H. pylori in human serum and plasma. Each kit contains the following components: H. pylori Test Cards (30), Enzyme Conjugate (5ml), Wash Buffer (15ml), Substrate Reagent (15ml), Positive Control (2ml), Negative Control (2ml), Whole Blood Sample Diluent (6.5ml), Heparinized Capillary Tubes (30), Transfer Pipets (30).

Serum and Plasma Assay: Two drops of serum or plasma are added to each of the two sample ports. The serum migrates into the sample wicks and up towards the reaction ports and beyond. After one minute, two drops of conjugate (mouse antibody to human IgG, conjugated with monoclonal alkaline phosphatase) are added to each of the two reaction ports.

Whole Blood Assay: Four drops of Whole Blood Sample Diluent, then two drops of whole blood are added to a specimen cup. Two drops of the diluted whole blood are added to each of the two sample ports. The blood migrates into the sample wicks and up towards the reaction ports and beyond. After three minutes, two drops of conjugate (mouse monoclonal antibody to human IgG, conjugated with alkaline phosphatase) are added to each of the two reaction ports.

Both Assays: After conjugate absorption, two drops of wash buffer are added to the reaction ports, followed by two drops of substrate (BCIP). Reaction ports are observed for the development of any blue color after five minutes. The development of blue color in the right hand port indicates a positive test result for IgG to H. pylori. A lack of blue color in the right hand port indicates a negative result. The left reaction port, containing immobilized human IgG, serves as a procedural control. Failure of the left hand port to develop a blue color indicates an invalid test.

Campylobacter fetus serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Campylobacter fetus serological reagents are devices that consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identifyCampylobacter fetus from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by this bacterium and provides epidemiological information on these diseases.Campylobacter fetus is a frequent cause of abortion in sheep and cattle and is sometimes responsible for endocarditis (inflammation of certain membranes of the heart) and enteritis (inflammation of the intestines) in humans.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls).
