The Optilite Freelite Kappa Free Kit is intended for the quantitative in vitro measurement of kappa free light chains in serum using the Binding Site Optilite turbidimetric analyser. Measurement of free light chains aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenström’s macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. The Optilite Freelite Lambda Free Kit is intended for the quantitative in vitro measurement of kappa free light chains in serum using the Binding Site Optilite turbidimetric analyser. Measurement of free light chains aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenström’s macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings.
Device Story
Optilite Freelite Kappa and Lambda Free Kits are in vitro diagnostic reagents for use on the Binding Site Optilite turbidimetric analyser. The system measures free light chains in serum samples via turbidimetric immunoassay. The analyser automates sample processing and optical measurement; results are provided to clinicians to assist in diagnosing and monitoring plasma cell dyscrasias and related connective tissue disorders. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings. Output data supports clinical decision-making regarding disease status and treatment efficacy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is supported by analytical performance and bench testing on the Optilite turbidimetric analyser.
Technological Characteristics
Turbidimetric immunoassay reagents for use on the Optilite turbidimetric analyser. Measures kappa and lambda free light chains in serum. System utilizes automated optical turbidimetry. Connectivity and software are integrated into the Optilite analyser platform.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of kappa and lambda free light chains in serum to aid in diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenström’s macroglobulinaemia, AL amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease, and connective tissue diseases (e.g., SLE) in adult patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques both kappa and lambda types of light chain portions of immunoglobulin molecules in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. 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.

Dear Ms. Thomas:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications 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 the device, 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
