Intended Use
The Chiron Diagnostics ACS:Centaur CEA Immunoassay is for the quantitative determination of carcinoembryonic antigen in serum to aid in the management of cancer patients in whom changing concentrations of CEA are observed using the Chiron Diagnostics ACS:Centaur Automated Chemiluminescence Systems.
Device Description
The Chiron Diagnostics ACS:Centaur CEA immunoassay is a two-site immunoassay using direct chemiluminometric technology, which uses constant amounts of two antibodies. The first antibody, in the Lite Reagent, is a purified polyclonal rabbit anti-CEA antibody labeled with acridinium ester. The second antibody, in the Solid Phase, is a monoclonal mouse anti-CEA antibody covalently coupled to paramagnetic particles. A direct relationship exists between the amount of CEA present in the patient sample and the amount of relative light units (RLU's) detected by the system.

No
The description details a standard immunoassay technology and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is used for the quantitative determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) to aid in the management of cancer patients by observing changing concentrations, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device quantitatively determines carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in serum to aid in the management of cancer patients, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines a two-site immunoassay using physical reagents (antibodies labeled with acridinium ester and antibodies coupled to paramagnetic particles) and a system that detects relative light units (RLU's). This involves physical components and chemical reactions, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of carcinoembryonic antigen in serum." This involves testing a sample taken from the body (serum) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a "two-site immunoassay" using "direct chemiluminometric technology." This is a laboratory-based test method performed on a sample.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing "samples" and comparing results to a predicate device, which is typical for IVD validation.

The core function of the device is to analyze a biological sample (serum) in a laboratory setting to provide diagnostic information (CEA levels) to aid in patient management. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Accuracy: For 284 samples in the range of 0.5 to 78.5 ng/mL, the correlation between the ACS:Centaur CEA and the ACS:180 CEA is described by the equation: ACS:Centaur CEA = 0.97 (ACS:180 CEA) =0.04 ng/mL

Key Metrics

Sensitivity: The ACS:Centaur Immunoassay measures CEA concentration up to 100 ng/mL with a minimum detectable concentration of 0.5 ng/mL.
Correlation coefficient (r) = 0.99

§ 866.6010 Tumor-associated antigen immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A tumor-associated antigen immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to qualitatively or quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, tumor-associated antigens in serum, plasma, urine, or other body fluids. This device is intended as an aid in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy or for the detection of recurrent or residual disease.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Tumor markers must comply with the following special controls: (1) A guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for the Submission of Tumor Associated Antigen Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) to FDA,” and (2) voluntary assay performance standards issued by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards.
