Intended Use
This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is indicated for the detection and measurement of circulating IgG antibodies to ß2 Glycoprotein in human serum. The presence of these antibodies, in combination with clinical observations and other serological tests, can aid in the diagnosis of Primary and Secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
Device Description
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the detection and measurement of IgG antibodies to ß, Glycoprotein I in human serum. The ELISA methodology is commonly used for serum antibody evaluations. Purified human B, glycoprotein has been attached to the inner surfaces of the microwell plate. During the initial incubation step, specific antibodies in patient serum will bind to the antigen and are immobilized on the surface. After incubation and a wash step, a peroxidase labeled anti human IgG (gamma chain specific) second antibody is added to the wells to react with the immobilized anti beta 2 GP1 antibodies. After incubation and another wash step, the substrate is added. In the wells where the specific antigenantibody-HRP complex remains bound, the peroxidase enzyme catalyzes a color change in the substrate. After the enzymatic reaction is stopped, the colored product is read in an EIA plate reader at a specified wavelength.

No
The device description details a standard ELISA assay, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related technologies in any section of the summary.

No
The device aids in diagnosis by detecting antibodies, but it does not treat or prevent disease.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "can aid in the diagnosis of Primary and Secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome."

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical ELISA kit with microwell plates, reagents, and a requirement for an EIA plate reader, indicating it is a hardware-based diagnostic test, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is for the "detection and measurement of circulating IgG antibodies to ß2 Glycoprotein in human serum." It also states that the results, in combination with other information, "can aid in the diagnosis of Primary and Secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome." This clearly indicates that the device is intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (human serum) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details an "enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)" which is a common laboratory technique used for in vitro diagnostic testing. It describes the process of using patient serum and reagents to detect and measure antibodies.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes performance data based on testing "clinically characterized serum samples," further supporting its use for diagnostic purposes.
  • Key Metrics: The inclusion of metrics like Relative Sensitivity, Relative Specificity, and Relative Agreement are standard performance indicators for IVD devices.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (K932373; Hemagen ® Cardiolipin Antibody Kit) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory review as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory process for new IVDs.

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