Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Cardiolipin G EIA Test System is an Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) Test System designed to measure anticardiolipin antibodies in serum and other body fluids. It employs immunochemical techniques to detect autoantibodies, specifically those targeting cardiolipin, which are associated with immunological conditions.
This system is intended for use in clinical laboratories and has received FDA 510(k) clearance under the classification of MID (Moderate-Risk Device) in immunology. Supplied as a kit, it is intended for single-use and requires adherence to standard laboratory protocols for handling and storage. The device is regulated under FDA regulation number 866.5660 and is classified as a Class II medical device.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of samples can the Cardiolipin G EIA Test System analyze, and how should they be prepared before testing?
The Cardiolipin G EIA Test System is designed to measure anticardiolipin antibodies in serum and other body fluids. While the exact preparation instructions are detailed in the kit’s accompanying documentation, standard laboratory protocols for handling and processing samples should be followed. This typically includes centrifugation to separate serum or plasma from whole blood and ensuring the sample is free of clots or contaminants before testing.
Is the Cardiolipin G EIA Test System intended for single-use only, and if so, what happens to leftover reagents after opening?
Yes, the Cardiolipin G EIA Test System is explicitly supplied as a single-use kit. Once opened, any unused reagents should be discarded according to laboratory biohazard protocols, as reuse is not permitted. This ensures accuracy and prevents cross-contamination between tests.
What storage conditions are required for the Cardiolipin G EIA Test System before and after opening?
The kit must be stored under conditions specified in the manufacturer’s instructions, though the provided data does not detail exact temperature or humidity requirements. Generally, such immunoassay kits are stored refrigerated (typically 2–8°C) before opening. After opening, any unused components should be handled per the kit’s guidelines, often requiring refrigeration until use or immediate disposal if not used promptly.
How is the regulatory status of this device defined, and what does the FDA 510(k) clearance indicate about its risk classification?
The Cardiolipin G EIA Test System received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Moderate-Risk Device (MID) classification in immunology. This means it is classified as a Class II device, requiring premarket notification (510(k)) to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. The clearance does not imply its intended clinical use but confirms it meets FDA safety and effectiveness standards for diagnostic testing.
