Intended Use
The Diazyme Folate Assay is a homogeneous enzyme method intended for use in the quantitative analysis of folate in human serum. Folic acid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias. For in-vitro diagnostic use only. The Diazyme Folate Calibrator Set is intended for use in the calibration of the Diazyme Folate Assay. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The Diazyme Folate Control Set is intended for use as quality controls for the Diazyme Folate Assay. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
Diazyme Folate Assay is a quantitative, homogeneous enzymatic test for human serum folate. It utilizes alpha-complementation of beta-galactosidase; competition occurs between enzyme donor-folate conjugate, folate binding protein, and sample folate. Higher sample folate results in higher beta-galactosidase activity. The assay uses a nitro-phenyl-beta-galactoside (NPG) substrate; reaction product measured at 415 nm. Used on Roche Hitachi 917 analyzers in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output is a quantitative folate concentration (ng/mL) used by clinicians to diagnose and monitor anemias. Includes liquid-ready calibrators and controls. Performance is affected by hemolysis and specific cross-reacting pharmaceuticals (methotrexate, leucovorin).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2 (N=80 per level, CVs 5.4-7.5%). Linearity (R²=0.996) and LoQ (2.0 ng/mL) established per CLSI guidelines. Method comparison against predicate (N=141) showed Deming regression slope 0.955, intercept 0.125, r=0.9841. Interference testing performed for endogenous substances and drugs. Reference range established using 213 healthy adults.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay. Quantitative measurement of folate in human serum. Reagent-based chemistry. Designed for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative analysis of folate in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias. For in-vitro diagnostic use by prescription only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A folic acid test system is a device intended to measure the vitamin folic acid in plasma and serum. Folic acid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of megaloblastic anemia, which is characterized by the presence of megaloblasts (an abnormal red blood cell series) in the bone marrow.

Dear Dr.Abhijit Datta:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the
