No
The summary describes a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting antigens, which is a biochemical method and does not involve AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test for detecting Giardia antigens in stool, intended for diagnosis, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states, "Test results are intended to aid in the diagnosis of Giardia infection (giardiasis)." This indicates that the device provides information used to identify a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it utilizes "polyclonal anti-Giardia capture antibody adsorbed to microwells," indicating a physical, in vitro diagnostic test kit, not a software-only device.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The Premier Giardia enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is an in vitro qualitative procedure for the detection of Giardia antigens in human stool."

The term "in vitro" is the key indicator that this device is intended for use outside of the living body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 866.3220

Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies toEntamoeba histolytica in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identifyEntamoeba histolytica directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of amebiasis caused by the microscopic protozoan parasiteEntamoeba histolytica and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by this parasite. The parasite may invade the skin, liver, intestines, lungs, and diaphragm, causing disease conditions such as indolent ulcers, an amebic hepatitis, amebic dysentery, and pulmonary lesions.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.
