# §866.5420. Alpha -1-glycoproteins immunological test system.

- (a) **Identification.** 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](/cfr/21/part807-subpartE.md) of this chapter subject to [§ 866.9](/cfr/21/866.9.md).
