No.
This device is designed for diagnostic purposes, specifically for the detection of RNP antibodies to aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune diseases. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use" states that the device is designed "to aid in the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)," which clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device is an enzyme immunoassay kit, which is a laboratory test involving physical reagents and processes, not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the kit is "designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of RNP antibodies in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)." This clearly indicates that the device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (serum or plasma) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details an "enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of RNP antibodies in serum or plasma." This further confirms that the device is used to analyze biological samples.
- Mechanism: The description explains how the assay works by detecting antibodies in a patient sample. This is a typical characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.
The core function of the device is to analyze a biological sample (serum or plasma) outside of the body to provide information that aids in the diagnosis of specific diseases. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Varelisa RNP Antibodies is an enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of RNP antibodies in serum or plasma.
The determination of RNP antibodies is of central importance for the clinical diagnosis rheumatic autoimmune diseases. The presence of RNP antibodies suggests the possibility of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Mixed Connective Tissue Diseases (MCTD).
The Varelisa RNP Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay. The wells of a microplate are coated with human recombinant RNP (68 kDa, A, C) antigens. Antibodies specific for RNP present in a patient sample bind to this antigen.
In a second step an enzyme labeled second antibody (Conjugate) binds to the antigenantibody complex which leads to the formation of an enzyme labeled antigen-antibody sandwich complex.
The enzyme labeled antigen-antibody complex converts the added substrate to form a colored solution. The rate of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of Conjugate complexed with the bound antibody and thus is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the patient sample.

Summary of Performance Studies
Laboratory Equivalence: 70 samples including 20 apparently healthy blood donors were tested. Excluding 8 samples for which a different result was expected, the overall agreement was 92%. 5 of the omitted samples were found to be equivocal in Varelisa RNP Antibodies (for Synelisa U1-snRNP (68kDa) Antibodies, no equivocal range is defined). The other 3 omitted samples were shown to contain antibodies directed against the RNP proteins A and C. Since the Synelisa U1-snRNP (68kDa) does not contain RNP A and C, antibodies directed against these antigens can only be detected by the Varelisa RNP Antibodies assav.
The blood donor samples were all found negative in both assays.
These results demonstrate an excellent agreement between both assays.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.
(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Intended Use Statement:
The Varelisa® RNP Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of RNP antibodies in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD). _
General Description of the Device
The Varelisa RNP Antibodies is an enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of RNP antibodies in serum or plasma.
The determination of RNP antibodies is of central importance for the clinical diagnosis rheumatic autoimmune diseases. The presence of RNP antibodies suggests the possibility of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Mixed Connective Tissue Diseases (MCTD).
Varelisa® RNP Antibodies Test Principle
The Varelisa RNP Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay. The wells of a microplate are coated with human recombinant RNP (68 kDa, A, C) antigens. Antibodies specific for RNP present in a patient sample bind to this antigen.

Device Comparison:
Synelisa® U1-snRNP (68 kDa) Antibodies (the predicate device) and Varelisa® RNP Antibodies Assay (the new device) are both indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassays for the determination of RNP antibodies in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD).
The essential difference between the two assays is the inclusion of the recombinant RNP A and RNP C proteins in addition to the RNP (68 kDa) protein in the antigen mixture of the new device. The new device now includes the three major antigens of the U1-RNP complex.
Laboratory Equivalence
70 samples including 20 apparently healthy blood donors were tested. Excluding 8 samples for which a different result was expected, the overall agreement was 92%. 5 of the omitted samples were found to be equivocal in Varelisa RNP Antibodies (for Synelisa U1-snRNP (68kDa) Antibodies, no equivocal range is defined). The other 3 omitted samples were shown to contain antibodies directed against the RNP proteins A and C. Since the Synelisa U1-snRNP (68kDa) does not contain RNP A and C, antibodies directed against these antigens can only be detected by the Varelisa RNP Antibodies assav.
The blood donor samples were all found negative in both assays.
These results demonstrate an excellent agreement between both assays.
