Lipoprotein (a) test kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of Lipoprotein (a) in serum and plasma. The method is an immunoturbidimetric assay in which agglutination occurs due to an antigenantibody reaction between Lp(a) in a sample and anti-Lp(a) antibody adsorbed to latex particles. The agglutination is detected as an absorbance change at 700nm proportional to the concentration of Lp(a) in the sample. Lp(a) determination is intended for use in conjunction with clinical evaluation, patient risk assessment and other lipid tests to evaluate disorders of lipid metabolism and lto assess coronary heart disease in specific populations. This Application Sheet has been developed for the Hitachi 717 analyser and must be used by suitably qualified laboratory personnel under appropriate laboratory conditions ## Device Story In vitro diagnostic reagent kit for quantitative measurement of Lipoprotein (a) in serum and plasma samples. Operates via immunoturbidimetric assay; antigen-antibody reaction between sample Lp(a) and latex-adsorbed anti-Lp(a) antibodies causes agglutination. Agglutination measured as absorbance change at 700nm, proportional to Lp(a) concentration. Designed for use on Hitachi 717 analyzer. Operated by qualified laboratory personnel in clinical laboratory settings. Output provides quantitative Lp(a) levels to clinicians for integration with patient history, lipid profiles, and risk assessment for coronary heart disease and lipid metabolism disorders. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Immunoturbidimetric assay; latex particle-enhanced. Measures absorbance at 700nm. Designed for use on Hitachi 717 analyzer. Reagent-based diagnostic test. ## Regulatory Identification A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also § 862.2 in this part.) ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

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 (PMA), 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 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. {1}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 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 advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and i additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR 807.97).
