More Information

No
The summary describes a reagent kit for a standard immunochemistry system using rate nephelometry, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is used for the quantitative determination of transferrin concentrations, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is intended for the quantitative determination of transferrin concentrations in human serum samples, which is a measurement used to aid in the diagnosis or monitoring of clinical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "reagent kit" containing a cartridge of reagent, evaporation caps, and a barcode card, which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of transferrin concentrations in human serum samples." This involves testing biological samples (serum) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: It describes a "reagent" used in conjunction with a "system" for performing this test. Reagents used for analyzing biological samples are a core component of IVDs.
  • Performance Studies: The document details performance studies like method comparison, stability, and imprecision, which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability.
  • Predicate Device: It lists a "Predicate Device" which is another "Immunochemistry Systems TRF Transferrin Reagent." Predicate devices are used in the regulatory process for IVDs to demonstrate substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices.

All of these points strongly indicate that this device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

Summary of Performance Studies

The data in the Premarket Notification on safety and effectiveness supports a finding of substantial equivalence to chemistry test systems already in commercial distribution. Equivalence is demonstrated through method comparison, stability, and imprecision experiments that relate results obtained from Beckman's Immunochemistry System TRF Transferrin (on ARRAY) Reagent to the IMMAGE System TRF Reagent.

§ 866.5880 Transferrin immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A transferrin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the transferrin (an iron-binding and transporting serum protein) in serum, plasma, and other body fluids. Measurement of transferrin levels aids in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection, and red blood cell disorders, such as iron deficiency anemia.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
