In some disease states, an excess of light chains are produced by the antibody-forming cells. These free light chains, unassociated with gamma globulin molecules, can be found in a patient's body fluids and tissues. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. ## Predicate Devices - Freelite® Human Kappa Free Kit for use on the Hitachi 911/912/917/Modular P analyzers ([K023009](/device/K023009.md) and [K040009](/device/K040009.md)) - Freelite® Human Lambda Free Kit for use on the Hitachi 911/912/917/Modular P analyzers ([K023009](/device/K023009.md) and [K023131](/device/K023131.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

USA | | Establishment Registration | 2032900 | #### DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE #### Clinical Significance Normal immunoglobulins are composed of smaller units called heavy chains and light chains. There are five types of heavy chains (alpha, delta, epsilon, gamma, and mu), and two types of light chains (kappa and lambda). The heavy and light chains are produced separately within plasma cells and are assembled to form a whole ("intact") immunoglobulin. When the light chains are attached to the heavy chains they are called bound, and when they are not attached they are called free. Kappa Free Light Chain (FLC) is a 22kD protein while Lambda FLC is usually a dimer of 44kD as presented in the serum. Elevated levels of Kappa or Lambda FLC are associated with plasma cell disorders such as multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. #### Assay Principle Human Kappa (K) Free Light Chain Assay is based on a latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. Kappa FLC in the sample binds to specific anti-Kappa FLC antibody, which is coated on latex particles, and causes agglutination. The degree of the turbidity caused by agglutination can be measured optically and is proportional to the amount of Kappa FLC in the sample. The instrument calculates the Kappa FLC concentration by interpolation of obtained signal of a 6point calibration curve prepared from calibrators of known concentrations. The Diazyme Human Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay is based on a latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. Lambda FLC in the sample binds to specific anti-Lambda FLC antibody, which is coated on latex particles, and causes agglutination. The degree of the turbidity caused by agglutination can be measured optically and is proportional to the amount of Lambda FLC in the sample. The instrument calculates the Kappa FLC concentration by interpolation of obtained signal of a 6-point calibration curve prepared from calibrators of known concentrations. {6}------------------------------------------------ ### Detailed Device Description Diazyme Human Kappa (K) /Lambda (2) Free Light Chain Assay System consists of the following items: - 1. Diazyme Human Kappa (k) Free Light Chain Assay: containing reagent R1 and Reagent R2. Reagent 1 contains 100 mmol/L tris buffer, and 0.09% sodium azide Reagent 2 containing anti-human Kappa Free Light Chain Ig fraction coated on polystyrene beads and 0.09% sodium azide. - 2. Diazyme Human Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay: containing reagent R1 and Reagent R2. Reagent 1 contains 100 mmol/L tris buffer, and 0.09% sodium azide Reagent 2 containing anti-human Lambda Free Light Chain Ig fraction coated on polystyrene beads and 0.09% sodium azide. - 3. Diazyme Kappa and Lambda FLC Calibrator Set: 5 levels, serum based, liquid stable format, intended for use in establishing the calibration curve for the Diazyme Human Kappa (k) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay. - 4. Diazyme Kappa and Lambda FLC Control Set: 2 levels, serum based, liquid stable format, intended for use in monitoring the quality control of results obtained with the Diazyme Human Kappa (K) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay. Diazyme Human Kappa (k) /Lambda (2.) Free Light Chain Assays are run on clinical chemistry analyzers such as Roche Hitachi 917 analyzer (K023009). They never come into direct contact with patients. The patient's venous blood sample is first collected by a phlebotomist and then submitted for determination of Kappa and Lambda FLC concentration using Diazyme Human Kappa (k) and Lambda (λ) FLC Assay by trained professionals. The Control Unit of the Roche Hitachi 917 analyzer uses a graphical interface to control all instrument functions. The computer, keyboard, and touchscreen monitor allows users to navigate through the software, enter assay, calibrator, and control information, and make test selections. The Diazyme Kappa and Lambda FLC Hitachi 917 application parameters provided are programmed into the Hitachi 917 analyzer. The reagents, calibrators and controls are loaded into the analyzer. The Roche Hitachi 917 stores Diazyme Human Kappa (k) /Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay reagents in a refrigerated compartment. Reagent and sample pipettes automatically aspirate and dispense specified amounts of reagent or calibrators, controls, and sample into reaction cells. The change in absorbance is measured at specified wavelengths. See Reaction Scheme. Image /page/6/Figure/9 description: The image shows two diagrams, one for Kappa FLC and one for Lambda FLC. The Kappa FLC diagram shows the following steps: R1 at 150 uL and a sample at 4.0 uL are added at time 0, then the mixture is heated to 37 degrees Celsius, R2 at 50 uL is added at 4.8 minutes, and the absorbance is measured at 570 nm after 10 minutes. The Lambda FLC diagram shows similar steps, but with different volumes and times. Image /page/6/Figure/10 description: This image shows a timeline of a chemical reaction. At time zero, 120 microliters of R1 and 20 microliters of sample are added. The reaction is then incubated at 37 degrees Celsius, and at 4.8 minutes, 40 microliters of R2 are added. At 6 minutes, A1 is measured at 570nm, and at 10 minutes, A2 is measured at 570nm. {7}------------------------------------------------ After a 6-point calibration, spline-fitting is used to smoothly fit polynomial functions through mean values of the response for calibrators of known concentrations. The Roche Hitachi 917 calculates the kappa and lambda FLC concentration of a patient sample by interpolation of the obtained signal to a stored 6-point calibration curve. ## Indications for Use: The Diazyme Human Kappa (K) Free Light Chain Assay is intended as a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of Kappa Free Light Chain (FLC) concentration in serum on Hitachi 917 analyzers.

