Profile: MeDiCa Inc. specializes in the manufacturing and marketing of auto-immune disease test kits. We also provide components for in-vitro diagnostics using indirect immuno-florescence. Our test kits are used to detect anti-nuclear, anti-nDNA, anti-mitochondrial and anti-endomysial antibodies in human sera.

The company is ISO 13485 certified.

FDA Registration Number: 2021875

12 Products/Services (Click for related suppliers)

• Anti-Mitochondrial Test

• Antinuclear Antibody Test System

• Antinuclear Antibody, Indirect Immunofluorescen (FDA Code: DHN / 866.5100)

An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

• Autoimmune Test Kits

• Endomysial Autoantibodies (FDA Code: MVM / 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).

• Indirect Immunofluorescent Anti-Smooth Muscle Antibody Test (FDA Code: DBE / 866.5120)

An antismooth muscle antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the antismooth muscle antibodies (antibodies to nonstriated, involuntary muscle) in serum. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) and autoimmune connective tissue diseases (diseases resulting from antibodies produced against the body's own tissues).

• Indirect Immunofluorescent Antimitochondrial Antibody Test (FDA Code: DBM / 866.5090)

An antimitochondrial antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the antimitochondrial antibodies in human serum. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of diseases that produce a spectrum of autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissue), such as primary biliary cirrhosis (degeneration of liver tissue) and chronic active hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).

• Indirect Immunofluorescent Multiple Auto Antibody (FDA Code: DBL / 866.5660)

• Indirect Immunofluorescent Test, Antiparietal Antibody (FDA Code: DBJ / 866.5110)

An antiparietal antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the specific antibody for gastric parietal cells in serum and other body fluids. Gastric parietal cells are those cells located in the stomach that produce a protein that enables vitamin B12to be absorbed by the body. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of vitamin B12deficiency (or pernicious anemia), atrophic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and autoimmune connective tissue diseases (diseases resulting when the body produces antibodies against its own tissues).

• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Test (FDA Code: DHC / 866.5820)

A systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum and other body fluids that react with cellular nuclear double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or other nuclear constituents that are specifically diagnostic of SLE. Measurement of nuclear double-stranded DNA antibodies aids in the diagnosis of SLE (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which tissues are attacked by the person's own antibodies).

• Thyroid Antibody Test System

• Thyroid Autoantibody Test System (FDA Code: JZO / 866.5870)

A thyroid autoantibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the thyroid autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues). Measurement of thyroid autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of certain thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's disease (chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis), nontoxic goiter (enlargement of thyroid gland), Grave's disease (enlargement of the thyroid gland with protrusion of the eyeballs), and cancer of the thyroid.
