Intended Use
The Toxoplasma IgM ELISA test system provides a means for the manual and/or automated (Aptus), presumptive, qualitative determination of IgM-class antibody to T. gondii in human serum and for the presumptive diagnosos of acute, recent, or reactive infection. To adequately assess the patient's serological status, testing must be performed in conjunction with an anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibody assay. This product is not FDA cleared (approved) for use in testing (i.e., screening) blood or plasma donors. The assay's performance has not been established for screening of prenatal women or newborns.

No
The summary describes an ELISA test for detecting antibodies and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test designed to detect antibodies to T. gondii in human serum for diagnostic purposes, not to treat or prevent disease.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "...for the presumptive diagnosos of acute, recent, or reactive infection." This indicates its purpose is to aid in diagnosis.

No

The device is a Toxoplasma IgM ELISA test system, which is a laboratory assay involving reagents and likely hardware (ELISA plate reader, etc.), not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "presumptive, qualitative determination of IgM-class antibody to T. gondii in human serum and for the presumptive diagnosis of acute, recent, or reactive infection." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a disease state.
  • Sample Type: The device uses "human serum," which is a biological sample taken from a patient.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to aid in the "presumptive diagnosis" of an infection.

These are all key characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device as defined by regulatory bodies like the FDA.

§ 866.3780

Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies toToxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identifyToxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis caused by the parasitic protozoanToxoplasma gondii and provides epidemiological information on this disease. Congenital toxoplasmosis is characterized by lesions of the central nervous system, which if undetected and untreated may lead to brain defects, blindness, and death of an unborn fetus. The disease is characterized in children by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.(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 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 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655.

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 regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
