For the quantitative determination of Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in human serum or plasma. LDL Cholesterol is recognized as a useful tool in identifying patients who are at a higher risk for coronary heart diseas. High LDL cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk. This reagent set is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
Direct LDL Cholesterol assay; homogeneous enzymatic colorimetric method. Input: human serum or plasma samples. Process: two-reagent format; first reagent (alpha-cyclodextrin, dextran sulfate) stabilizes LDL, VLDL, and chylomicrons; second reagent (PEG-modified enzymes) selectively reacts with cholesterol in LDL particles. Output: quantitative LDL-C concentration. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by technicians/clinicians on manual or automated analyzers (e.g., Hitachi 717). Results used by physicians to assess coronary heart disease risk.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on bench testing and performance characteristics typical of in vitro diagnostic lipoprotein test systems.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic reagent system for quantitative LDL-C determination. Operates via chemical reaction in human serum or plasma samples. Class I device, product code MRR (Lipoprotein test system).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative determination of LDL-C in human serum or plasma to identify patients at higher risk for coronary heart disease. For in vitro diagnostic use.
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.

Dear Mr. Vaeches:
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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
