The summary describes a traditional immunoassay method for measuring valproic acid levels and does not mention any AI or ML components.
No
This device measures valproic acid levels in serum, which is used for diagnosis and monitoring therapy, not for directly treating a condition.
Yes
The device is described as being used "in the diagnosis and treatment of valproic acid overdose and in monitoring levels of valproic acid to ensure appropriate therapy," which directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device is a reagent set used to measure valproic acid in serum, indicating it is a chemical reagent product and not a software-only medical device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is "intended to measure valproic acid... in serum." Measuring substances in bodily fluids like serum is a core function of IVDs.
- Diagnosis and Treatment: The intended use also states that the measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of valproic acid overdose and in monitoring levels of valproic acid to ensure appropriate therapy." This directly relates the device's function to medical diagnosis and treatment decisions, which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
- Device Description: The description mentions an "antibody-antigen reaction scheme," which is a common principle used in many IVD tests to detect specific substances in biological samples.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" which is another Valproic Acid Reagent Set (Abbott Laboratories Valproic Acid TDx Reagent Set) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used in the regulatory process for new IVDs.
All these points align with the definition and purpose of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Patient samples, ranging from 13.63 to 131.08 ug/mL, were assayed using the Sigma Diagnostics Valproic Acid Reagents and the Abbott TDx Valproic Acid Reagent Pack. Results of the regression analysis gave a correlation coefficient of 0.996.
Precision studies indicate acceptable values can be obtained to differentiate between subtherapeutic, therapeutic, and toxic levels.
Specificity of the monoclonal antibody used was assessed and found to be acceptable.

§ 862.3645 Neuroleptic drugs radioreceptor assay test system.
(a)
Identification. A neuroleptic drugs radioceptor assay test system is a device intended to measure in serum or plasma the dopamine receptor blocking activity of neuroleptic drugs and their active metabolites. A neuroleptic drug has anti-psychotic action affecting principally psychomotor activity, is generally without hypnotic effects, and is a tranquilizer. Measurements obtained by this device are used to aid in determining whether a patient is taking the prescribed dosage level of such drugs.(b)

Dear Dr. Gilbert:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the (Act) . . general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
VALPROIC ACID FPIA REAGENT SET AND CALIBRATORS
JUL 30 1997
Valproic acid (Depakene®) is an anticonvulsant drug used both alone and in combination with other drugs in the treatment of simple (petit mal) and complex absence seizures. The drug is also helpful in the treatment of myoclonic and tonic seizures; however, it is less effective in controlling partial seizures.
The drug is rapidly and completely absorbed, peaking in approximately four hours. The halflife of valproic acid is approximately 15 hours; however, this is reduced in patients taking other anticonvulsants. The relationship between dosage, serum levels and clinical effectiveness for valproic acid has not been clearly defined. Therefore, serum concentrations should be monitored in order to achieve adequate seizure control while maintaining minimal serum levels. A review of the different methods used for this purpose was conducted.
The method of testing used by Sigma Diagnostics follows closely the antibody-antigen reaction scheme first introduced by Berson and Yallow (1) with a monitoring method employed by Dandlicker, et al.(2)
- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the chemicals used in preparing the reagents are readily available from the manufacturers and are routinely furnished to customers.
Patient samples, ranging from 13.63 to 131.08 ug/mL, were assayed using the Sigma Diagnostics Valproic Acid Reagents and the Abbott TDx Valproic Acid Reagent Pack. Results of the regression analysis gave a correlation coefficient of 0.996.
Precision studies indicate acceptable values can be obtained to differentiate between subtherapeutic, therapeutic, and toxic levels.
Specificity of the monoclonal antibody used was assessed and found to be acceptable.
The safety and effectiveness of the Sigma Diagnostics Valproic Acid FPIA Reagent Set is demonstrated by its substantial equivalency to the Abbott Laboratories Valproic Acid TDx Reagent Set.
