Intended Use
Toxogen is an in vitro diagnostic, rapid latex particle agglutination test for the qualitative and semiquantitative determination of total anti-toxoplasma antibodies in human serum. The test may be used with a single specimen to estimate the immunologic response of the individual or with paired acute and convalescent sera as an aid in the diagnosis of primary, acute or reactivated toxoplasmosis. This assay is not FDA cleared for use in blood or plasma donor screening.
Device Description
Toxogen is an in vitro diagnostic, rapid latex particle agglutination test for the qualitative and semiquantitative determination of total anti-toxoplasma antibodies in human serum. The new Toxogen is a modified version of the predicate Toxogen with a larger latex particle size to increase sensitivity from 10 IU/mL to 5 IU/mL.
More Information

No
The description details a traditional in vitro diagnostic test based on latex particle agglutination, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test used to detect antibodies in human serum, which aids in diagnosis rather than providing therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Toxogen is an in vitro diagnostic, rapid latex particle agglutination test."

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic test that uses latex particle agglutination, which is a physical/chemical process, not software.

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

The document explicitly states this multiple times:

  • "Toxogen is an in vitro diagnostic..." in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section.
  • "Toxogen is an in vitro diagnostic..." in the "Device Description" section.

Summary of Performance Studies

In a method comparison study evaluating 100 serum samples using the qualitative method, the relative sensitivity of the modified Toxogen as compared to the predicate Toxogen was 100% and the relative specificity was 91%.

In a reproducibility study, a panel of 9 serum samples (3 negative, 3 weak positive and 3 high positive) was tested by three different operators on 3 consecutive days following the semiquantitative procedure for Toxogen. The results, as defined by the ability to give agreement to within one 2-fold dilution on the replicates indicated 100% reproducibility.

Key Metrics

Relative sensitivity of 100%, relative specificity of 91% for method comparison. 100% reproducibility for reproducibility study.

§ 866.3780

Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies toToxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identifyToxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis caused by the parasitic protozoanToxoplasma gondii and provides epidemiological information on this disease. Congenital toxoplasmosis is characterized by lesions of the central nervous system, which if undetected and untreated may lead to brain defects, blindness, and death of an unborn fetus. The disease is characterized in children by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Name of the device:

Toxogen

Classification name(s):

866.3780 Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents Class II

Identification of predicate device(s):

K913467/D Toxogen

Description of the device/intended use(s):

Toxogen is an in vitro diagnostic, rapid latex particle agglutination test for the qualitative and semiquantitative determination of total anti-toxoplasma antibodies in human serum. The test may be used with a single specimen to estimate the immunologic response of the individual or with paired acute and convalescent sera as an aid in the diagnosis of primary, acute or reactivated toxoplasmosis. This assay is not FDA cleared for use in blood or plasma donor screening.

Statement of how the Technological Characteristics of the Device compare to the Predicate device:

The new Toxogen is a modified version of the predicate Toxogen with a larger latex particle size to increase sensitivity from 10 IU/mL to 5 IU/mL. It is substantially equivalent in performance, intended use, safety and effectiveness to the predicate device as supported by the performance data and labeling.

Summary of Performance Data:

In a method comparison study evaluating 100 serum samples using the qualitative method, the relative sensitivity of the modified Toxogen as compared to the predicate Toxogen was 100% and the relative specificity was 91%.

In a reproducibility study, a panel of 9 serum samples (3 negative, 3 weak positive and 3 high positive) was tested by three different operators on 3 consecutive days following the semiquantitative procedure for Toxogen. The results, as defined by the ability to give agreement to within one 2-fold dilution on the replicates indicated 100% reproducibility.

Dear Ms. Marble:

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 legally marketed predicate 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS 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 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 regulations.
