Intended Use

The CAPILLARYS IMMUNOTYPING kit is designed for the detection and the characterization of monoclonal proteins (immunotyping) in human serum with the SEBIA CAPILLARYS System, for capillary electrophoresis. It is used in conjunction with the CAPILLARYS PROTEIN(E) 6 or CAPILLARYS ß1-S2" kits designed for serum proteins separation into 6 major fractions in alkaline buffer (pH 9.9). The CAPILLARYS system performs all procedural sequences automatically to obtain a protein profile for qualitative analysis. Each sample is mixed with individual antisera that are specific against gamma (IgG), alpha (IgA) and mu (IgM) heavy chains, and kappa (free and bound) light chains and lambda (free and bound) light chains. The proteins fractions, separated in silica capillaries, are directly detected by their absorbance at 200 nm. The electrophoregrams are evaluated visually by comparing the profile of the untreated sample with the individual profiles treated with the respective antisera. Monoclonal immunoglobulins are thus detected and identified. Identification of Monoclonal immunoglobulins is essential for the classification of monoclonal gammopathies by the class and type of involved immunoglobulins. "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use."

Device Story

Device performs automated capillary electrophoresis to detect/characterize monoclonal proteins in human serum. Input: serum samples mixed with specific antisera (anti-IgG, IgA, IgM, kappa, lambda) in preloaded segments. Process: automated dilution based on total immunoglobulin levels; sample/antisera mixture injected into silica capillaries; high-voltage electrophoresis separates proteins; direct detection via 200 nm absorbance. Output: electrophoregrams showing reference (ELP) pattern overlaid with antisera patterns. Visual evaluation by clinician identifies monoclonal components via disappearance/decrease of specific fractions. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by trained personnel. Benefits: enables classification of monoclonal gammopathies; facilitates identification of specific immunoglobulin classes/types.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on bench testing and performance characteristics of the capillary electrophoresis system and immunotyping reagents.

Technological Characteristics

Capillary electrophoresis system using silica capillaries. Detection via UV absorbance at 200 nm. Reagents include specific antisera for IgG, IgA, IgM, kappa, and lambda chains. Automated processing of serum samples in alkaline buffer (pH 9.9).

Indications for Use

Indicated for the detection and characterization of monoclonal proteins in human serum to classify monoclonal gammopathies by identifying the class and type of involved immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM, kappa, lambda). For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

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.

Dear Mr. Janik:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to legally
