## Intended Use

The Wako IgA II -- HA test is an in vitro assay for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in serum.

## Device Story

Wako IgA II-HA is an in vitro diagnostic turbidimetric immunoassay for serum IgA quantification. Device utilizes buffer solution and anti-human IgA antibodies; sample IgA binds to antibodies to form insoluble aggregates, increasing solution turbidity. Turbidity is measured optically; signal intensity is proportional to IgA concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output provides quantitative IgA levels to assist clinicians in diagnosing and monitoring liver disease, infections, and immune disorders. Benefits include improved sensitivity, precision, and faster assay turnaround compared to traditional single radial immunodiffusion (SRID) methods.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via correlation studies against the predicate device (Wako IgA HA-Direct). Results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.994 and a regression equation of y = 1.227x - 63.64. Precision studies confirmed acceptable day-to-day performance. Minimum detectable level is 15 mg/dL.

## Technological Characteristics

Turbidimetric immunoassay. Reagents include buffer solution and anti-human IgA antibodies. Optical measurement of antigen-antibody complex turbidity. Standalone in vitro diagnostic reagent system.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Wako IgA HA-Direct

### 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

The Wako IgA II -- HA test is an in vitro assay for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin A in serum.

#### Summary:

Approximately 10% of Serum immunoglobulin is IgA. In its monometric form, its structure is similar to that of IgG, but 10-15% of IgA in serum is polymetric. Another form of IgA is called secretory IgA. It is found in tears, sweat, saliva, milk, colostrum, and gastrointestinal and bronchial secretions.

The quantification of immunoglobulins in serum is important for the diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis of chronic liver diseases, infectious diseases, lymphocytosis, multiple myeloma, primary and secondary immune failure, etc. The conventional test, single radial immunodiffusion (SRID), has been widely used. In recent years, there have been many reports on the use of turbidity or light scattering for the measurement of antigen-antibody complexes formed in solution. Advantages over conventional methods increased sensitivity, better precision, and shortened assay time. The Wako IgA II-HA test is a highly specific reagent based on turbidimetric immunoassay. 1,2

#### Principle:

When a sample is mixed with the Buffer solution and Anti-IgA, IgA in the sample combines specifically with anti-human IgA antibody in the Anti-IgA to yield an insoluble aggregate that causes increased turbidity. The degree of turbidity can be measured optically and is proportional to the amount of IgA in the sample.

The safety and effectiveness of the Wako IgA II-HA is demonstrated by its substantial equivalency to Wako IgA HA-Direct product. Both test systems are used to measure IgA in serum. In comparison studies against the predicate assay, a correlation coefficient of 0.994 and a regression equation of y = 1.227 x - 63.64 was obtained. Precision studies indicate acceptable values can be obtained on a day to day basis. The minimum detectable level of this method is 15 mg/dL.

Re: K993927 Trade Name: Wako IgA II HA Immunoglobulin Calibrator Set Regulatory Class: II Product Code: CZP Dated: September 30, 1999 Received: November 18, 1999

Dear Ms. Mallory:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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.
