The presence of these antibodies, when considered in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings, is an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ## Device Story QUANTA Lite™ RF IgA ELISA is an in vitro diagnostic test for detecting IgA rheumatoid factor antibodies in patient serum samples. The device utilizes enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology to provide semiquantitative results. It is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel. The output is used by physicians as an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, alongside other clinical and laboratory data, to support clinical decision-making and patient management. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Semiquantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for IgA rheumatoid factor detection. In vitro diagnostic device, class II, product code DHR. ## Regulatory Identification A rheumatoid factor immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the rheumatoid factor (antibodies to immunoglobulins) in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. Measurement of rheumatoid factor may aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
