• Agar

• Analyte Specific Reagents, Asr Reagents (FDA Code: MVU / 864.4020)

Analyte specific reagents (ASR's) are antibodies, both polyclonal and monoclonal, specific receptor proteins, ligands, nucleic acid sequences, and similar reagents which, through specific binding or chemical reaction with substances in a specimen, are intended for use in a diagnostic application for identification and quantification of an individual chemical substance or ligand in biological specimens. ASR's that otherwise fall within this definition are not within the scope of subpart E of this part when they are sold to:

• Antibiotic Gentamicin

• Balanced Salt Solutions (FDA Code: KIP / 864.2875)

A balanced salt solution or formulation is a defined mixture of salts and glucose in a simple medium. This device is included as a necessary component of most cell culture systems. This media component controls for pH, osmotic pressure, energy source, and inorganic ions.

• Blotters (Semi-Dry)

• Chromosome Culture Kit (FDA Code: KIQ / 864.2260)

A chromosome culture kit is a device containing the necessary ingredients (e.g., Minimum Essential Media (MEM) of McCoy's 5A culture media, phytohemagglutinin, fetal calf serum, antibiotics, and heparin) used to culture tissues for diagnosis of congenital chromosome abnormalities.

• Complement Reagent (FDA Code: KTQ / 866.4100)

A complement reagent is a device that consists of complement, a naturally occurring serum protein from any warm-blooded animal such as guinea pigs, that may be included as a component part of serological test kits used in the diagnosis of disease.

• Conventional LB Agar Plates

• Culture Reagents, Pen-Strep

• Culture Reagents, SOC Media

• Cytokeratins (FDA Code: LYE / 866.5550)

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.

• Differential Cell Counter (FDA Code: GKZ / 864.5220)

An automated differential cell counter is a device used to identify one or more of the formed elements of the blood. The device may also have the capability to flag, count, or classify immature or abnormal hematopoietic cells of the blood, bone marrow, or other body fluids. These devices may combine an electronic particle counting method, optical method, or a flow cytometric method utilizing monoclonal CD (cluster designation) markers. The device includes accessory CD markers.

• Fetal Hemoglobin Stain (FDA Code: GHQ / 864.7455)

A fetal hemoglobin assay is a device that is used to determine the presence and distribution of fetal hemoglobin (hemoglobin F) in red cells or to measure the amount of fetal hemoglobin present. The assay may be used to detect fetal red cells in the maternal circulation or to detect the elevated levels of fetal hemoglobin exhibited in cases of hemoglobin abnormalities such as thalassemia (a hereditary hemolytic anemia characterized by a decreased synthesis of one or more types of hemoglobin polypeptide chains). The hemoglobin determination may be made by methods such as electrophoresis, alkali denaturation, column chromatography, or radial immunodiffusion.

• Formalin Containing Fixative (FDA Code: LDY / 864.4010)

• General Purpose Reagent (FDA Code: LDT)

• Gentamicin

• Hematology Stain (FDA Code: KQC / 864.1850)

Dye and chemical solution stains for medical purposes are mixtures of synthetic or natural dyes or nondye chemicals in solutions used in staining cells and tissues for diagnostic histopathology, cytopathology, or hematology.

• Hla-dqb Typing Kit (FDA Code: MVS / 866.5660)

A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).

• Human and Animal Sera (FDA Code: KIS / 864.2800)

Animal and human sera are biological products, obtained from the blood of humans or other animals, that provide the necessary growth-promoting nutrients in a cell culture system.

• Immunohistochemistry Reagents And Kits (FDA Code: NJT / 864.1860)

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.

• Instrumentation For Clinical Multiplex Test Systems (FDA Code: NSU / 862.2570)

• Intravenous Gentamicin

• Labeled Medical Laboratory Equipment (FDA Code: LXG / 862.2050)

General purpose laboratory equipment labeled or promoted for a specific medical use is a device that is intended to prepare or examine specimens from the human body and that is labeled or promoted for a specific medical use.

• LB Broth

• Leukocyte Typing Test (FDA Code: LGO / 864.7675)

A leukocyte peroxidase test is a device used to distinguish certain myeloid cells derived from the bone marrow, i.e., neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes, from lymphoid cells of the lymphatic system and erythroid cells of the red blood cell series on the basis of their peroxidase activity as evidenced by staining. The results of this test are used in the differential diagnosis of the leukemias.

• Liquid SOC Media

• Lymphocyte Separation Medium (FDA Code: JCF / 864.8500)

A lymphocyte separation medium is a device used to isolate lymphocytes from whole blood.

• Molecular Analyte Specific Reagents (ASR)

• Mycoplasma Detection Kit (FDA Code: KIW / 864.2360)

Mycoplasma detection media and components are used to detect and isolate mycoplasma pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO), a common microbial contaminant in cell cultures.

• Ophthalmology Culture Reagents Agar

• Ophthalmology Culture Reagents LB Agar Plates

• Pediatric Gentamicin

• Pen-Strep

• Pen-Strep Solution

• SOC Media

• Synthetic Cell and Tissue Culture Media and Components (FDA Code: KIT / 864.2220)

Synthetic cell and tissue culture media and components are substances that are composed entirely of defined components (e.g., amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts) that are essential for the survival and development of cell lines of humans and other animals. This does not include tissue culture media for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications as described in 876.5885 of this chapter.

• Vertical Electrophorese Cells & Blotters

• Warmed LB agar plates

• Water Based Hematology Stainer

• Whole Human Serum (FDA Code: DGR / 866.5700)

A whole human plasma or serum immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the proteins in plasma or serum. Measurements of proteins in plasma or serum aid in the diagnosis of any disease concerned with abnormal levels of plasma or serum proteins, e.g., agammaglobulinemia, allergies, multiple myeloma, rheumatoid vasculitis, or hereditary angioneurotic edema.
