No
The summary describes a reagent and calibrator used with an existing immunochemistry system for quantitative determination of light chains using rate nephelometry. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML. The performance studies focus on standard analytical validation metrics like method comparison, stability, and imprecision.

No
The device is intended for the quantitative determination of specific light chains, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is described as "intended for the quantitative determination of kappae light chains (free and bound) by rate nephelometry" and "quantitative determination of lambda light chains (free and bound) by rate nephelometry" in human serum and urine samples. These are measurements used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Reagent," which is a chemical substance used in a laboratory test, indicating it is a physical component and not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states the reagents are "intended for the quantitative determination of kappa light chains (free and bound)" and "intended for the quantitative determination of lambda light chains (free and bound)". This indicates the device is used to analyze a sample taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state.
  • Device Description: It further clarifies that the reagents are for use in "quantitative determination of kappa and lambda light chain concentrations respectively in human serum and urine samples". Serum and urine are biological specimens.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes method comparison, stability, and imprecision studies, which are typical performance evaluations for IVD devices.
  • Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices with K numbers (K884276A, K902484, K884597A) strongly suggests that this device is being submitted for regulatory review as an IVD, as predicate devices are used to demonstrate substantial equivalence for new IVDs.

All these points align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

The data in the Premarket Notification on safety and effectiveness supports a finding of Equivalence to other test systems already in commercial distribution. Equivalence is demonstrated through method comparison, stability, and imprecision studies that relate results obtained from the Beckman Reagents to the IMMAGE System Reagents.

§ 866.5550 Immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques both kappa and lambda types of light chain portions of immunoglobulin molecules in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. In some disease states, an excess of light chains are produced by the antibody-forming cells. These free light chains, unassociated with gamma globulin molecules, can be found in a patient's body fluids and tissues. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
