ARCHITECT Free PSA Reagent Kit, Alinity i Free PSA Reagent Kit
by Abbott Laboratories PMA
Active
PMA P980007
Overview
The ARCHITECT Free PSA Reagent Kit and Alinity i Free PSA Reagent Kit are microparticle enzyme immunoassays (MEIA) for the quantitative measurement of free prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum. These assays are intended to be used in PSA values between 4 and 10 ng/mL and non-suspicious digital rectal examination to determine the % free PSA value, which can aid in discriminating between prostate cancer and benign disease.
Supplied as reagent kits for in vitro diagnostic use, these devices are designed for use with Abbott ARCHITECT and Alinity i immunoassay systems. They are intended for professional laboratory use only and are not sterile, single-use, or MRI safety classified. Authorization is based on FDA PMA approval (P980007) under product code MTG.

Questions
What is the intended use of the ARCHITECT and Alinity i Free PSA Reagent Kits?
The ARCHITECT and Alinity i Free PSA Reagent Kits are intended for the quantitative measurement of free prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum. They are used in conjunction with PSA values between 4 and 10 ng/mL and non-suspicious digital rectal examination to calculate the % free PSA value, which aids in discriminating between prostate cancer and benign disease.
What type of assay technology do these reagent kits use?
These reagent kits use microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) technology for the quantitative measurement of free PSA in human serum, as specified in the approval documentation for the AXSYM FREE PSA assay.
Are the ARCHITECT and Alinity i Free PSA Reagent Kits sterile or single-use?
The device data does not indicate that the ARCHITECT or Alinity i Free PSA Reagent Kits are sterile or single-use. They are reagent kits designed for use with automated immunoassay systems and are intended for professional laboratory use only.
