These assays are designed for use with the IMMAGE Immunochemistry System. ## Device Story Reagents for IMMAGE Immunochemistry System; used for quantitative determination of apolipoprotein A-1 and B in human serum. Principle of operation: rate nephelometric immunoassay. System measures light scatter to determine analyte concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output provided as concentration values (mg/dL) to healthcare providers for clinical assessment of lipid profiles and cardiovascular risk. Benefits include automated, standardized measurement of apolipoproteins compared to manual or older system methods. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Method comparison study against predicate devices on the ARRAY system showed high correlation (r=0.983 for APA, r=0.991 for APB). Within-run imprecision (n=80) demonstrated %CVs ranging from 2.5% to 5.5% across three concentration levels for both analytes. Stability studies confirmed 24-month shelf-life and 14-day on-board/calibration stability. ## Technological Characteristics Rate nephelometry assay. Reagents supplied in plastic cartridges. Reaction temperature 37°C. Quantitative measurement range: APA (25-450 mg/dL), APB (35-450 mg/dL). Designed for use on the IMMAGE Immunochemistry System. ## Regulatory Identification A lipoprotein test system is a device intended to measure lipoprotein in serum and plasma. Lipoprotein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases. ## Predicate Devices - Beckman Immunochemistry Systems Apolipoprotein A-1 Reagent ([K862019](/device/K862019.md)) - Beckman Immunochemistry Systems Apolipoprotein B Reagent ([K862386](/device/K862386.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
