Intended Use
The contents of the Peliclass ™ subclass nephelometric Array® kit will allow quantitative determination of all four IgG subclasses in at least 25 samples with the Beckman Array ® Protein System. The determination of IgG subclasses is to be used in conjunction with other clinical findings to aid in the assessment of the humoral immune status.

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a nephelometric assay kit for quantitative determination of IgG subclasses, which is a standard laboratory technique and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device aids in the assessment of humoral immune status by determining IgG subclasses, which provides information for diagnosis or monitoring but does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is used for the "quantitative determination of all four IgG subclasses" and this determination is to be used "in conjunction with other clinical findings to aid in the assessment of the humoral immune status." This indicates the device provides information for assessing a patient's health status, which is characteristic of a diagnostic device.

No

The device is described as a "kit" with "contents" for quantitative determination using a "Beckman Array ® Protein System." This strongly suggests a physical product (reagents, consumables, etc.) used with a hardware system, not a standalone software device.

Yes, based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the kit is for the "quantitative determination of all four IgG subclasses" and is to be used "in conjunction with other clinical findings to aid in the assessment of the humoral immune status." This describes a test performed on biological samples (implied by "quantitative determination" and "humoral immune status") to provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Device Description (though not found): While the description is missing, the intended use and the name "Peliclass ™ subclass nephelometric Array® kit" strongly suggest it's a reagent kit used for laboratory testing.
  • Beckman Array ® Protein System: The mention of this system indicates that the kit is designed to be used with a specific laboratory instrument, which is common for IVD tests.
  • Prescription Use: The indication of "Prescription Use" further supports its classification as a medical device used in a clinical setting, which is typical for IVDs.

The core function of the device is to perform a test on a biological sample (likely blood or serum, given the context of IgG subclasses and humoral immune status) to provide diagnostic information. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.5530 Immunoglobulin G (Fc fragment specific) immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulin G (Fc fragment specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the Fc (carbohydrate containing) fragment of immunoglobulin G (resulting from breakdown of immunoglobulin G antibodies) in urine, serum, and other body fluids. Measurement of immunoglobulin G Fc fragments aids in the diagnosis of plasma cell antibody-forming abnormalities, e.g., gamma heavy chain disease.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 866.9.

Dear Mr. Myers:

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 to 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 Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਕੇ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP 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.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770) 488-7655.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a leqally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 för in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
