Indications for Use
The Diazyme Human Kappa Free Light Chain Assay is intended as a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of Kappa Free Light Chain (FLC) concentration in serum on Hitachi 917 analyzers. The measurement of Kappa FLC in conjunction with Lambda FLC aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma in conjunction with other laboratory findings. For in-vitro diagnostic use only. The Diazyme Human Lambda Free Light Chain Assay is intended as a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of Lambda Free Light Chain (FLC) concentration in serum on Hitachi 917 analyzers. The measurement of Lambda FLC in conjunction with Kappa FLC aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma in conjunction with other laboratory findings. For in-vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
The Diazyme Human Kappa and Lambda Free Light Chain Assays are in-vitro diagnostic reagents used for the quantitative measurement of free light chains in human serum. The device utilizes a latex particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay principle. Samples are processed on Hitachi 917 clinical chemistry analyzers. The assay measures the turbidity resulting from the antigen-antibody reaction between the FLC in the patient serum and specific antibodies coated on latex particles. The resulting concentration values are used by clinicians in conjunction with other laboratory findings to aid in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; modification is limited to labeling (reference range update). Substantial equivalence supported by design control activities and risk analysis.
Technological Characteristics
Latex particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. Reagents consist of latex particles coated with specific antibodies for Kappa or Lambda light chains. Designed for use on Hitachi 917 clinical chemistry analyzers. Quantitative measurement based on light absorbance/turbidity changes.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of free kappa and free lambda light chains in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of monoclonal gammopathies in adult patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques both kappa and lambda types of light chain portions of immunoglobulin molecules in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. In some disease states, an excess of light chains are produced by the antibody-forming cells. These free light chains, unassociated with gamma globulin molecules, can be found in a patient's body fluids and tissues. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.
