Indications for Use
Progesterone Receptor (16) monoclonal antibody is intended to be used for the qualitative identification by light microscopy of human progesterone receptor (PR) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue by immunohistochemical staining using the automated BONDMAX system. Progesterone Receptor Clone (16) [PR (16)] specifically binds to the PR antigen located in the nucleus of PR positive normal and neoplastic cells. PR (16) is indicated as an aid in the management, prognosis and prediction of therapy outcome of breast cancer. The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.

Device Story
Device consists of mouse monoclonal antibody (Clone 16) for immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of progesterone receptor (PR) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. Available in Ready-to-Use (RTU) format for automated BOND-MAX system or concentrated liquid format. Used by pathologists in clinical laboratories to visualize PR antigen in cell nuclei via light microscopy. Staining patterns assist in breast cancer management, prognosis, and therapy prediction. Interpretation requires integration with patient history, morphological studies, and other diagnostic tests. Benefits include standardized detection of PR status to guide clinical decision-making.
Technological Characteristics
Immunohistochemistry reagent; mouse monoclonal antibody (Clone 16); targets progesterone receptor (PR) antigen; utilizes light microscopy for visualization; RTU format compatible with automated BOND-MAX system; concentrated format for manual or automated use; formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue substrate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative identification of human progesterone receptor (PR) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue as an aid in the management, prognosis, and prediction of therapy outcome for breast cancer patients.
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.
