The device description details a standard automated immunoassay process based on chemical reactions and light detection. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis beyond reporting results based on a direct relationship between light units and ferritin concentration.
No.
The "Intended Use" section states that the device is for "quantitative determination of Ferritin in serum or plasma" and "to be used to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia and iron overload." This indicates a diagnostic purpose rather than a therapeutic one.
Yes
The intended use explicitly states, "It is to be used to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia and iron overload." This direct contribution to diagnosis classifies it as a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical automated chemiluminescence system (ACS:180) that performs chemical reactions and measurements on biological samples (serum or plasma). This involves hardware components for dispensing, incubating, separating, washing, and detecting light units. The software component is part of this larger hardware system, not a standalone 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 "quantitative determination of Ferritin in serum or plasma." Serum and plasma are biological specimens taken from the human body.
- Purpose: The intended use also states it is "to be used to aid in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia and iron overload." This indicates the test is performed in vitro (outside the body) on a sample to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a laboratory assay process involving the analysis of a sample (serum or plasma) using reagents and an automated system to measure a specific analyte (ferritin). This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies describe analyzing samples from different patient populations (healthy, iron deficiency, iron overload, etc.) and comparing results to an alternate method, which are standard practices for validating an IVD.
The definition of an IVD is a medical device that is used to examine specimens taken from the body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to help diagnose diseases or conditions. This device clearly fits that description.

Device Description
Ferritin plays a significant role in the absorption, storage, and release of iron. As the storage form of iron, ferritin remains in the body tissues until it is needed for erythropoiesis. When needed, the iron molecules are released from the apoferritin shell and bind to transferrin, the circulating plasma protein that transports iron to the erythropoietic cells.
Although dietary iron is poorly absorbed, the body conserves its iron stores carefully, reabsorbing most of the iron released from the breakdown of red blood cells. As a result, the body normally loses only 1 to 2 mg of iron per day, which is generally restored by the iron absorbed in the small intestine from dietary sources.
Ferritin is found in serum in low concentrations and is directly proportional to the body's iron stores. Serum ferritin concentration, when analyzed with other factors such as serum iron, iron-binding capacity, and tissue iron stores, is valuable in the diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemias, anemias of chronic infection, and conditions such as thalassemia and hemochromatosis that are associated with iron overload. Measurement of serum ferritin is particularly valuable in distinguishing iron-deficiency anemias caused by low iron stores from those resulting from inadequate iron utilization.
The Chiron Diagnostics ACS:180 Ferritin assay is a two-site sandwich immunoassay using direct, chemiluminometric technology, which uses constant amounts of two anti-ferritin antibodies. The first antibody, in the Reagent, is a polyclonal goat anti-ferritin antibody labeled with acridinium ester. The second antibody, in the Solid Phase, is a monoclonal mouse anti-ferritin antibody, which is covalently coupled to paramagnetic particles. The ACS:180 system automatically performs the following steps:
- dispenses 25 uL of sample into a cuvette .
- . dispenses 100 µL of Lite Reagent and 450 µL of Solid Phase and incubates for 7.5 minutes at 37°C
- . separates, aspirates, and washes the cuvettes with reagent water
- . dispenses 300 uL each of Reagent 1 and Reagent 2 to initiate the chemiluminescent reaction
- . reports results according to the selected option, as described in the system operating instructions or in the online help system
A direct relationship exists between the amount of ferritin present in the patient sample and the amount of relative light units (RLUs) detected by the system.

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.
