Intended Use
The presence of autoantibodies to a number of nuclear constituents has proven to be useful in the diagnosis of various connective tissue diseases. Although the exact etiology of autoimmune diseases is unknown, and the specific role played by autoantibodies in the onset of various autoimmune connective tissue diseases is obscure, the association and frequency of detection of these antibodies may play a key role in the diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected connective tissue diseases. The SSA ELISA test system is intended for the manual or automated analysis of human serum for the presence or absence of IgG antibodies SSA.

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the device description is not available to infer such technology.

No
The device is intended for diagnostic purposes, specifically for detecting IgG antibodies SSA in human serum for the diagnosis of connective tissue diseases, not for treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the presence of autoantibodies is "useful in the diagnosis of various connective tissue diseases" and that the detection of these antibodies "may play a key role in the diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected connective tissue diseases." The device, the SSA ELISA test system, is intended to detect these antibodies.

No

The 510(k) summary describes an ELISA test system, which is a laboratory assay involving physical reagents and equipment, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is for the "analysis of human serum for the presence or absence of IgG antibodies SSA." This analysis is performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (serum) to provide information for the diagnosis of connective tissue diseases.
  • Sample Type: The device uses human serum, which is a biological sample.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to detect the presence of autoantibodies, which is a diagnostic marker for certain diseases.

These characteristics align directly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Kopnitsky:

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 leqally 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 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. 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 regulatory 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 regulations.

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 legally 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 for 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 requlation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
