Intended Use
Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of ferritin in human serum and plasma. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" us intended for use on the Boehringer Mannheim Elecsys 2010 immunoassay analyzer.
Device Description
The Elecsys® Ferritin employs a sandwich test principle with monoclonal antibodies directed against ferritin and with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. Total duration of assay: 18 minutes. • 1st Incubation: 15 µl of sample a biotinylated monoclonal ferritin-specific antibody and a monoclonal ferritin-specific antibody labeled with a ruthenium complex react to form a sandwich complex. • 2nd Incubation: after the addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles, the complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin. • 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. • 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.

No
The description details a standard immunoassay using electrochemiluminescence and a calibration curve, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is an immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of ferritin, meaning it is used for diagnostic purposes by measuring a substance in a sample, not for treating a condition.

Yes
The device is an immunoassay for the quantitative determination of ferritin in human serum and plasma, which is used to provide information for diagnosis or monitoring of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly details a hardware-based immunoassay analyzer (Boehringer Mannheim Elecsys 2010) and the chemical reactions and physical processes involved in the assay. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of ferritin in human serum and plasma." The phrase "in vitro" is the key indicator that the test is performed outside of the living body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic.
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory test using biological samples (serum and plasma) and chemical reactions (immunoassay, electrochemiluminescence) to measure a substance (ferritin). This is characteristic of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (Enzymun-Test® Ferritin) is common in regulatory submissions for IVDs, indicating a comparison to a previously cleared device of the same type.

§ 866.5340 Ferritin immunological test system.

(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)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
