Intended Use
The Elecsys FT3 is an in vitro quantitative determination of free triiodothyronine (FT3) in human serum and plasma. Triiodothyronine is one of the thyroid hormones present in serum which regulate metabolism.
Device Description
The Elecsys FT3 employs a competitive test principle with polyclonal antibodies directed against T3 and with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. 1st Incubation: Sample (30 µl) and a specific anti-T3 antibody labeled with a ruthenium complex. 2nd Incubation: After addition of biotinylated T3 and streptavidin-coated microparticles, the still-free binding sites of the labeled antibody become occupied, with formation of an antibody-hapten complex. The entire complex is bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin. The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode.

No
The device description details a standard immunoassay using electrochemiluminescence detection, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics.

No
This device is for in vitro quantitative determination of free triiodothyronine (FT3) in human serum and plasma, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device performs an "in vitro quantitative determination of free triiodothyronine (FT3) in human serum and plasma" to measure a substance that "regulate[s] metabolism," which is a diagnostic measurement.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical in vitro diagnostic test kit involving reagents, microparticles, and electrochemiluminescence detection, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "in vitro quantitative determination of free triiodothyronine (FT3) in human serum and plasma." This means the device is used to test samples taken from the human body (in vitro) to measure a specific substance (FT3).
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based test principle involving chemical reactions and detection methods applied to the sample. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies like precision, sensitivity, assay range, and method comparison, which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (Enzymun-Test® FT3) is common in regulatory submissions for IVD devices, where a new device is compared to an already approved one.

All these elements strongly indicate that the Elecsys FT3 is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
