Intended Use

mis kit is intended for separation and/or quantitations of serum proteins and immunoglobulins using agarose gel electrophoresis. mese tests can be useful in diagnosing various disease states which typically exhibit abnormal patterns. Examples of such diseases are inflamatory response, rheumatic fever, liver disease, protein-loss disorders, plasma cell dyscrasias, genetic deficiencies and gammopathies responsible for multiple myeloma, collagen disorders and other chronic infections.

§ 862.1630 Protein (fractionation) test system.

(a)
Identification. A protein (fractionation) test system is a device intended to measure protein fractions in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and other body fluids. Protein fractionations are used as an aid in recognizing abnormal proteins in body fluids and genetic variants of proteins produced in diseases with tissue destruction.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 862.9.
