## Indications for Use

Binding assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of folate in human serum. The binding assay is intended for use on the Roche Elecsys 2010 and Modular Analytics E170 immunoassay analyzers.

## Device Story

Elecsys Folate II Assay is an in vitro diagnostic binding assay for quantitative folate measurement in human serum. It utilizes a competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay principle where folate in the patient sample competes with biotin-labeled folate for binding sites on a ruthenium-labeled folate binding protein (FBP) complex. The assay is performed on Roche Elecsys 2010 and Modular Analytics E170 immunoassay analyzers. Healthcare providers use the resulting folate concentration levels to assist in the diagnosis and clinical management of anemias associated with gastrointestinal malabsorption. The device provides automated quantitative results to the clinician.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on analytical performance comparisons and method validation.

## Technological Characteristics

Competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay. Reagents include ruthenium-labeled folate binding protein (FBP) and biotin-labeled folate. Designed for use on Roche Elecsys 2010 and Modular Analytics E170 automated immunoassay analyzers. Measuring range: 0.600 - 20.00 ng/ml (1.36 - 45.4 nmol/L).

## Regulatory 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 Ms. Coenen:

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. Ilsting of devices. good manufacturing practice. labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If vour 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).

{3}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 –

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific information about the application of labeling requirements to your device, or questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 594-3084. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
