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. ## Predicate Devices - Elecsys® Folate Assay ([K973674](/device/K973674.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
