No
The device description details a chemical reaction and spectrophotometric measurement, with no mention of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on standard analytical chemistry metrics.
No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of iron in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases; it does not directly treat or prevent a disease.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the Iron assay is "used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis... and chronic renal disease." This indicates its purpose is to aid in diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay" and describes a chemical reaction involving reagents and measurement of absorbance, indicating it is a physical test kit or system, not software only.
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 assay is used for the "quantitation of iron in human serum" and that these measurements are used in the "diagnosis and treatment of diseases." This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Description: The "Device Description" further clarifies that it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of iron in human serum."
- Performance Studies: The "Summary of Performance Studies" describes comparative studies and precision studies, which are typical evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their performance characteristics.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K854298) indicates that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device, a common practice in the regulatory pathway for IVDs.
All these elements strongly indicate that this device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Iron assay is used for the quantitation of iron in human serum. Iron (non-heme) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis (a disease associated with widespread deposit in the tissues of two iron-containing pigments, hemosiderin and hemofuscin, and characterized by pigmentation of the skin), and chronic renal disease.

Device Description
Iron is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of iron in human serum. The Iron assay is a clinical chemistry assay which utilizes an acidic media to release ferric iron from the transferrin. The ferric iron is converted to the ferrous form by the action of hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The released ferrous iron reacts with FERENE® to produce a colored Iron-FERENE complex. The absorbance of the Iron-FERENE complex is measured at 600 nm and is proportional to the concentration of iron present in the sample. Thiourea and detergent are added to reduce copper interference and turbidity, respectively.

Summary of Performance Studies
Comparative performance studies were conducted using the AEROSET™ System. The Iron assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Boehringer Mannheim Iron assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer. The correlation coefficient = 0.9938, slope = 0.973, and Y-intercept = - 2.592 ug/dL. Precision studies were conducted using the Iron assay. Within-run, between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 101 is 0.7% and Level 2/Panel 102 is 1.7%. The Iron assay is linear up to 1778.5 ug/dL. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) of the Iron assay is 3.8 ug/dL. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Iron assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Boehringer Mannheim Iron assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer.
