The EasyRA µALB reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of micro-albumin in human urine, using the MEDICA "EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer" in clinical laboratories. Micro-albumin measurements using immunological tests aid in the diagnosis of kidney diseases. The EasyRA micro-albumin (µALB) calibrator facilitates measurements of µALB on the EasyRA clinical chemistry analyzer when used in conjunction with Medica's µALB reagent. The µALB calibrator is used to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of µALB in human urine.
Device Story
EasyRA micro-albumin (µALB) Reagent and Calibrator are in vitro diagnostic components for use on the Medica EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer. The reagent utilizes an immunological test method to quantify micro-albumin in human urine samples. The calibrator establishes reference points for the analyzer to ensure accurate measurement values. The system is intended for use by trained laboratory personnel in clinical settings. Results assist clinicians in the diagnosis of kidney diseases. The device operates as part of an automated clinical chemistry workflow.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and performance characteristics of the immunological assay.
Technological Characteristics
Immunoturbidimetric assay. Reagents: R1 (buffer/preservative), R2 (goat anti-human albumin antibody). Calibrators: human albumin in saline (Tris/NaCl). Measurement: 340 nm and 700 nm. Form factor: liquid, ready-to-use. Connectivity: RFID tag on reagent wedge for parameter storage. Sterilization: N/A (in vitro diagnostic reagent).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative determination of microalbumin in human urine to aid in the diagnosis of kidney diseases. For prescription use in clinical laboratories.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An albumin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the albumin (a plasma protein) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of albumin aids in the diagnosis of kidney and intestinal diseases.
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 § 866.9.

## Dear Dr. Makris:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
