## Indications for Use

For measuring human haemolytic complement activity in human serum, as an aid in the assessment of complement activity by the Classical pathway in clinical laboratories, and as an aid in the diagnosis of complement component deficiencies.

## Device Story

The Total Haemolytic Complement RID Kit is an in vitro diagnostic device used in clinical laboratories to measure complement activity in human serum. It utilizes Radial Immunodiffusion (RID) technology to quantify complement function via the Classical pathway. The device assists clinicians in assessing immune system function and diagnosing complement component deficiencies. Results are interpreted by laboratory professionals to inform clinical decision-making regarding patient immune status.

## Technological Characteristics

Radial Immunodiffusion (RID) assay for the measurement of complement activity in human serum. In vitro diagnostic device.

## Regulatory Identification

A complement components immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques complement components C1q , C1r , C1s , C2 , C3 , C4 , C5 , C6 , C7 , C8 , and C9 , in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. Complement is a group of serum proteins which destroy infectious agents. Measurements of these proteins aids in the diagnosis of immunologic disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.
