Intended 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 validated analyzers. The measurement of Kappa FLC in conjunction with Lambda FLC aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical 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 validated analyzers. The measurement of Lambda FLC in conjunction with Kappa FLC aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. For in-vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
Latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assays for quantitative measurement of Kappa and Lambda free light chains in human serum; performed on validated clinical chemistry analyzers. Principle: antigen-antibody reaction between FLC in patient sample and anti-FLC antibodies coated on latex particles; resulting turbidity measured spectrophotometrically. Output: quantitative concentration values used by clinicians to assist in diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel. Results interpreted alongside other clinical/laboratory data to inform patient management decisions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence established through bench testing and performance validation of the immunoturbidimetric assay.
Technological Characteristics
Latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay; utilizes anti-FLC antibodies; spectrophotometric detection; intended for use on validated clinical chemistry analyzers; in-vitro diagnostic reagent kit.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of Kappa and Lambda Free Light Chain (FLC) concentrations in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. For prescription use only.
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 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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 Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
