More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a reagent and calibrator for a standard immunochemistry system using rate nephelometry, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as a reagent and calibrator used for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. This is an in vitro diagnostic device used for measurement, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is intended for the "quantitative determination of human immunoglobulin A in serum and cerebrospinal fluid," which provides quantitative measurements of a physiological parameter. This type of measurement is used by healthcare professionals to aid in diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, thereby falling under the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Reagent" and "Calibrator," which are physical components used in a laboratory setting, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "intended for the quantitative determination of human immunoglobulin A in serum and cerebrospinal fluid by rate nephelometry." This describes a test performed on biological samples (serum and CSF) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status (specifically, their immunoglobulin A levels).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that the reagent and calibrator are for the "quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in serum and cerebrospinal fluid."
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies detail method comparison and imprecision experiments conducted on serum and CSF samples, which are typical evaluations for IVD devices.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also IVD reagents (Immunoglobulin A reagents).

All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

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.

Device Name:

IMMAGE® Immunochemistry System Low Concentration Immunoglobulin A (IGALC) Reagent Beckman Coulter™ Cerebrospinal Fluid Protein Calibrator (CSF CAL)

Indications for Use:

The IMMAGE® Immunochemistry System Low Concentration Immunoglobulin A (IGALC) Reagent, when used in conjunction with Beckman Coulter's IMMAGE® Immunochemistry Systems and Cerebrospinal Fluid Protein Calibrator, is intended for the quantitative determination of human immunoglobulin A in serum and cerebrospinal fluid by rate nephelometry.

Clinical Significance:

The concentration ratio of immunoglobulins in CSF and serum detects increased permeability of the blood-CSF barrier and intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins.

The permeability of the blood-CSF barrier to plasma increases due to brain tumor, intracerebral hemormage, meningitis, encephalitis, and bacterial infections. The intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins is important in the diagnosis of diseases of the Central Nervous Systems (CNS).
