Intended Use
Immunoturbidometric assay for the quantitative in-vitro determination of Haptoglobin. Immunological latex agglutination test for the in vitro quantitative determination of haptoglobin in human scrum and plasma. Mcasurement of haptoglobin may aid in the diagnosis of hemolytic discases in which the red blood cells rupture and release hemoglobin) related to the formation of hemoglobinhaptoglohin complexes and ccrtain kidncy discascs.
Device Description
The Haptoglobin determination is based upon turbidimetric immunoinhibition (TINIA) using a serum or plasma blood sample. The sample containing Haptoglobin is transferred into a TRIS buffer solution (R₁ reagent). In the second step, an aliquot of solution of polyclonal anti-human Haptoglobin antibodies (R₂ reagent) is added to mixture of the first step. The antibody will bind to the Haptoglobin in the sample to form “aggregates” such that the amount of aggregate formed is proportionate to the amount of Haptoglobin present in the sample. The resulting agglutination complex is measured turbidimetrically whereby increased turbidity is reflected through an increase in optical density. Therefore, the amount of Haptoglobin in the sample is directly proportional to the amount of turbidity formed.

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

No.
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of haptoglobin, which aids in the diagnosis of certain diseases, but it does not directly treat or cure them.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the "Measurement of haptoglobin may aid in the diagnosis of hemolytic diseases... and certain kidney diseases." This directly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a laboratory assay that uses chemical reagents and measures optical density, indicating a hardware component (likely a spectrophotometer or similar device) is required for the measurement. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states "Immunoturbidometric assay for the quantitative in-vitro determination of Haptoglobin" and "Immunological latex agglutination test for the in vitro quantitative determination of haptoglobin in human scrum and plasma." The phrase "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a test performed on a biological sample (serum or plasma blood sample) using reagents to measure a substance (Haptoglobin) within that sample. This is the core function of an IVD.
  • Purpose: The intended use states that the measurement of haptoglobin "may aid in the diagnosis of hemolytic discases... and ccrtain kidncy discascs." This indicates the test is used to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

(a)
Identification. A haptoglobin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the haptoglobin (a protein that binds hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells) in serum. Measurement of haptoglobin may aid in the diagnosis of hemolytic diseases (diseases in which the red blood cells rupture and release hemoglobin) related to the formation of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes and certain kidney diseases.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.

Dear Ms. Koning:

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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the 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 Requlation (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 Reqister. 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.
