The summary describes a standard ELISA assay and does not mention any AI or ML components.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic ELISA used for quantitative determination of lipoprotein(a) for diagnostic significance, not for treating a disease or condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the measurement of Lp(a) "is of diagnostic significance when assessing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease". Additionally, the "Device Description" explicitly refers to Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ as an "in vitro diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay."
No
The device description clearly states it is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which is a laboratory test involving physical reagents and procedures, not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states "The measurement of Lp(a), in conjunction with other lipoprotein tests, is of diagnostic significance when assessing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in specific populations." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
- Device Description: The description states "Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ is an apolipoprotein(a) [Apo(a)] isoform independent in vitro diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)..." The term "in vitro diagnostic" is directly used.
- Method of Analysis: The device analyzes human serum and plasma, which are biological samples taken from the body, but the analysis is performed in vitro (outside the body) using an ELISA method.
These points strongly confirm that the Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ is an apolipoprotein(a) [Apo(a)] isoform independent in vitro diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) intended for the quantitiative assessment of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in human serum or plasma. The measurement of Lp(a) in conjunction with other diagnostic tests for atherosclerosis is of diagnostic significance when assessing cardiovascular disease. This test utilizes a sandwich ELISA format in which the Lp(a) particle is captured with a specific anti-Apo(a) monoclonal antibody and, after washing away nonbound serum or plasma components, is detected with a peroxidase conjugated anti-apolipoprotein B [Apo B] polyclonal antibody. This format is designed such that plasma or serum Lp(a) concentrations are accurately quantified regardless of Apo(a) isoform. Apo(a) isoform independence is an important consideration when measuring Lp(a) levels because Apo(a) isoform dependent assays tend to underestimate concentrations of individuals with low molecular weight isoforms who have elevated Lp(a) concentrations. These false negative results lead to potential misclassification of individuals at increased risk of atherosclerotic disease.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ shows no cross-reactivity with plasminogen up to 1 g/L, a protein structurally similar to Apo(a). This assay also shows no cross-reactivity with the Apo B-containing lipoprotein particles, low density lipoproteins (LDL) up to 10 ofL LDL protein or very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) up to 2 g/L VLDL protein. Triglycerides up to 8.9 g/L, hemoglobin up to 5 g/L, and bilirubin up to 0.05 g/L do not interfere with the test. The minimum Lp(a) level distinguishable from the 0 mg/dL (0 nmol/L) Calibrator is 0.3 mg/dL (0.72 nmol/L). Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ is highly reproducible with total (combined intra- and interassay) coefficient of variation (CV) ranging from 6.4% to 12.8% for samples ranging from 8.8 to 34.8 mg/dL (as determined by NCCLS document EP5-T2). Apo(a) phenotype heterogeneity does not affect assay linearity as indicated by a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.997 or better obtained for five different phenotypes (spanning the entire range of molecular weights) tested.
Numerous prospective and retrospective studies have shown the strong association of elevated Lp(a) levels with atherosclerosis as manifested by cardiovascular disease (i.e, coronary heart disease and carotid artery disease). Two clinical evaluations of Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ have shown that Lp(a) levels >20 mg/dL independently increased the odds to have had: a myocardial infarction by 2.88-fold, >50% stenosis of at least one coronary artery by 2.88-fold, cerebrovascular disease by 20.3-fold, and carotid artery stenosis (≥20%) by 27.6-fold. These findings were confirmed in a cross-sectional cohort study of a well characterized U.S. population. Specifically, a 1.55-fold increased odds to have had carotid artery disease (≥50% stenosis) and a 1.5-fold increased odds to have had coronary heart disease were observed in the latter study when Lp(a) levels exceeded 20 mg/dL.
These studies also showed that odds ratios increased when Lp(a) measurement was used in conjunction with the measurement of Apo B or LDL cholesterol. Specifically, at elevated Lp(a) and Apo B levels (>20 mg/dL and >178 mg/dL, respectively), the odds of having had a myocardial infarction increased from 2.88 to 3.86 while the odds of having had >50% stenosis of at least one coronary artery increased from 2.88 to 3.52. When both Lp(a) and LDL cholesterol levels were elevated (defined as >20 mg/dL and >130 mg/dL, respectively), the odds of having had ischemic cerebrovascular disease increased from 20.3 to 21.9. These findings were confirmed in a U.S. study, which showed that when both Lp(a) and LDL cholesterol levels were elevated, the odds increased from 1,5 to 1.61 to have had coronary heart disease and from 1.65 to 2.29 to have had carotid artery stenosis (≥50%).

Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ is an apolipoprotein(a) [Apo(a)] isoform independent in vitro diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) intended for the quantitiative assessment of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in human serum or plasma. The measurement of Lp(a) in conjunction with other diagnostic tests for atherosclerosis is of diagnostic significance when assessing cardiovascular disease. This test utilizes a sandwich ELISA format in which the Lp(a) particle is captured with a specific anti-Apo(a) monoclonal antibody and, after washing away nonbound serum or plasma components, is detected with a peroxidase conjugated anti-apolipoprotein B [Apo B] polyclonal antibody. This format is designed such that plasma or serum Lp(a) concentrations are accurately quantified regardless of Apo(a) isoform. Apo(a) isoform independence is an important consideration when measuring Lp(a) levels because Apo(a) isoform dependent assays tend to underestimate concentrations of individuals with low molecular weight isoforms who have elevated Lp(a) concentrations. These false negative results lead to potential misclassification of individuals at increased risk of atherosclerotic disease.
A number of clinical methods and in vitro diagnostic products for the determination of Apo B containing lipoprotein particles are currently in use to diagnose cardiovascular disease. Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ determines Lp(a) concentrations, a subset of Apo B containing lipoprotein particles, by capturing Lp(a) on a solid phase through its Apo(a) moiety and quantifying its Apo B moiety. Both the Roche Reagent for Apolipoprotein B and the Atlantic Antibodies SPQ™ Test System for Apolipoprotein B determine concentrations of all Apo B containing lipoproteins including Lp(a). Substantial equivalence was shown to these lipoprotein test systems (21 CFR 866,5600) for the measurement of Apo B containing lipoproteins in human serum or plasma. Specifically. Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ has equivalent clinical utility to Roche's Reagent for Apolipoprotein B in identifying individuals with cardiovascular disease. The relationship between Lp(a) measurement and measurement of all Apo B-containing lipoprotein particles was confirmed using the Atlantic Antibodies SPQ™ Test System for Apolipoprotein B.
Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ shows no cross-reactivity with plasminogen up to 1 g/L, a protein structurally similar to Apo(a). This assay also shows no cross-reactivity with the Apo Bcontaining lipoprotein particles, low density lipoproteins (LDL) up to 10 ofL LDL protein or very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) up to 2 g/L VLDL protein. Triglycerides up to 8.9 g/L, hemoglobin up to 5 g/L, and bilirubin up to 0.05 g/L do not interfere with the test. The minimum Lp(a) level distinguishable from the 0 mg/dL (0 nmol/L) Calibrator is 0.3 mg/dL (0.72 nmol/L).

(spanning the entire range of molecular weights) tested.
Numerous prospective and retrospective studies have shown the strong association of elevated Lp(a) levels with atherosclerosis as manifested by cardiovascular disease (i.e, coronary heart disease and carotid artery disease). Two clinical evaluations of Apo-Tek Lp(a)™ have shown that Lp(a) levels >20 mg/dL independently increased the odds to have had: a myocardial infarction by 2.88-fold, >50% stenosis of at least one coronary artery by 2.88-fold, cerebrovascular disease by 20.3-fold, and carotid artery stenosis (≥20%) by 27.6-fold. These findings were confirmed in a cross-sectional cohort study of a well characterized U.S. population. Specifically, a 1.55-fold increased odds to have had carotid artery disease (≥50% stenosis) and a 1.5-fold increased odds to have had coronary heart disease were observed in the latter study when Lp(a) levels exceeded 20 mg/dL.
These studies also showed that odds ratios increased when Lp(a) measurement was used in conjunction with the measurement of Apo B or LDL cholesterol. Specifically, at elevated Lp(a) and Apo B levels (>20 mg/dL and >178 mg/dL, respectively), the odds of having had a myocardial infarction increased from 2.88 to 3.86 while the odds of having had >50% stenosis of at least one coronary artery increased from 2.88 to 3.52. When both Lp(a) and LDL cholesterol levels were elevated (defined as >20 mg/dL and >130 mg/dL, respectively), the odds of having had ischemic cerebrovascular disease increased from 20.3 to 21.9. These findings were confirmed in a U.S. study, which showed that when both Lp(a) and LDL cholesterol levels were elevated, the odds increased from 1,5 to 1.61 to have had coronary heart disease and from 1.65 to 2.29 to have had carotid artery stenosis (≥50%). Therefore, Lp(a) measurement, in conjunction with measurement of Apo B or LDL cholesterol, is of even greater diagnostic significance when assessing cardiovascular disease (i.e., coronary heart disease or carotid artery stenosis) than any single lipid analyte, thus supporting the indications for the use of this device.
In summary, Lp(a) is an important, independent marker of atherosclerosis, a systemic disease, manifested by cardiovascular disease (which includes coronary heart disease and carotid artery stenosis). Measurement of Lp(a) plasma or serum levels by Apo-Tek Lp(a)™, an Apo(a) isoform independent ELISA, provides the clinician with a valuable aid in assessing atherosclerotic disease and its manifestations when used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests for this disease.
