## Intended Use

AESKULISA ANA-8Pro is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay for the separate qualitative detection of IgG antibodies against eight cellular and nuclear antigens in human serum. The wells are separately coated with recombinant 70 kDa U1 snRNP, SS-B, SS-A 52 kDa, Scl 70, centromere protein B (CenpB), Jo-1 and highly purified native human snRNP/Sm. Sm and SS-A 60 kDa. The assay is an aid in the differential diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases and should be used in conjunction with other serological tests and clinical findings.

## Device Story

AESKULISA test kits are solid-phase enzyme immunoassays (ELISA) for detecting IgG antibodies against specific nuclear/cellular antigens in human serum. Wells are coated with recombinant or purified native human antigens (e.g., U1 snRNP, SS-A, SS-B, Scl-70, Cenp-B, Jo-1, Sm). Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel; results are interpreted by physicians alongside other serological tests and clinical findings to aid in diagnosing systemic rheumatic diseases. The assay provides qualitative or semi-quantitative antibody detection, assisting in the differential diagnosis of conditions like SLE, MCTD, and scleroderma.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). Wells coated with recombinant or purified native human antigens. Detects IgG antibodies. In vitro diagnostic use.

## Regulatory Identification

An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

Dear Mr. Ammons:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and have determined these devices are substantially equivalent (for the indical.inns for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market these devices, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your devices comply with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).

#### Page 2 -

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific information about the application of labeling requirements to your device, or questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 594-3084. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
