Imprecision studies (n=80 and n=30) demonstrated within-run CVs of 1.6-3.3% and total CVs of 1.6-3.7% across various serum levels. Stability data supports 24-month shelf-life and 14-day open container/calibration stability. ## Technological Characteristics Rate nephelometry; goat-derived antibody; liquid reagent; optimized for IMMAGE Immunochemistry System; utilizes automated fluidics for sample/reagent mixing; quantitative measurement based on light scattering intensity. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Beckman Alpha₁-Antitrypsin (AAT) ([K771603](/device/K771603.md)) ## Reference Devices - Beckman Array 360 System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
