Intended Use

The N-Assay TIA C3 Test Kit is intended to be used for the quantitation of C3 in human serum by immunoturbidimetric assay. The measurement of C3 aids in the diagnosis of immunological disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.

Device Story

N-Assay TIA C3 Test Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent system for the quantitative determination of C3 complement protein in human serum. The device utilizes an immunoturbidimetric assay principle; antigen-antibody complexes formed between C3 in the patient sample and specific anti-C3 antibodies cause turbidity, which is measured photometrically. The assay is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing immunological disorders and assessing complement component deficiencies. The device provides quantitative data to support clinical decision-making regarding immune system status.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and performance characteristics typical of in vitro diagnostic assays for complement components.

Technological Characteristics

Immunoturbidimetric assay; utilizes specific anti-C3 antibodies for antigen-antibody complex formation; photometric detection of turbidity; in vitro diagnostic reagent kit; professional use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the quantitative measurement of C3 in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of immunological disorders, particularly those involving complement component deficiencies.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A complement components immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques complement components C1q , C1r , C1s , C2 , C3 , C4 , C5 , C6 , C7 , C8 , and C9 , in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. Complement is a group of serum proteins which destroy infectious agents. Measurements of these proteins aids in the diagnosis of immunologic disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.

Dear Ms. Rees:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.
