Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Caltag CD4 R-PE Monoclonal Antibody is a diagnostic reagent classified as a Counter, Differential Cell, designed for identifying and quantifying CD4-positive cells in hematological samples. It employs a monoclonal antibody conjugated with R-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) fluorescence to facilitate flow cytometric analysis, enabling precise enumeration of CD4 T-lymphocytes in clinical and research settings.
This reagent is supplied as a ready-to-use diagnostic tool for in vitro laboratory use, intended for single-use applications in flow cytometry systems. It requires no additional sterilization beyond manufacturer-provided packaging and is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K944128) as a Class II device under regulation number 864.5220. Storage conditions and handling must adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain reagent integrity, though specific sterility or MRI safety considerations are not applicable.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What is the primary use of the Caltag CD4 R-PE Monoclonal Antibody in a clinical setting?
This reagent is specifically designed for identifying and quantifying CD4-positive cells in hematological samples. It uses a monoclonal antibody conjugated with R-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) fluorescence to enable precise enumeration of CD4 T-lymphocytes through flow cytometric analysis, which is essential for monitoring immune function, diagnosing HIV/AIDS, and assessing immune response in clinical and research settings.
Is the Caltag CD4 R-PE Monoclonal Antibody intended for single-use or repeated use?
The device is explicitly supplied as a ready-to-use diagnostic reagent for single-use applications in flow cytometry systems. It is not designed for reuse, and the manufacturer’s packaging ensures no additional sterilization is required beyond what is provided.
How should the Caltag CD4 R-PE Monoclonal Antibody be stored to maintain its integrity?
Storage conditions must follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preserve reagent integrity, though specific details (e.g., temperature ranges) are not provided in the data. Since it is a diagnostic reagent for in vitro use, proper handling—such as avoiding contamination or exposure to extreme temperatures—is critical to ensure accurate flow cytometric analysis.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this monoclonal antibody?
The Caltag CD4 R-PE Monoclonal Antibody was cleared under the FDA 510(k) pathway (K944128) as a Class II device under regulation number 864.5220, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE). The submission was reviewed by the Hematology (HE) Advisory Committee and filed under product code GKZ, indicating its classification as a Counter, Differential Cell device.
