Device Description
The SeraQuest Anti-dsDNA test is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, in three thirty minute incubations. It has been developed to detect IgG antibodies which are directed against dsDNA, in human serum. The Calibrators in the SeraQuest Anti-dsDNA test set have been assigned IU/ml values which are traceable to the WHO First International Standard for Anti-Double-Stranded DNA, Wo-80, and Index values which based on an in-house standard anti-dsDNA serum. Test results are reported as IU/ml or as Index values. Diluted samples are incubated in wells coated with dsDNA antibodies against ds DNA (if present) are immobilized in the wells. Residual sample is eliminated by washing and conjugate (enzyme-labeled antibodies to human IgG) is added and incubated. If IgG antibodies to DSDNA are present, the conjugate will be immobilized in the wells. Residual conjugate is eliminated by washing and draining, and the enzyme substrate is added and incubated. In the presence of the enzyme, the substrate is converted to a yellow end-product which is read photometrically at 405 nm.

No
The device description details a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) process for detecting antibodies. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis beyond photometric reading and calculation of values based on standards. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is for in vitro diagnostic use, as an aid in diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by detecting antibodies, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "an aid in the diagnosis systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)".

No

The device description clearly outlines a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) which involves physical components like microwells, reagents (conjugate, substrate), and requires incubations and photometric reading. It also mentions use with a "semi-automated fluid handler," indicating hardware involvement. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only." and "For in vitro diagnostic use only."
  • Nature of the Test: The device performs a test on human serum (a biological sample taken from the body) to detect specific antibodies. This is a hallmark of in vitro diagnostics, which are tests performed outside of the living body.
  • Purpose: The test is intended as an "aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)." Diagnostic tests are a core function of IVDs.

(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)

Description:

The SeraQuest Anti-dsDNA test is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, in three thirty minute incubations. It has been developed to detect IgG antibodies which are directed against dsDNA, in human serum.

Test results are reported as IU/ml or as Index values.

Principle:

Diluted samples are incubated in wells coated with dsDNA antibodies against ds DNA (if present) are immobilized in the wells. Residual sample is eliminated by washing and conjugate (enzyme-labeled antibodies to human IgG) is added and incubated. If IgG antibodies to DSDNA are present, the conjugate will be immobilized in the wells. Residual conjugate is eliminated by washing and draining, and the enzyme substrate is added and incubated.

Dear Mr. Cort:

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.

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 requlation (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 requlation 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 Requlations.
