Indications for Use
The Diazyme Human Kappa Free Light Chain Assay is intended as a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of Kappa Free Light Chain (FLC) concentration in serum on validated analyzers. The measurement of Kappa FLC in conjunction with Lambda FLC aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. For in-vitro diagnostic use only. The Diazyme Human Lambda Free Light Chain Assay is intended as a latex particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of Lambda Free Light Chain (FLC) concentration in serum on validated analyzers. The measurement of Lambda FLC in conjunction with Kappa FLC aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. For in-vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
The Diazyme Human Kappa and Lambda FLC Assays are in-vitro diagnostic reagents used on validated clinical chemistry analyzers (e.g., Roche cobas c 501). The device utilizes latex particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetry; patient serum samples are mixed with latex particles coated with polyclonal rabbit/goat anti-human FLC antibodies. FLC in the sample binds to the antibodies, causing agglutination; the resulting turbidity is measured optically. The instrument calculates FLC concentration by interpolating the signal against a 6-point calibration curve. Results are used by clinicians alongside other laboratory and clinical findings to diagnose and monitor multiple myeloma. The assay is for prescription use only. This submission specifically revises the Limit of Quantification (LoQ) claims for the assays.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Linearity was validated across the analytical measuring interval (AMI) using dilution panels on the Roche cobas c 501 and other analyzers (Abbott Architect c8000, Beckman AU680, Diazyme c270). Detection capability (LoB, LoD, LoQ) was established per CLSI EP17-A2 using immune-depleted serum samples and verified across multiple instrument platforms. No clinical prospective or retrospective studies were required for this modification.
Technological Characteristics
Latex particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. Reagents consist of Tris buffer (R1) and latex microparticles coated with polyclonal rabbit/goat anti-human FLC antibodies (R2). Quantitative measurement via optical turbidity. Validated for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers (e.g., Roche cobas c 501).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of Kappa and Lambda Free Light Chain (FLC) concentrations in serum to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma in patients. For in-vitro diagnostic use only.
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.
