Intended Use
The Immunoglobulin A assay is used for the quantitation of immunoglobulin A in human serum or plasma. Measurement of immunoglobulin A aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents.
Device Description
Immunoglobulin A is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in human serum or plasma. Antigen in the sample bonds to the specific antibody in the reagent, forming an immune complex. The immune complex causes an increase in light scattering, measured by reading turbidity at 700 nm, which correlates with the concentration of immunoglobulin A in the sample.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a standard in vitro diagnostic assay using turbidity measurements, with no mention of AI or ML techniques.

No This device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in human serum or plasma to aid in diagnosis, not for treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay "aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents."

No

The device description clearly states it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay" that measures light scattering (turbidity) at 700 nm, indicating it is a physical assay requiring reagents and a measurement instrument, not solely software.

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 immunoglobulin A in human serum or plasma" and "aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose using samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" further confirms this by stating it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in human serum or plasma." It describes the mechanism of action which involves testing a biological sample (serum or plasma) outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing with control materials and comparing results to a predicate device, which is standard practice for validating IVD performance.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K933971/S1) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory clearance as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed IVDs.

All of these points align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the AEROSET™ System. The Immunoglobulin A assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the K-ASSAY Immunoglobulin A assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer. The correlation coefficient = 0.9879, slope = 1.006, and the Y-intercept = -0.404 mg/dL. Precision studies were conducted using the Immunoglobulin A assay. Within-run, between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 401 is 1.5% and Level 2/Panel 402 is 2.4%. The Immunoglobulin A assay range is 0.566 to 797.44 mg/dL. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) of the Immunoglobulin A assay is 0.566 mg/dL. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Immunoglobulin A assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the K-ASSAY Immunoglobulin A assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

The correlation coefficient = 0.9879, slope = 1.006, and the Y-intercept = -0.404 mg/dL. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 401 is 1.5% and Level 2/Panel 402 is 2.4%.
