No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay system for quantitative determination of a biomarker, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No.
The device is used for in-vitro diagnostic testing to quantify βhCG levels from human serum, which provides diagnostic information rather than therapeutic treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the assay is for the "quantitative determination of total βhCG in human serum," which is a measurement used by healthcare professionals to diagnose various conditions, such as pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, or certain types of tumors.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system comprises both reagents and an analyzer, indicating a hardware component is essential to its function.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "for the quantitative determination of total βhCG in human serum". This indicates that the device is used to test samples taken from the human body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The description mentions "human serum" as the sample type, further supporting the in vitro nature of the test.
- Assay Type: The description of a "paramagnetic-particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay" is a common type of in vitro diagnostic test.
The information provided clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies
Precision studies: Within run precision ranges from 1.34% CV. Total imprecision ranges from 2.41% CV to 3.38% CV.
Accuracy: Dilution recovery studies performed by diluting 2 human serum samples from 1:1.2 to 1:32 with Access® Total BhCG Calibrator S0 results in mean recoveries of 97% and 98%.
Correlation: A comparison of hCG values from 119 human serum samples run in both the Access® Total BhCG assay and the ACS:180 Total hCG +B assay gives the following statistical data: slope = 0.914 and r= 0.98.
Analytical Sensitivity: The data supports the lowest detectable level of ßhCG distinguishable from zero (Access® Total BhCG Calibrator S0) is equal to 0.5 mIU/ml.
Analytical Specificity: No significant cross reactivity is observed with hLH; hFSH, or hTSH. The molar percent specificity of free ßhCG subunit (WHO 75/551) is approximately 200%.

ACS:180 Total hCG B+
3. Device Description
The Access® Total BhCG reagents and the Access® Immunoassay Analyzer comprise the Access® Immunoassay System for the quantitative determination of total βhCG levels in human serum.
4. Indications for Use
The Access® Total ßhCG assay is a paramagnetic particle chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of total ßhCG levels in human serum using the AccEss® Immunoassay System.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics 5.
The Access® Total BhCG assay and the ACS:180 Total hCG +B assay are for the measurement of total BhCG in human serum. Both tests are two-site immunoassays and utilize monoclonal antibodies for capture and polycloncal antibodies as the second antibody. The Access® Total βhCG assay uses a dioxetane based chemiluminescent substrate while the ACS:180 Total hCG +B Kit uses an acridinium ester as the chemiluminescent substrate. Both assays are standardized to the WHO 3rd IS 75/537 standard and have available on-line dilution protocols. The AccEss® Total βhCG assay range is 0.5 mlU/ml - 1000 mlU/ml while the ACS:180 Total hCG +B assay range is 2 mlU/ml - 1000 mlU/ml. The Access® Total BhCG assay utilizes multi-level calibrators to establish a calibration curve and the ACS:180 Total hCG +B assay utilizes a set of two calibrators to reestablish calibration curves which have been set by the manufacturer and stored on the ACC:180. The Access® Total BhCG assay has no discernible hook effect at 1,000,000 mlUml. In the ACS:180 Total hCG +B assay patient samples as high as 400,000 mlU/ml will assay greater than 1000 mlU/ml.
Summary of Studies ર.
Precision studies: Within run precision ranges from 1.34% CV. Total imprecision ranges from 2.41% CV to 3.38% CV.
Accuracy: Dilution recovery studies performed by diluting 2 human serum samples from 1:1.2 to 1:32 with Access® Total BhCG Calibrator S0 results in mean recoveries of 97% and 98%.
Correlation: A comparison of hCG values from 119 human serum samples run in both the Access® Total BhCG assay and the ACS:180 Total hCG +B assay gives the following statistical data: slope = 0.914 and r= 0.98.

Analytical Specificity: No significant cross reactivity is observed with hLH; hFSH, or hTSH. The molar percent specificity of free ßhCG subunit (WHO 75/551) is approximately 200%.
7. Conclusion
The Access® Total BhCG reagents when used with the Access® Immunoassay Analyzer are substantially equivalent to another test in commercial distribution for the measurement of total ßhCG in human serum.

INDICATIONS FOR USE STATEMENT
510(k) Number (if known):
Device Name: ACCESS® Total βhCG reagents on the ACCESS® Immunoassay Analyzer
Indications For Use:
The ACCESS® Total βhCG assay is a paramagnetic-particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of total βhCG in human serum, using the the ACCESS® Immunoassay System.
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone, produced by the placenta, with structural similarity to the pituitary hormones FSH, TSH, and LH. The alpha subunit (MW 15,000-20,000 daltons) is common to all of these hormones but the beta subunits differ, and confer immunological and biological specificity. Beta hCG (MW 25,000-30,000 daltons) shares several peptide sequences with beta LH, but has a unique carboxyl terminal region (1-3).
Shortly after implantation of a fertilized ovum into the uterine wall, the trophoblast begins to produce hCG. The hormone maintains steroid secretions of the corpus luteum until the placenta can do so (4). During a normal pregnancy, serum hCG is approximately 50 mlU/ml (IU/I) in the week after conception, and doubles every 1.5-3 days for the first six weeks (5). Levels continue to rise until the end of the first trimester, then gradually fall to a lower level for the remainder of the pregnancy. After delivery, hCG returns to
