Complement reagent IVD

Complement reagent IVD refers to a solution containing complement proteins used in laboratory testing of clinical specimens. It is employed either alone or with other in vitro diagnostic devices to support processes such as staining, processing, or testing, particularly in methods like complement-dependent cytotoxicity for HLA tissue typing or complement fixation tests for antigen-antibody reactions.

These reagents are regulated as in vitro diagnostic medical devices and are intended for professional use in clinical laboratories. Their classification and supply depend on the specific intended use and jurisdiction, but they are not classified based on the presence of drugs or medication, as they contain only biological proteins.
