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

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test system for detecting antibodies, not for treating any condition.

Yes
The document states that the "Rubella IgG ELISA test system is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) intended for the manual or automated (Aptus) qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to Rubella virus in human serum." This detection aids in evaluating immune status or demonstrating seroconversion, which are diagnostic purposes. The document also explicitly states it "is for in vitro diagnostic use."

No

The device is an ELISA test system, which is a laboratory assay involving physical reagents and processes, not solely software.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "...and is for in vitro diagnostic use."

§ 866.3510 Rubella virus serological reagents.

(a)
Identification. Rubella virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to rubella virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of rubella (German measles) or confirmation of a person's immune status from past infections or immunizations and provides epidemiological information on German measles. Newborns infected in the uterus with rubella virus may be born with multiple congenital defects (rubella syndrome).(b)
Classification. Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards':
(i) 1/LA6 “Detection and Quantitation of Rubella IgG Antibody: Evaluation and Performance Criteria for Multiple Component Test Products, Speciment Handling, and Use of the Test Products in the Clinical Laboratory, October 1997,”
(ii) 1/LA18 “Specifications for Immunological Testing for Infectious Diseases, December 1994,”
(iii) D13 “Agglutination Characteristics, Methodology, Limitations, and Clinical Validation, October 1993,”
(iv) EP5 “Evaluation of Precision Performance of Clinical Chemistry Devices, February 1999,” and
(v) EP10 “Preliminary Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitive Clinical Laboratory Methods, May 1998,”

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 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 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 Regulations, 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 OS 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 Register. 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.

Image /page/0/Picture/10 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The logo features the department's name encircling a stylized emblem. The emblem depicts a caduceus-like symbol, with a staff entwined by a serpent, representing health and medicine. The overall design is simple and professional, reflecting the department's role in public health and human services.
