Intended Use
IMMULITE Rubella Quantitative is a solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for use on the IMMULITE Automated Analyzer and designed for the quantitative measurement of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella, particularly for women of childbearing age. The performance characteristics of the assay have not been established for use with neonate and cord blood specimens.
Device Description
IMMULITE® Rubella Quantitative IgG is a solid-phase, two-step, chemiluminescent enzyme unmunoassay. The solid phase, a polystyrene bead enclosed within an IMMULITE Test Unit, is cated with a partially purified rubella antigen. Prediluted patient sample (1-in-21 dilution) and a protein-based buffer are simultaneously introduced into the Test Unit, and incubated for approximately 30 minutes at 37℃ with intermittent agitation. During this time, rubella IgG in the sample binds to the rubella antigencoated bead. Unbound serum is then removed by a centrifugal wash. An alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is introduced, and the Test Unit is Incubated for another 30-minute cycle. The unbound enzyme conjugate is removed by a centrifugal wash. Substrate is then added, and the Test Unit is incubated for an additional 10 minutes. The chemiluminescent substrate, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane, undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline phosphatase to vield an unstable intermediate. The continuous production of this intermediate results in the sustained emission of light, thus improving precision by providing a window for multiple reading. The bound complex - and thus the photon output, as measured by the luminometer - is proportional to the presence of rubella IgG in the sample A quantitative result is then obtained by interpolating the adjusted signal response in the master curve.

The description details a standard immunoassay process and data analysis through interpolation on a master curve, with no mention of AI or ML techniques.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used to measure IgG antibodies to the rubella virus, aiding in the determination of immune status. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella".

No

The device description clearly outlines a solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay involving physical components like a polystyrene bead, reagents, and an automated analyzer (IMMULITE Automated Analyzer). This is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states it is "intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use".
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory test performed on human serum samples using a specific analyzer and reagents. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device to other established rubella assays, which is a standard practice for validating IVD devices.

(a)
Identification. Rubella virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to rubella virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of rubella (German measles) or confirmation of a person's immune status from past infections or immunizations and provides epidemiological information on German measles. Newborns infected in the uterus with rubella virus may be born with multiple congenital defects (rubella syndrome).(b)

IMMULITE Rubella Quantitative IgG is a clinical device for use Description of Device: with the IMMULITE Automated Immunoassay Analyzer

  • Quantitative IgG is a solid-phase Intended Use of the Device: IMMULITE Rubella chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for use on the IMMULITE Automated Analyzer and designed for the quantitative measurement of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum. It is intended strictly for in vitro use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella, particularly for women of childbearing The performance characteristics of this assay have not been age. established for use with neonate and cord blood specimens.

Summary and Explanation of the Device:

Rubella, also known as German measles, occurs throughout the world. The prodromal stage includes malaise and a low-grade fever, followed by characteristic lymphadenitis and finally a macular or maculopapular rash. While rubella is primarily an infection of children, rubella infections during the first trimester of pregnancy can result in congenital infections with disastrous consequences. Birth defects, such as deafness and/or congenital heart defects are the most common. Multiple defects such as mental retardation, cataracts and hepatosplenomegaly may also occur and contribute to death of the infant in the first year of life. Infants with congenital infections may secrete virus for up to two years. Contact with these children poses a risk to susceptible pregnant women

Clinical symptoms of rubella infection are frequently mild or nonspecific, making the infection difficult to diagnose clinically. For these reasons, pregnant women with an undiagnosed illness with rash should be evaluated for the possibility of an acute, primary rubella infection. While the virus can be cultured in viro, serology remains the principal means for establishing a clinical diagnosis of acquired rubella and congenital infections. As two-thirds of defects are not apparent at birth, it is recommended that children exposed in utero be monitored for clinical and serological status until school age

A rubella vaccine, introduced in 1969, has significantly lowered the incidence of both acute disease and congenital rubella syndrome. However, as the vaccination program may vary with geographical location and as the level of immunity provided by the vaccination is not always adequate, pregnant women of child-bearing age are routinely screened for immune status.

The presence of rubella antibodies indicates a previous vaccination or infection and is indicative of presumptive immunity Patients suspected of having primary, acute rubella infection should be tested for the presence of IgM antibodies.

Performance Equivalence - Technology Comparison:

Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC) asserts that IMMULITE® Rubella Quantitative IgG is substantially equivalent to the IMx® Rubella IgG kit marketed by Abbott Laboratories (Abbott Park, IL).

Each product is designed for the quantitative measurement of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum. Each product is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella.

IMMULITE® Rubella Quantitative IgG is a solid-phase, two-step, chemiluminescent enzyme unmunoassay. The solid phase, a polystyrene bead enclosed within an IMMULITE Test Unit, is cated with a partially purified rubella antigen

In the IMx Rubella IgG assay, the patient sample and diluent buffer are added to the predilution well of a reaction cell. Rubella virus coated microparticles and the diluted sample are added to an incubation well. The Rubella antibody binds to the Rubella virus coated microparticles, forming an antigen-antibody complex. Diluent buffer is added to the reaction mixture and an aliquot of the antigen-antibody complex is transferred to the glass fiber matrix. The microparticles bind irreversibly to the glass fiber matrix. The matrix is washed to remove unbound materials. The anti-human IgG/alkaline phosphatase conjugate is dispensed onto the matrix and binds to the antigen-antibody complex. Finally, the matrix is washed to remove unbound materials, the substrate, 4-Methylumbellifery] Phosphate, is added to the matrix, and the fluorescent product is measured by the optical assembly
