No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay technology and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is used to quantitatively determine free triiodothyronine (free T3) in human serum and plasma, aiding in the assessment of thyroid status. It is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is described as an "aid in the assessment of thyroid status," which indicates its use in diagnosing or monitoring health conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA), which is a laboratory-based assay involving reagents and hardware (the ARCHITECT i System), not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of free triiodothyronine (free T3) in human serum and plasma." This involves testing biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: It describes a "Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA)" which is a laboratory technique used to measure substances in biological fluids. It also mentions using calibrators and controls, which are standard components of IVD assays.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device to another assay using "specimens," which are biological samples.

All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies

Least squares linear regression analysis of an ARCHITECT Free T3 vs. AxSYM Free T3 comparison, using 1101 specimens, gave the following parameter estimates: correlation coefficient = 0.958. slope = 0.82 and y-axis intercept = 0.94 pg/mL. Passing-Bablok linear regression analysis of an ARCHITECT Free T3 vs. AxSYM Free T3 comparison, using 1101 specimens, gave the following parameter estimates: correlation coefficient = 0.958, slope = 1.05 and y-axis intercept = 0.21 pg/mL.

510(k) Summary Abbott ARCHITECT™ Free T2 Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting a Substantially Equivalent Determination

The following information as presented in the Premarket Notification [510(k)] for Abbott ARCHITECT™ Free T, constitutes data supporting a substantially equivalent determination.

ARCHITECT Free T, is a Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) for the quantitative determination of free T, in human serum and plasma (lithium heparin, sodium heparin or potassium EDTA). ARCHITECT Free T, is calibrated with ARCHITECT Free T2 Calibrators. ARCHITECT Free T2 Controls are assayed for the verification of the accuracy and precision of the Abbott ARCHITECT i System.

Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated between the ARCHITECT Free T, assay and the AxSYM® Free T, assay. The intended use of both assays is for the quantitative determination of free T, in human serum and plasma. Least squares linear regression analysis of an ARCHITECT Free T, vs. AxSYM Free T, comparison, using 1101 specimens, gave the following parameter estimates: correlation coefficient = 0.958. slope = 0.82 and y-axis intercept = 0.94 pg/mL. Passing-Bablok linear regression analysis of an ARCHITECT Free T, vs. AxSYM Free T, comparison, using 1101 specimens, gave the following parameter estimates: correlation coefficient = 0.958, slope = 1.05 and yaxis intercept = 0.21 pg/mL.

In conclusion, these data demonstrate that the ARCHITECT Free T, assay is as safe and effective as, and is substantially equivalent to, the AxSYM Free T, assay.
