Intended Use
This kit is intended for the quantitative in vitro determination of human IgM in human serum, lithium heparin or EDTA plasma, using the Binding Site SPAPLUS turbidimetric analyser. Measurement of IgM aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents. The test results are to be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
Device Story
The Human IgM Kit for use on SPAPLUS is an in vitro diagnostic reagent system used to quantify human IgM levels in serum or plasma samples. The device utilizes immunoturbidimetry: patient samples are mixed with goat anti-human IgM antiserum, forming insoluble antigen-antibody complexes. The SPAPLUS analyzer passes light through the suspension; the amount of transmitted light, measured by a photodiode, is inversely proportional to the IgM concentration. The system automatically calculates concentrations using a stored calibration curve. It is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in evaluating protein metabolism and immune function. The device is a modification of a previously cleared kit (K082129), featuring a change in the source of the detection antibody (goat vs. sheep) and the antibody resting buffer composition. Performance is validated through precision, linearity, and method comparison studies against the predicate.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Analytical performance was established via bench testing, including precision (repeatability, within-lab, between-instrument, and between-lot), linearity, and method comparison against the predicate. Method comparison (n=133) showed a correlation coefficient of 0.996 and a mean bias of -2.18%. Reference interval transfer was validated using 20 healthy donor samples.
Technological Characteristics
Turbidimetric immunoassay; utilizes goat anti-IgM antisera. Automated system for use on SPAPlus analyzer. Fundamental technology is unchanged from predicate device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of human IgM in serum for the assessment of immunoglobulin levels in patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, and E immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the immunoglobulins A, G, M, D, an E (serum antibodies) in serum. Measurement of these immunoglobulins aids in the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and the body's lack of ability to resist infectious agents.
