No
The summary describes a latex slide test kit for detecting rheumatoid factor, which is a traditional laboratory method and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for detecting a marker of rheumatoid arthritis, not for treating the condition.

Yes
The Intended Use / Indications for Use section states that the device "is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis," which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is a "test kit" comprised of physical components like "RF Latex Reagent, RF Positive Control. Negative Control and Glycine/Saline Buffer". This indicates it is a hardware-based diagnostic test, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of rheumatoid factor in human serum." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum) in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is a "test kit" comprised of reagents and controls used to perform a test on a biological sample.
  • Aid in Diagnosis: The intended use also states it's an "aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis," which is a common purpose of IVD devices.

The information provided clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Substantial equivalency was demonstrated by method comparison. Correlation was performed between the two test kits with a correlation coefficient of 0.998 and a regression equation of Y=1.003X - 2.82.

In addition, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and interference studies were performed on RaPET® RF. Results of these tests were found to be acceptable.

§ 866.5775 Rheumatoid factor immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A rheumatoid factor immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the rheumatoid factor (antibodies to immunoglobulins) in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. Measurement of rheumatoid factor may aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Description of Device

The device test kit is comprised of RF Latex Reagent, RF Positive Control. Negative Control and Glycine/Saline Buffer for performing semi-quantitative testing.

Intended Use of Device

RaPET® RF is intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of rheumatoid factor in human serum. The latex slide test is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Comparison of Devices

Both RF latex methods employ latex beads coated with human gamma alobulin which agalutinate in the presence rheumatoid arthritis serum.

Performance Data

Substantial equivalency was demonstrated by method comparison. Correlation was performed between the two test kits with a correlation coefficient of 0.998 and a regression equation of Y=1.003X - 2.82.

In addition, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and interference studies were performed on RaPET® RF. Results of these tests were found to be acceptable.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

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.
