An alpha-1-glycoproteins immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques alpha-1-glycoproteins (a group of plasma proteins found in the alpha-1 group when subjected to electrophoresis) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of specific alpha-1-glycoproteins may aid in the diagnosis of collagen (connective tissue) disorders, tuberculosis, infections, extensive malignancy, and diabetes.
(b)Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.
