FDA Advisors Back Approval of Baebies’ SEEKER Analyzer for Newborns
An FDA advisory committee unanimously agreed that Baebies’ Seeker analyzer should be approved to detect lysosomal enzymes in newborns. The Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology Devices Panel had originally expressed concerns about false positives and negatives associated with the diagnostic test, but it ultimately decided that the benefits outweighed the risk and the Instruction for Use statement could indicate the limitations. Baebies is seeking a de novo classification for the system, which includes the Seeker analyzer, the Seeker 4-plex assay kit, Seeker cartridges, the Spot Logic software and quality control materials. The diagnostic uses digital microfluidic technology to measure lysosomal enzymes associated with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1 disease, Pompe disease, Gaucher disease and Fabry disease.
