Intended Use
Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone in human serum and plasma.
Device Description
Sandwich principle. Total duration of assay: 18 minutes. • 1st incubation (9min.): 20 µL of sample, a biotinylated monoclonal LH-specific antibody (75 µL) and a monoclonal LH-specific antibody labeled with a ruthenium complex (75 µL)** react to form a sandwich complex. • 2nd incubation (9min.): after addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles (30 µL), the complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin. **Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) complex (Ru(bpy)3)2+) •The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier (0.4 second read frame). •Results are determined via a calibration curve which is instrument-specifically generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent bar code.
More Information

No
The description details a standard immunoassay based on chemical reactions and photometric measurement, with results determined via a calibration curve. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational learning processes.

No
This device is for in vitro quantitative determination of a hormone, indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is an "Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone in human serum and plasma," which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical immunoassay process involving reagents, microparticles, magnetic capture, and chemiluminescent emission measured by a photomultiplier. This indicates a hardware-based system, 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" explicitly states "Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone in human serum and plasma." The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based assay using biological samples (serum and plasma) and reagents to measure a substance (luteinizing hormone) outside of the living body. This is the core function of an IVD.
  • Performance Studies: The performance characteristics described (Precision, Lower Detection Limit, Linearity, Method Comparison, Interfering substances, Specificity) are all standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K900799) and name (Enzymun® LH Assay) strongly suggests that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device, which is a common pathway for regulatory submission of new IVDs.

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