The device description details a chemical assay based on absorbance measurements, with no mention of AI or ML in the description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of iron in serum, which aids in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases but does not provide direct therapeutic action itself.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Iron measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis, and chronic renal disease." The "Device Description" also identifies the product as an "in vitro diagnostic assay."
No
The device description clearly states it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay" and describes chemical reactions and absorbance measurements, indicating it is a physical test kit with reagents, not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states that "Iron measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis, and chronic renal disease." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
- Device Description: The description states "The Wako L-type Fe test is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of iron in serum." This directly identifies the device as an in vitro diagnostic assay.
- Method of Operation: The description details how the test works by analyzing a sample (serum) outside of the body ("in vitro") to measure a specific analyte (iron) for diagnostic purposes.
These points strongly support the classification of this device as an IVD.

Device Description
The Wako L-type Fe test is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of iron in serum. When a sample is mixed with the Buffer, serum protein is denatured by the action of surfactant contained in the Buffer and transferrin-bound iron is liberated. All the Fe" ions released are reduced to Fe2+ by L-ascorbate and form a chelate with bathophenanthroline disulfonic acid disodium salt. The serum iron can be determined by measuring the absorbance of the red chelate solution.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Precision studies indicate acceptable values can be obtained on a day to day basis. The minimum detectable level of this method is estimated to be 1.2 mg/dL. The Wako L-type Fe assay had determined to be linear to 1000 mg/dL.

§ 862.1410 Iron (non-heme) test system.
(a)
Identification. An iron (non-heme) test system is a device intended to measure iron (non-heme) in serum and plasma. Iron (non-heme) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis (a disease associated with widespread deposit in the tissues of two iron-containing pigments, hemosiderin and hemofuscin, and characterized by pigmentation of the skin), and chronic renal disease.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The Wako L-type Fe test is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of iron in serum.
Approximately two thirds of iron in the body is in hemoglobin of red blood corpuscles (RBCs) and the rest is in liver, spleen, bone marrow and other tissues as stored in iron. Numerous cellular enzymes and coenzymes require iron, such as peroxidases and cytochromes. Transport of iron from one organ to another is accomplished by serum iton, bound to transferrin. Measurement of serum iron concentration is largely of use in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis, chronic inflammatory disorders and malignancies. There are several methods used for the measurement of iron concentration. The Wako L-type Fe is a method utilizing bathophenanthroline as a chromogen.
When a sample is mixed with the Buffer, serum protein is denatured by the action of surfactant contained in the Buffer and transferrin-bound iron is liberated. All the Fe" ions released are reduced to Fe2+ by L-ascorbate and form a chelate with bathophenanthroline disulfonic acid disodium salt. The serum iron can be determined by measuring the absorbance of the red chelate solution.
The safety and effectiveness of the Wako L-type Fe assay is demonstrated by its substantial equivalency to the Wako Fe B test.
Precision studies indicate acceptable values can be obtained on a day to day basis. The minimum detectable level of this method is estimated to be 1.2 mg/dL. The Wako L-type Fe assay had determined to be linear to 1000 mg/dL.

Dear Ms. Mallory:
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.
