Regulation
21 CFR 862.1475
Device Class
Class 1
Indications for Use
The Quantimetrix Lipoprint™ System LDL Subfractions is a device intended to measure lipoprotein cholesterol (for lipoprotein fractions and subfractions) in fasting serum or plasma with a Total Cholesterol concentration of ≥ 100 mg/dl. Lipoprotein cholesterol measurements are used as an aid in evaluating lipid metabolism disorders when used in conjunction with other lipid tests, patient risk assessment and clinical evaluation.
Device Story
LipoPrint System LDL Subfractions performs electrophoretic separation of lipoproteins. Device modification adds analysis software to existing hardware (computer, scanner, color printer). Software processes scanned tube images to characterize lipoprotein fractions and subfractions (VLDL, IDL, HDL). Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output provides quantitative data on lipoprotein subfractions to assist clinicians in evaluating lipid metabolism disorders and patient risk assessment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on the addition of software to an existing, cleared device.
Technological Characteristics
System utilizes electrophoresis for lipoprotein separation. Hardware includes a scanner, computer, and color printer. Software performs image analysis of electrophoresis tubes. Regulatory software level of concern: moderate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring evaluation of lipid metabolism disorders. Used for fasting serum or plasma samples with Total Cholesterol ≥ 100 mg/dl.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A lipoprotein test system is a device intended to measure lipoprotein in serum and plasma. Lipoprotein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases.
