The measurement of a1- antitrypsin aids in the diagnosis of several conditions including adult cirrhosis of the liver. In addition, a1- antitrypsin deficiency has been associated with pulmonary emphysema. This test should be used in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. ## Device Story The Human alpha-1 Antitrypsin Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent system used on the SPAPLUS turbidimetric analyzer. It measures alpha-1-antitrypsin levels in human serum samples. The device utilizes turbidimetric immunoassay principles; antigen-antibody complexes form in the presence of the reagent, causing turbidity proportional to the concentration of alpha-1-antitrypsin in the sample. The analyzer measures this turbidity to provide a quantitative result. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing liver cirrhosis and pulmonary emphysema associated with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. The test is intended to be used alongside other clinical and laboratory findings to support patient management. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on analytical performance characteristics of the assay on the SPAPLUS platform. ## Technological Characteristics Turbidimetric immunoassay; quantitative measurement of alpha-1-antitrypsin in human serum; designed for use on the SPAPLUS analyzer platform. Class II device (21 CFR 866.5130). ## Regulatory Identification An alpha-1-antitrypsin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the alpha-1-antitrypsin (a plasma protein) in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of several conditions including juvenile and adult cirrhosis of the liver. In addition, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency has been associated with pulmonary emphysema. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
