Indications for Use
Vision Biosystems Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 is intended for laboratory use to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, estrogen receptor (ER) antigen in sections of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue. Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 specifically binds to the ER antigen located in the nucleus of ER positive normal and neoplastic cells. Origin™ Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 is intended for laboratory use to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, estrogen receptor (ER) antigen in sections of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue. Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 specifically binds to the ER antigen located in the nucleus of ER positive normal and neoplastic cells. Origin™ antibodies are optimized for use with the Ventana® Medical Systems, NexES® and BenchMark™ Immunohistochemistry Staining Systems in combination with Ventana® Detection Kits.
Device Story
Vision BioSystems ER 6F11 is a monoclonal mouse antibody designed to detect estrogen receptor epitopes in the nuclei of ER-positive normal and neoplastic cells. The device is used in clinical laboratories by pathologists to process formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples. The antibody binds to the target antigen, allowing for visualization via light microscopy. The resulting staining pattern provides qualitative data that pathologists interpret alongside morphological studies, patient clinical history, and other diagnostic tests. This information assists in the management, prognosis, and prediction of therapy outcomes for breast cancer patients. The device is available in various formats, including lyophilized, liquid, and ready-to-use, and is compatible with specific automated immunohistochemistry staining systems.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. The submission relies on substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices and compliance with FDA guidance for immunohistochemistry reagents.
Technological Characteristics
Mouse monoclonal antibody (clone 6F11); immunohistochemistry (IHC) principle; ready-to-use, concentrated, or lyophilized formats. Automated version uses phosphate buffer pH 7.3, 3 mg/ml carrier protein, 0.05% ProClin 300. Manual version uses 5% horse serum in PBS, 12mM sodium azide. Compatible with Ventana NexES/BenchMark automated staining systems. Standard IHC visualization via biotin-secondary/avidin-enzyme complex.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative identification of estrogen receptor (ER) antigen in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections via light microscopy. Used as an aid in management, prognosis, and therapy outcome prediction for breast cancer patients. Intended for professional laboratory use by qualified pathologists.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Immunohistochemistry test systems (IHC's) are in vitro diagnostic devices consisting of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies labeled with directions for use and performance claims, which may be packaged with ancillary reagents in kits. Their intended use is to identify, by immunological techniques, antigens in tissues or cytologic specimens. Similar devices intended for use with flow cytometry devices are not considered IHC's.
Special Controls
(2) Class II (special control, guidance document: “FDA Guidance for Submission of Immunohistochemistry Applications to the FDA,” Center for Devices and Radiologic Health, 1998). These IHC's are intended for the detection and/or measurement of certain target analytes in order to provide prognostic or predictive data that are not directly confirmed by routine histopathologic internal and external control specimens. These IHC's provide the pathologist with information that is ordinarily reported as independent diagnostic information to the ordering clinician, and the claims associated with these data are widely accepted and supported by valid scientific evidence. Examples of class II IHC's are those intended for semiquantitative measurement of an analyte, such as hormone receptors in breast cancer.
