Intended Use
Immunological in vitro immunoturbidometric test for the quantitative determination of x -1antitrypsin in human serum and plasma. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of several conditions including juvenile and adult cirrhosis of the liver. In addition, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency has been associated with pulmonary emphysema.
Device Description
The α -1-antitrypsin determination is based upon turbidimetric immunoinhibition (TINIA) using a serum or plasma blood sample. The sample containing α -1-antitrypsin is transferred into a TRIS buffer solution (R₁ reagent). In the second step, an aliquot of solution of polyclonal anti-human α -1-antitrypsin antibodies (R₂ reagent) is added to mixture of the first step. The antibody will bind to the α -1-antitrypsin in the sample to form “aggregates” such that the amount of aggregate formed is proportionate to the amount of α -1-antitrypsin 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 α-1-antitrypsin in the sample is directly proportional to the amount of turbidity formed.

No
The device description details a standard turbidimetric immunoassay method, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test for quantitative determination of a specific substance in human samples, used to aid in diagnosis, not to provide therapy or treatment.

Yes
The device is described as an "Immunological in vitro immunoturbidometric test for the quantitative determination of x -1antitrypsin in human serum and plasma" and states that "The measurements aid in the diagnosis of several conditions including juvenile and adult cirrhosis of the liver." This clearly indicates its use in diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a laboratory-based in vitro diagnostic test that utilizes chemical reagents and measures turbidity. This involves physical components and processes beyond software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states it is an "Immunological in vitro immunoturbidometric test for the quantitative determination of x -1antitrypsin in human serum and plasma." The phrase "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Sample Type: The device uses "human serum and plasma," which are biological samples taken from the body but tested outside of it. This is characteristic of IVDs.
  • Purpose: The test is used to "aid in the diagnosis of several conditions," which is a primary function of IVDs.
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based test using reagents (TRIS buffer solution, polyclonal anti-human α -1-antitrypsin antibodies) to analyze a sample and produce a result (turbidity measurement). This is consistent with how IVDs function.

The resulting agglutination complex is measured turbidimetrically whereby increased turbidity is reflected through an increase in optical density. Therefore, the amount of alpha-1-antitrypsin in the sample is directly proportional to the amount of turbidity formed.

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 of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, goodmanufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions aqainst 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 regulation 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.
