1. For in vitro diagnostic use only. 2. For the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to Sm in human serum by enzyme immunoassay. 3. For use as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). 4. For manual use, or for use with the HyPrep System Plus semi-automated fluid handler.
Device Description
The SeraQuest Anti-Sm 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 Sm nuclear antigen (Anti-Sm) , in human serum. The Calibrators in the SeraQuest Anti-Sm test set have been assigned Index values based on an in-house standard. Test results are reported as Index values.

No
The summary describes a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting antibodies. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Not Found" entries for "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." further support this conclusion.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used to detect antibodies for diagnostic purposes, not to treat or cure a disease.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use only" and "For use as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)", indicating its role in detecting disease markers to assist in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) performed in microwells, indicating a physical test kit with reagents and hardware components, 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 explicitly states: "For in vitro diagnostic use only."
  • Nature of the Test: The device performs an "enzyme immunoassay (EIA)" on "human serum" to detect "IgG antibodies to Sm." This is a laboratory test performed on a biological sample outside of the body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Purpose: The test is used "as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)," indicating its use in a clinical diagnostic context.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.

(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)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Device Classification: Class II (performance standards)

Description:

Ine SeraQuest Anti-Sm 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 Sm nuclear antigen (Anti-Sm) , in human serum.

The Calibrators in the SeraQuest Anti-Sm test set have been assigned Index values based on an in-house standard. Test results are reported as Index values.

Principle:

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

Intended Use:

For the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of human antibodies to Sm nuclear antigen in human serum by enzyme immunoassay. For manual use, or for use with the HyPrep System Plus.

r In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only.

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 A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance to 895. with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (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 regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Reqister. 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 Regulations.
