The device description details a standard enzyme immunoassay method. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational algorithms beyond basic calculations for generating a standard curve and determining sample concentrations. The performance studies focus on agreement with a predicate device and clinical definitions, not on the performance of an AI/ML model.
No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay designed to quantify transferrin receptor concentration in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. It is used for diagnostic purposes, not for direct treatment or prevention of a disease, which characterizes a therapeutic device.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia."
No
The device description clearly outlines a laboratory-based enzyme immunoassay involving physical reagents, pipetting, incubation, washing, and measurement using a microplate reader. This is a hardware-dependent in vitro diagnostic device, not a software-only medical device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the TFR assay is an "in vitro enzyme immunoassay for quantifying the concentration of transferrin receptor in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia". The phrase "in vitro" and the use of human biological samples (serum or plasma) for diagnostic purposes are key indicators of an IVD.
- Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based assay using microwells, antibodies, and enzymatic reactions to analyze biological samples. This is consistent with the methodology of an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing human patient samples and comparing the results to clinical definitions and a predicate device, which is a standard practice for validating IVDs.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the device clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The TFR assay is an in vitro enzyme immunoassay based upon the double antibody sandwich method. Plasma or serum samples are diluted in buffer and pipetted into microwells pre-coated with polyclonal antibody to transferrin receptor. Horseradish peroxidase conjugated antibody specific for serum transferrin receptor (STR) is added to the wells and incubated. During this incubation, the STR binds to the polyclonal antibodies adsorbed to the wells and the HRP-conjugated second antibodies bind to the captured STR. Any unbound STR and excess HRP-conjugate are washed from the wells. Enzyme substrate is added to the wells and allowed to incubate, a stop solution is then added to stop the reaction and the intensity of the yellow product is measured in a microplate reader. The optical density of the resulting solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the STR in the standard samples. A standard curve is generated from the STR standards provided in the assay and the concentration of STR in the unknown sample is determined by comparing the unknown's optical density reading with the standard curve graph.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Over an 18 month period of time, patient samples were collected. These samples were segregated into one of three categories: 1) Anemia of Chronic Disease ("ACD"), clinically defined as Serum Iron 350 and Hemoglobin 60 or Hemoglobin > 12.
Of the above samples, TFR results were obtained for 38 of the IDA, 175 of the ACD, and 70 of the "Neither IDA nor ACD" samples (283 total).
Summary of Performance Studies
Performing a linear regression of all values for the 155 samples for which both a TfR and QSI value had been obtained yields an R2 of 88.2% (See Table 17).
Of the 38 IDA samples, TfR is in agreement (>8.3ug/ml) with the clinical definition of IDA 30 out of 38 times or 78.9% while QSI is in agreement with the clinical definition 18 out of 23 times or 78.3%. Of these 23 samples, TfR delivered the same individual result as QSI for 22 out of 23 samples.
The IDA population was further refined to those samples where QSI and ferritin results concurred (STR > 28.1 and ferritin 30). This reduced the population to 80 samples. Of these 80 samples, TfR concurred with the individual QSI results 79 out of 80 times or 98.8%.
Of the 70 "Neither IDA nor ACD" samples, TfR delivered the same individual result as QSI 12 out of 13 times or 92.3%.
When all samples results are taken as a whole, TfR delivered the same individual result as QSI 140 out of 155 times or 90.3%. When only those cases are used where QSI and ferritin are in agreement, TfR and QSI give the same result 96 out of 97 times or 98.97%.

Any unbound STR and excess HRP-conjugate are washed from the wells. Enzyme substrate is added to the wells and allowed to incubate, a stop solution is then added to stop the reaction and the intensity of the yellow product is measured in a microplate reader. The optical density of the resulting solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the STR in the standard samples. A standard curve is generated from the STR standards provided in the assay and the concentration of STR in the unknown sample is determined by comparing the unknown's optical density reading with the standard curve graph.
The TFR assay is an in vitro enzyme immunoassay for quantifying the concentration of transferrin receptor in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia, particularly in the presence of other disease states.
Ramco Laboratories, Inc. is claiming substantial equivalence of its TFR assay the R&D Systems (Minneapolis, Minnesota) Quantikine IVD sTfR Immunoassay ("QSI") which obtained 510(k) clearance on May 27, 1997 (K970718, Class II).
Both TFR and OSI's intended use is to quantitatively determine the level of transferrin receptor in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. Both are based on the microplate sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique, use calibrators to generate a log-log curve from which the quantity of an unknown sample is read, use a monoclonal transferrin antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase, use a microplate reader with a 450nm filter to read the results, and supply controls which, like the unknown samples, must be diluted prior to use. Finally, both assays offer a prescribed normal range, the upper limit of which is the indicator for the presence of iron deficiency anemia.
Both TFR and OSI use a monoclonal antibody in its conjugate. However, TFR uses a polyclonal transferrin receptor antibody to coat the microplate, making it a polyclonalmonoclonal assay, while QSI uses a monoclonal antibody to coat the plate making it a double monoclonal. TFR provides 7 standards consisting of TFR, isolated from human placenta, contained in a phosphate buffer with BSA and normal rabbit serum and calibrated in ne/ml while QSI provides 6 standards, consisting of human serum transferrin receptor, contained in buffered animal serum and calibrated in nmol/L. The assay results are reported in ug/ml in the TFR assay compared to nmol/L for OSI. Samples and controls are diluted 100:1 prior to use in the 7fR assay compared to 50:1 for QSI. Finally, TFR is a single-stage compared to QSI which is a two-stage assay.
Over an 18 month period of time, patient samples were collected. These samples were segregated into one of three categories: 1) Anemia of Chronic Disease ("ACD"), clinically defined as Serum Iron 350 and Hemoglobin 60 or Hemoglobin > 12.
Of the above samples, TFR results were obtained for 38 of the IDA, 175 of the ACD, and 70 of the "Neither IDA nor ACD" samples (283 total), while QSI results were obtained for 23 of the IDA, 119 of the IDA and 13 of the "Neither IDA nor ACD" samples (155 total).

Performing a linear regression of all values for the 155 samples for which a TFR and OSI value has been obtained yields an R2 of 88.2% (See Table 17).
Of the 38 IDA samples, QSI results were obtained for 23. IffR is in agreement (>8.3ug/ml) with the clinical definition of IDA 30 out of 38 times or 78.9% while QSI is in agreement with the clinical definition 18 out of 23 times or 78.3%. Of these 23 samples, TfR delivered the same individual result as OSI for 22 out of 23 samples.
The IDA population was further refined to those samples where QSI and ferritin results concurred (STR > 28.1 and ferritin 30). This reduced the population to 80 samples. Of these 80 samples, TFR concurred with the individual OSI results 79 out of 80 times or 98.8%.
Of the 70 "Neither IDA nor ACD" samples. OSI results were obtained for 13. Of these 13 samples, TFR delivered the same individual result as OSI 12 out of 13 times or 92.3%
When all samples results are taken as a whole, TFR delivered the same individual result as QSI 140 out of 155 times or 90.3%. When only those cases are used where OSI and ferritin are in agreement. TFR and OSI give the same result 96 out of 97 times or 98.97%.
