Intended Use
The QUANTA Lite™ RF IgA ELISA is a semiquantitative enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of IgA rheumatoid factor (RF) antibodies in patient sera. The presence of these antibodies, when considered in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings, is an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

No
The summary describes a standard ELISA assay for detecting antibodies, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device aids in diagnosis by detecting antibodies, it does not treat or alleviate a condition.

Yes
The device aids in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis by detecting specific antibodies, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is an ELISA kit, which is a laboratory assay involving physical reagents and processes, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, 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 device is an "enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of IgA rheumatoid factor (RF) antibodies in patient sera." This describes a test performed on a biological sample (sera) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status (presence of RF antibodies).
  • Aid in Diagnosis: The intended use also states that the results are "an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)." This is a key characteristic of IVDs – they provide information used to help diagnose diseases or conditions.

Therefore, the QUANTA Lite™ RF IgA ELISA fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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 (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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 aqainst 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. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Reqister. 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 requlations.
