Intended Use
ACE® LDL-C Reagent is intended for use in the quantitative determination of low density lipoprotein cholesterol in human serum. ACE® LDL-C Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of LDL cholesterol in serum using the ACE® clinical chemistry system. LDL-C Calibrator is intended for the calibration of the ACE® LDL-C Assay. LDL-C Controls are intended to monitor the performance of the ACE® LDL-C Assay. The measurement of LDL cholesterol is a factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
Device Description
The ACE® LDL-C Reagent contains two reagents. An aliquot of serum is added to the first reagent, which contains a unique detergent that selectively solubilizes the non LDL lipoproteins. Enzymes also present in the first reagent consume the cholesterol in a non color forming reaction. The second reagent contains another detergent that releases the remaining LDL lipoproteins. The enzyme reaction with LDL cholesterol, in the presence of a chromogenic coupler, produces color that is directly proportional to the amount of LDL cholesterol in the sample.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a chemical assay for LDL cholesterol, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent intended to measure LDL cholesterol in human serum, which is used for diagnosis, not treatment.

Yes

The device aids in the quantitative determination of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in human serum, and the measurement of LDL-C is a factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, which clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemical reagent and its interaction with serum samples, indicating a physical, non-software component. The performance studies also focus on chemical assay characteristics like precision and correlation with other chemical methods.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the "quantitative determination of low density lipoprotein cholesterol in human serum." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information (LDL cholesterol levels are a factor in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease).
  • Device Description: The description details a chemical reaction using reagents to analyze a serum sample and produce a result (color proportional to LDL cholesterol). This is a typical process for an in vitro diagnostic assay.
  • Components: The device includes reagents, a calibrator, and controls, which are standard components of IVD kits used for quantitative measurements.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the device's accuracy and precision against reference methods and other devices, which is a requirement for demonstrating the performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of predicate devices (other LDL cholesterol reagents, calibrators, and controls) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory submission process for new IVDs.

All these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Dalessio:

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 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 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.

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.
