The K-ASSAY C4 Assay is intended to be used for the quantitative determination of C4 in human serum. Complement is a group of serum proteins which destroy foreign cells. Measurement of these proteins aids in the diagnosis of immunological disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.
Device Story
K-ASSAY C4 is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for quantitative measurement of C4 protein in human serum. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Principle of operation involves immunoturbidimetric assay to detect complement component levels. Output is a quantitative concentration value used by clinicians to assess immunological status and diagnose disorders related to complement deficiencies.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Immunoturbidimetric assay for quantitative determination of C4 in human serum. In vitro diagnostic reagent.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of C4 in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of immunological disorders, particularly those associated with 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 Mr. Getty:
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 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). 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS 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.
