Intended Use
Immunological.in. vitro immunoturbidometric.test for the quantitative determination of ferritin.in . .... human serum and plasma using clinical-chemistry analyzers.
Device Description
The Ferritin determination is based upon turbidimetric immunoinhibition (TINIA) using a serum or plasma blood sample. The sample containing ferritin is transferred into a TRIS buffer solution (R₁ reagent). In the second step, an aliquot of solution containing fine latex particles coated with polyclonal anti-human ferritin antibodies (R₂ reagent) is added to mixture of the first step. The antibody-coated particles will bind to the ferritin in the sample to form "aggregates" such that the amount of aggregate formed is proportionate to the amount of ferritin present in the sample. The resulting agglutination complex is measured turbidimetrically whereby increased turbidity is reflected through an increase in optical density. Therefore, the amount of ferritin in the sample is directly proportional to the amount of turbidity formed.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a standard immunoturbidimetric assay based on chemical reactions and optical density measurements. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational algorithms beyond basic data processing for calculating results from the measured turbidity. The performance studies also focus on traditional analytical performance metrics.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative determination of ferritin in human serum and plasma, used for diagnostic purposes. It does not provide any therapy or treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states, "For diagnostic purposes, the ferritin findings should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examination and other findings." This clearly indicates its intended use in diagnostics.

No

The device description clearly outlines a laboratory-based immunoassay using reagents and a clinical-chemistry analyzer, indicating it is a hardware-dependent in vitro diagnostic device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "in vitro immunoturbidometric test for the quantitative determination of ferritin in human serum and plasma". This clearly indicates the device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body outside of the body.
  • Sample Type: The device uses "human serum and plasma", which are biological specimens from the human body.
  • Purpose: The purpose is the "quantitative determination of ferritin", which is a specific analyte in the human body.
  • Diagnostic Purpose: The text states "For diagnostic purposes, the ferritin findings should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examination and other findings." This confirms the results are intended to be used in the diagnostic process.
  • Method: The method described (immunoturbidimetric test) is a common technique used in in vitro diagnostics.

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

(a)
Identification. A ferritin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the ferritin (an iron-storing protein) in serum and other body fluids. Measurements of ferritin aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron metabolism, such as hemochromatosis (iron overload) and iron deficiency amemia.(b)
