Intended Use
The quantitative determination of thyroglobulin autoantibodies in human serum or plasma by a microplate enzymeimmunoassay. Measurements of Tg autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of certain thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto, Graves, and nontoxic goiter.
Device Description
The Monobind method is based on ELISA technology utilizing the streptavidin-blotin reaction to effect separation. Upon mixing blotinylated thyroglobulin antigen, and a serum containing the autoantibody (anti-Tg), reaction results between the biotinylated thyroglobulin antigen and the antibodies to form an immune complex. Simultaneously, the complex is deposited to the well through the high affinity reaction of streptavidin, coated on the well, and biotinylated thyroglobulin antigen. After incubation is complete, decantation or aspiration separates the unbound components. The enzyme linked species specific antibody (anti-h-igG) is then added to the microwells. The anti-h-lgG enzyme conjugate that binds to the immobilized immune complex in a second incubation are separated from unreacted material by a wash step. The enzyme activity in this fraction Is directly proportional to the antibody concentration in the specimen. By utilizing several different serum references of known antibody activity, a reference curve can be generated from which the antibody activity of an unknown can be ascertained.

No
The device description and performance studies detail a standard ELISA assay based on chemical reactions and optical density measurements, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is used for the "quantitative determination of thyroglobulin autoantibodies" to "aid in the diagnosis of certain thyroid diseases", making it a diagnostic device rather than a therapeutic one.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Measurements of Tg autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of certain thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto, Graves, and nontoxic goiter." This direct link to aiding in disease diagnosis classifies it as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines a laboratory-based ELISA assay involving physical reagents, incubation steps, and measurement of enzyme activity, indicating it is a hardware-based diagnostic kit, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "The quantitative determination of thyroglobulin autoantibodies in human serum or plasma by a microplate enzymeimmunoassay." This clearly indicates the device is used to test human specimens (serum or plasma) in vitro (outside the body) to obtain diagnostic information (determining the presence and quantity of autoantibodies).
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based assay using ELISA technology to analyze components of a human sample. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing biological specimens from human populations (normal and disease states) and comparing the results to a reference method. This is a standard practice for validating the performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" which is another "anti-thyroglobulin ELISA test" further confirms that this device falls within the category of IVDs. Predicate devices are used in regulatory submissions for new IVDs to demonstrate substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices.

In summary, the device's purpose, methodology, and the context of its performance evaluation all point to it being an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Substantial equivalency was based on clinical comparison (linear regression), using 82 biological specimens from normal and disease states populations. The disease states Included; Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves Disease, thyroid nodules as well as thyroid carcinoma. The mean values for reference method and this method are 419.2 IU/ml and 415.6 IU/ml respectively. The equation to a straight-line [ v= 9.79+0.969 (x) ] and correlation coefficient (0.995) Indicates good method agreement.

In addition, linearity studies showed an average 98.7% recovery when specimens were diluted and compared to the dose response curve.

§ 866.5870 Thyroid autoantibody immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A thyroid autoantibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the thyroid autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues). Measurement of thyroid autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of certain thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's disease (chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis), nontoxic goiter (enlargement of thyroid gland), Grave's disease (enlargement of the thyroid gland with protrusion of the eyeballs), and cancer of the thyroid.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Sir:

Monobind Inc., registration number 2020726, plans to introduce into commercial distribution an ELISA kit for the determination of thyroglobulin autoantibodies in human serum or plasma.

The proprietary name is Anti-Thyroglobulin (Tg) Microplate ELISA and the usual name is Anti-Ta ELISA. This device classification name is - thyroid autoantibody immunological test system - product code DDC (per 21 CRF section 866.5870).

This device is substantially equivalent to the Biomerica anti-thyroglobulin ELISA test, which predicates the new device.

The contact Individual for this submission is Dr. Frederick R. Jerome.

The Monobind method is based on ELISA technology utilizing the streptavidin-blotin reaction to effect separation. Upon mixing blotinylated thyroglobulin antigen, and a serum containing the autoantibody (anti-Tg), reaction results between the biotinylated thyroglobulin antigen and the antibodies to form an immune complex. Simultaneously, the complex is deposited to the well through the high affinity reaction of streptavidin, coated on the well, and biotinylated thyroglobulin antigen. After incubation is complete, decantation or aspiration separates the unbound components. The enzyme linked species specific antibody (anti-h-igG) is then added to the microwells. The anti-h-lgG enzyme conjugate that binds to the immobilized immune complex in a second incubation are separated from unreacted material by a wash step. The enzyme activity in this fraction Is directly proportional to the antibody concentration in the specimen. By utilizing several different serum references of known antibody activity, a reference curve can be generated from which the antibody activity of an unknown can be ascertained.

The intended use of the device: The quantitative determination of thyroglobulin (Tg) autoantibodies in human serum or plasma by a microplate enzymeimmunoassay.

The technological characteristics of the new device compared to the predicate device are very similar. This includes ELISA technology with highly purified thyroglobulin antigen. and diluted human serum prepared calibrators (standardized against the same international reference material 1st IRP 65/93). A difference lles in the use of anti-hlgG -HRP (Monobind method) versus HRP-Protein A (Biomerica method) to expose the antibody activity on the solid phase. However, both reagents' function is to detect anti-h-IgG on the solid phase. The enzyme and substrate systems are the same.

Substantial equivalency was based on clinical comparison (linear regression), using 82 biological specimens from normal and disease states populations. The disease states Included; Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves Disease, thyroid nodules as well as thyroid carcinoma. The mean values for reference method and this method are 419.2 IU/ml and 415.6 IU/ml respectively. The equation to a straight-line [ v= 9.79+0.969 (x) ] and correlation coefficient (0.995) Indicates good method agreement.

In addition, linearity studies showed an average 98.7% recovery when specimens were diluted and compared to the dose response curve.
