Intended Use
The LDL assay is used for the quantitation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in human serum or plasma. LDL measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of the pathogensis of arteriosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
Device Description
LDL is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) in human serum or plasma. The detergent solubilizes only the non-LDL lipoprotein particles. The cholesterol released is consumed by cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase in a non-color forming reaction. Another detergent solubilizes the remaining LDL particles and a chromogenic coupler allows for color formation. The enzyme reaction with LDL cholesterol in the presence of the coupler produces color which is proportional to the amount of LDL cholesterol present in the sample.

No
The device description outlines a standard in vitro diagnostic assay based on enzymatic reactions and color formation, with no mention of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on traditional analytical metrics like correlation, precision, and linearity.

No

Explanation: This device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of LDL cholesterol levels. It is designed to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease, injury, or condition in a patient. Therefore, it is not a therapeutic device.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "LDL measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of the pathogensis of arteriosclerosis and coronary artery disease."

No

The device description clearly describes a chemical assay that uses reagents and enzymatic reactions to measure LDL levels, which is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "quantitation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in human serum or plasma." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states "LDL is an in vitro diagnostic assay".
  • Mechanism: The description details a chemical reaction that occurs in vitro (outside the body) to measure the LDL levels in the sample.

These points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition.

Summary of Performance Studies

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the ALCYON™ Analyzer. The LDL assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Roche Cobas Mira Plus Automated Chemistry System LDL assay for serum. Precision studies were conducted using the LDL assay. Within-run, between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. The LDL assay is linear up to 600 mg/dL.

Key Metrics

correlation coefficient = 0.9546, slope = 0.984, and Y-intercept = 7.466 mg/dL. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 141 control is 3.3% and Level 2/Panel 142 is 4.0%. The limit of quantititation (sensitivity) of the LDL assay is 1 mg/dL.

Substantial Equivalence:

The LDL assay is substantially equivalent to the Roche Cobas Mira Automated

Chemistry assay.

Similarities:

  • Both assays are in vitro clinical chemistry methods. .
  • Both assays can be used for the quantitative determination of LDL. .
  • Both assays yield similar clinical results. .

Differences:

  • There is a difference between the assay range. .
