Intended Use
ACE® Valproic Acid Reagent is intended for use in the quantitative determination of valproic acid in human serum. ACE® Valproic Acid Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of valproic acid in serum using the ACE® clinical chemistry analyzer.
Device Description
The ACE® Valproic Acid Reagent contains two reagents, an Antibody/Substrate reagent and an Enzyme Conjugate reagent. The assay uses specific antibodies to valproic acid and is based on the competition of an enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) labeled drug and the free drug from the sample, for a fixed amount of specific antibody binding sites. In the absence of free drug from the sample, the drug-labeled G6PDH is bound by the specific antibody and the enzyme activity is inhibited. This phenomenon creates a relationship between drug concentration in the sample and the enzyme activity. The enzyme G6PDH activity is determined bichromatically on the ACE® at 340/505 nm by measuring its ability to convert NAD* to NADH.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a chemical assay based on enzyme activity and antibody binding, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation. The performance studies focus on traditional analytical metrics like precision and correlation.

No
This device is a reagent intended for the quantitative determination of valproic acid in human serum, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is intended for the quantitative determination of valproic acid in human serum, which is a measurement used to aid in diagnosis and monitoring of medical conditions.

No

The device is a reagent kit containing chemical components, not software. It is used with a separate analyzer.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "quantitative determination of valproic acid in human serum." This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes a biological sample (serum) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status (valproic acid levels).
  • Device Description: The description details a chemical assay that uses reagents to measure a substance in a sample. This is consistent with the nature of IVD devices.
  • Performance Studies: The summary of performance studies mentions "within-run and between-run precision and method correlation," which are standard performance characteristics evaluated for IVD devices.
  • Predicate Device: The identification of a predicate device (K961988; Diagnostic Reagents, Inc. (DRI) - Valproic Acid Reagent) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are typically other legally marketed IVDs.

The fact that it does not mention image processing, AI/ML, specific anatomical sites, or patient age ranges does not preclude it from being an IVD. Many IVDs are chemical or biological assays that do not involve these aspects.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
