It measures B2-Microglobulin concentrations in human serum and urine samples. The device utilizes immunological principles to quantify the analyte, providing results that assist clinicians in diagnosing active rheumatoid arthritis and kidney disease. It is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on the device's intended use and technological characteristics as an immunological test system. ## Technological Characteristics Immunological test system for B2-Microglobulin measurement. Designed for use with the Minineph analyzer. In vitro diagnostic device. ## Regulatory Identification A beta-2-microglobulin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques beta-2-microglobulin (a protein molecule) in serum, urine, and other body fluids. Measurement of beta-2-microglobulin aids in the diagnosis of active rheumatoid arthritis and kidney disease. ## 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 the limitations in § 866.9. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
