Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
This device is an Antinuclear Antibody, Indirect Immunofluorescent, Antigen, Control, used for detecting antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in serum or plasma samples. It employs Crithidia luciliae cells as the substrate to identify specific immunofluorescence patterns associated with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or other connective tissue disorders.
The HEP-2 Crithidia Luciliae ANA Test Kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories. Supplied as a single-use reagent, it requires no special storage conditions beyond refrigeration and is classified under FDA regulation number 866.5100 as a Class II device. Cleared via a Traditional 510(k) pathway in 1981, it adheres to immunology testing standards and is not MRI-compatible. The kit includes all necessary components for performing indirect immunofluorescence assays.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of autoimmune diseases can this test help identify when detecting antinuclear antibodies (ANA) using Crithidia luciliae cells?
This test uses Crithidia luciliae cells to detect specific immunofluorescence patterns linked to autoimmune diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It can also help identify other connective tissue disorders where ANA presence is relevant, though the exact disease correlation depends on clinical interpretation of the pattern observed.
Is this test kit single-use, and if so, what are the storage requirements?
Yes, the HEP-2 Crithidia Luciliae ANA Test Kit is designed for single-use only. Storage is straightforward—no special conditions are required beyond refrigeration, ensuring stability and reliability for diagnostic use.
How is this device regulated, and what pathway was used for its FDA clearance?
This device is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulation number 866.5100 and was cleared via the Traditional 510(k) pathway in 1981. It adheres to immunology testing standards and is intended for use in clinical laboratories performing indirect immunofluorescence assays.
What kind of samples can be tested with this kit, and is it compatible with any imaging modalities?
The kit is designed for in vitro diagnostic use with serum or plasma samples. It is not MRI-compatible, so it cannot be used in magnetic resonance imaging environments.
