Intended Use
The Anthos PhACTS 2010 Microplate Reader is intended to be used as a general purpose microplate photometer for clinical use.
Device Description
The Anthos PhACTS 2010, 2001 and its predicate devices all share the same principle of operation. Briefly, each device provides a light source which is focused to provide illumination of wells in a microtiter plate. A corresponding silicon-photodiodes measures the amount of light absorbed by the sample as the light passes through the microplate well. The respective well absorbance measurements is used by the data reduction software to yield a specific well absorbance value which in turn can yield a qualitative or quantitative assay result.

No
The description focuses on standard photometric principles and data reduction software, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No
The device is described as a "general purpose microplate photometer for clinical use" that measures light absorption to yield a qualitative or quantitative assay result, indicating it is for diagnostic or analytical purposes, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The device measures properties of a sample (light absorbed) to yield a qualitative or quantitative assay result, which is indicative of a diagnostic purpose. The Intended Use also states "general purpose microplate photometer for clinical use."

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components (light source, silicon-photodiodes) that are integral to the device's function, in addition to the data reduction software.

Yes, based on the provided information, the Anthos PhACTS 2010 Microplate Reader is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is for "clinical use" and is a "general purpose microplate photometer". Microplate readers are commonly used in clinical laboratories to perform various in vitro diagnostic tests (e.g., ELISA, enzyme assays) on patient samples (like blood, urine, etc.).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device measures light absorbance in microplate wells, which is a fundamental principle used in many in vitro diagnostic assays to quantify or qualify substances in a sample. The mention of "qualitative or quantitative assay result" further supports its use in diagnostic testing.
  • Predicate Devices: The listed predicate devices are also microplate readers, which are typically classified as IVDs.

While the document doesn't provide details about specific assays or patient populations, the core function and intended use clearly align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Principles of Operation

The Anthos PhACTS 2010, 2001 and its predicate devices all share the same principle of operation. Briefly, each device provides a light source which is focused to provide illumination of wells in a microtiter plate. A corresponding silicon-photodiodes measures the amount of light absorbed by the sample as the light passes through the microplate well. The respective well absorbance measurements is used by the data reduction software to yield a specific well absorbance value which in turn can yield a qualitative or quantitative assay result.. Thus, the Anthos PhACTS 2010, 2001 and its predicate devices have similar principles of operation.

Technical Characteristics

The Anthos PhACTS 2010 and 2001 microplate reader and the predicate readers employ an automatic transport mechanism to bring the individual microplate wells into position for reading. The devices all employ Tungsten halogen lamp as the light source. All three devices use silicon-photodiodes to measure the light absorbance.

Summary of the Basis for the Finding of Substantial Equivalence

The Anthos PhACTS version readers use the same technique for the measurement of light absorbance and are equivalent to the predicate devices for its intended use. There is no substantial difference between the Anthos PhACTS version readers and their predicate devices in performance or technical characteristics. The Anthos PhACTS readers have the same intended use, indications for use, and the same principles of operation for its indications for use as the predicate devices.