soluble antigen by turbidimetry
involves the addition of the test sample
to a solution containing the appropriate
antibody in a reaction vessel or cuvette.
A beam of light is passed through the
cuvette and as the antigen-antibody
reaction proceeds, the light passing
through the cuvette is scattered
increasingly as insoluble immune
complexes are formed. Light scatter is
monitored by measuring decrease in
intensity of the incident beam of light.
The antibody in the cuvette is in excess
so the amount of immune complex
formed is proportional to the antigen
concentration. A series of calibrators of
known antigen concentration are
assayed initially to produce a
calibration curve of measured light | Human Kappa (κ) and Lambda (λ) Free

Free Light Chain Assay. The reagents used for the Diazyme Human Kappa (x) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay are similar to the predicate and were used to develop the application for the Hitachi 917 analyzer. The similarities and differences between the predicate reagent and the Diazyme Human Kappa (x) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay are given in the table above. Detailed performance characteristics and comparison analysis are given in the filing and demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate device. The performance characteristics of the Diazyme Human Kappa (K) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay are substantially similar to that of the approved predicate test. Performance data and risk analysis indicates that differences should not affect the safety and effectiveness of the Diazyme Human Kappa (k) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay and offers users an in vitro diagnostic device system to measure Human Kappa (k) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain in human serum. ## Conclusion Detailed method comparison analysis presented in this 510k submission, together with linearity, precision and interference studies, demonstrates that the Diazyme Human Kappa(k)/Lambda (λ.) Free Light Chain Assay performance is acceptable, safe and effective. There is no significant deviations between the results obtained by Diazyme Human Kappa (k) and Lambda (λ) Free Light Chain Assay and the legally marketed predicate device Freelite® Human Kappa Free Kit/ Freelite® Human Lambda Free Kit (k023009, k023131, k040009) when testing clinical patient samples and is thus substantially similar. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/IM/subpart-f%E2%80%94immunological-test-systems/DFH/K153394](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/IM/subpart-f%E2%80%94immunological-test-systems/DFH/K153394) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
