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.

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is used for in-vitro separation and quantitation of serum proteins and immunoglobulins to aid in diagnosing various disease states; it does not directly treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the kit and tests "can be useful in diagnosing various disease states."

No

The summary describes an "Electrophoresis System" which is a hardware-based laboratory technique for separating molecules. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the kit is for "separation and/or quantitations of serum proteins and immunoglobulins using agarose gel electrophoresis." It also mentions that these tests are "useful in diagnosing various disease states." This clearly indicates that the device is intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (serum) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: While the description is brief ("SPIFETM Electrophoresis System"), electrophoresis systems are commonly used in laboratory settings for analyzing biological samples.

The key elements of the intended use align perfectly with the definition of an IVD, which is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Franks:

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, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act 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 requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਖ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, 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 regulation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. 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 requlations.
