Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA is an immunological test system designed for the quantitative measurement of beta-2-microglobulin in serum or plasma. Beta-2-microglobulin is a low-molecular-weight protein associated with the major histocompatibility complex, commonly used as a biomarker for monitoring renal function, inflammatory diseases, and certain malignancies. This enzyme immunoassay (EIA) provides a sensitive and specific method for detecting and quantifying beta-2-microglobulin levels in clinical samples.
This device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories. Supplied as a single-use reagent kit, it requires no special storage conditions beyond refrigeration and protection from light. The system adheres to FDA 510(k) clearance under product code JZG, with regulatory classification as a Class II device (regulation number 866.5630). It is not intended for MRI use and must be handled in accordance with standard laboratory practices for immunological assays.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What clinical conditions is the Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA used to monitor?
The Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA is designed to measure beta-2-microglobulin levels, a biomarker linked to renal function, inflammatory diseases, and certain malignancies. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function, active inflammation, or progression of conditions like multiple myeloma. Clinicians use it to track disease activity or treatment response in these contexts.
How is the Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA supplied, and what storage requirements apply?
This device is supplied as a single-use reagent kit, meaning each kit is intended for one testing procedure only. No special storage conditions are required beyond refrigeration (typically 2–8°C) and protection from light. Always follow standard laboratory practices for immunological assays to maintain integrity until use.
Is the Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA reusable, or is it intended for single-use only?
The Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA is explicitly designed for single-use only. Each kit contains reagents calibrated for one assay cycle, and reuse could compromise accuracy or introduce contamination. Adherence to single-use guidelines ensures reliable results and compliance with FDA clearance requirements.
What regulatory classification and clearance status does this device hold?
The Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA is classified as a Class II device under FDA regulation 866.5630, with clearance via a 510(k) submission (K900449). It was determined substantially equivalent to a predicate device through the Immunology (IM) Advisory Committee review process. The clearance does not imply suitability for MRI use or alternative diagnostic contexts.
Can this test be performed on plasma or only serum samples?
The Pharmacia B2 Micro EIA is validated for use with both serum and plasma samples. Beta-2-microglobulin levels are measurable in either matrix, though clinicians should follow standard sample preparation protocols (e.g., centrifugation for plasma) to ensure consistency. Always verify sample type against the assay’s instructions for optimal results.
