More Information

No
The summary describes a reagent and calibrator for quantitative determination of apolipoproteins on a clinical chemistry analyzer. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The performance studies focus on method comparison and imprecision, typical for laboratory assays, not AI/ML model performance metrics.

No
The device is described as a reagent for quantitative determination of apolipoproteins in serum or plasma, used with clinical chemistry analyzers, which is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tool, not a therapeutic device.

Yes

This device is intended for the "quantitative determination of human apolipoprotein A-1 in serum or plasma" and "quantitative determination of human apolipoprotein B in serum or plasma," which is a measurement used to aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a reagent intended for use with clinical chemistry analyzers, indicating it is a chemical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states the reagents are for the "quantitative determination of human apolipoprotein A-1 in serum or plasma" and "quantitative determination of human apolipoprotein B in serum or plasma." This indicates the device is used to analyze biological samples (serum or plasma) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description confirms the reagents are used "on Beckman's SYNCHRON LX Clinical Systems," which are laboratory analyzers designed for clinical testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe method comparisons with existing reagents and a nephelometric procedure, as well as imprecision and stability studies. These are typical evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices (K862019 and K862386) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used to demonstrate substantial equivalence for regulatory clearance of new IVDs.

The core function of analyzing biological samples to provide quantitative results for diagnostic purposes clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

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 results obtained from the Beckman Apolipoprotein Reagents (APA and APB) to the SYNCHRON LX Systems Apolipoprotein Reagents (ApoA and ApoB).
