No
The summary describes a fluorescence immunoassay system and analyzer with standard analytical and clinical performance data. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational methods beyond basic data analysis for calculating metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and correlation.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test kit used to aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by measuring specific biomarkers, not for direct therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the kit is "to aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Test Kit" used "with the Alpha Dx Analyzer," indicating it is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) system that includes both physical reagents (the test kit) and a hardware component (the analyzer) for fluorescence immunoassays. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is for "rapid, quantitative and simultaneous measurement of myoglobin, creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (TnI) in whole blood or serum to aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)." This involves testing biological samples (whole blood or serum) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it is a "fluorescence immunoassay for the rapid measurement of myoglobin, CK, CK-MB and TnI in human whole blood or serum." This further reinforces the in vitro nature of the testing.
  • Anatomical Site: The "Not Applicable (In vitro diagnostic)" entry also indicates it's an IVD.
