Indications for Use
Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 (ER 6F11) Mouse Monoclonal antibody is intended for laboratory use to qualitatively identify estrogen receptor (ER) antigen in sections of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded breast cancer tissue by immunohistochemistry methods. Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 specifically binds to the ER antigen located in the nucleus of ER positive normal and neoplastic cells. Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 is indicated as an aid in the management, prognosis and predication 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. Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 Ready-to-Use Primary Antibody for Bond™ and the Estrogen Receptor Clone 6F11 Liquid Concentrate Primary Antibody, Novocastra™ are optimized for use on the Leica Biosystems Bond III staining platform using the Bond Polymer Refine Detection Kit.
Device Story
Mouse monoclonal antibody (Clone 6F11) detects ER antigen in breast cancer tissue sections via immunohistochemistry (IHC). Used on Leica Biosystems BOND-III staining platform. Modification involves replacement of slide staining assembly (SSA) printed wiring assembly (PWA) due to microprocessor obsolescence and update of BOND software from v5.1 to v6.0. System automates staining process; pathologist evaluates nuclear staining patterns in context of clinical history and morphology. Output aids clinical decision-making regarding breast cancer management and therapy. Device operates in laboratory settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation activities included staining verification, EMC testing, hardware/firmware progression verification, system integration, system regression, and software verification. All acceptance criteria met.
Technological Characteristics
Mouse monoclonal antibody (Clone 6F11). Optimized for use on Leica Biosystems Bond III automated staining platform with Bond Polymer Refine Detection Kit. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) reagent for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative identification of estrogen receptor (ER) antigen in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue to aid in management, prognosis, and therapy outcome prediction.
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.
