Intended Use
IMMULITE Toxoplasma Quantitative IgG is designed for the quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in human serum and is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the determination of serological status to Toxoplasma gondii.
Device Description
IMMULITE® Toxoplasma Quantitative IgG is a solid-phase, two-step, chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay. The solid phase, a polystyrene bead enclosed within an IMMULITE® Test Unit, is coated with a partially purified Toxoplasma gondii antigen, strain RH. Prediluted patient sample (1-in-21 dilution) and a protein-based buffer are simultaneously introduced into the Test Unit, and incubated for approximately 30 minutes at 37°C with intermittent agitation. During this time, toxoplasma IgG in the sample binds to the toxoplasma antigen-coated bead. Unbound serum is then removed by a centrifugal wash. An alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is introduced, and the Test Unit is incubated for another 30-minute cycle. The unbound enzyme conjugate is removed by a centrifugal wash. Substrate is then added, and the Test Unit is incubated for an additional 10 minutes. The chemiluminescent substrate, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane, undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline phosphatase to yield an unstable intermediate. The continuous production of this intermediate results in the sustained emission of light, thus improving precision by providing a window for multiple readings. The bound complex - and thus the photon output, as measured by the luminometer - is directly related to the quantity of toxoplasma IgG in the sample. A quantitative result in IU/mL is then obtained by comparing the patient result to a stored Master Curve, and which is adjusted to the response of each analyzer.

No
The device description details a standard chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay process. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or any description of training/test sets typically associated with AI/ML models. The performance studies compare the device to predicate devices using standard clinical metrics, not AI/ML-specific metrics.

No.

The device is designed for in vitro diagnostic use to detect antibodies, aiding in the determination of serological status; it does not treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the determination of serological status to Toxoplasma gondii." This clearly indicates its role in diagnosing or aiding in the diagnosis of a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, solid-phase immunoassay involving chemical reactions, incubation, washing, and measurement of light emission using a luminometer. This indicates a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not a software-only device.

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 "intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use".
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory test performed on a human sample (serum) to detect a specific analyte (IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii). This is a hallmark of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes clinical performance studies comparing the device to other established diagnostic assays (VIDAS® and IMx® Toxoplasma IgG assays), which is a requirement for demonstrating the validity of an IVD.
  • Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices (VIDAS® Toxo IgG and IMx® Toxo IgG) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used in the regulatory submission process for new IVDs.

§ 866.3780

Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies toToxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identifyToxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis caused by the parasitic protozoanToxoplasma gondii and provides epidemiological information on this disease. Congenital toxoplasmosis is characterized by lesions of the central nervous system, which if undetected and untreated may lead to brain defects, blindness, and death of an unborn fetus. The disease is characterized in children by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
