The Synermed Glucose Reagent is for the in vitro quantitative measurement of glucose in serum on the Synermed IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbolygrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.
The Synermed IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as a multiparameter chemistry instrument that quantitates the levels of constituents in serum. The analyzer is an automated, random eccess, computer controlled, clinical chemistry analyzer for clinical chemistry tests. The instrument provides in vitro quantitative measurements for glucose in serum. The device is intended for use only in clinical laboratories.
Synermed IR-1200 Glucose Reagent
The Synermed Glucose is ready to use. The composition of the Synermed Glucose Oxidase Reagent is as follows: 280 umol/L N-sulfopropyl-N-ethyl-3, 5-dimethylaniline, 280 umol/L ampyrone, 1400 U/L peroxidase (horseradish) and 18,000 U/L glucose oxidase.
Synermed IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer
The IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer is a multiparameter chemistry instrument that quantitates the levels of analytes in serum using spectrophotometric measurement. The system uses Synermed liquid-stable reagent systems that have been previously cleared by FDA.
The IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer is a discrete analyzer with STAT priority capabilities and an externalized computer. The instrument features a user-friendly software operating system, optical unit, precision pipetting and electronic system. Twelve wavelengths are included ranging from 340 nm to 800 nm. The instrument's capabilities include: sample pipetting, reagent pipetting, anti-interference, mixing, pre-heating, reaction monitoring, calculation, display and printing of results. After the measurement is complete, the system rinses and dries the cuvettes. The system automates the manual functions and, as a result, it enhances efficiency, diminishes errors, thus improving the accuracy and precision of test results.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the Synermed Glucose Reagent and Synermed IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document describes the performance of the Synermed Glucose Reagent on the Synermed IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer. While it doesn't explicitly list "acceptance criteria" as a separate, pre-defined column, the "Results" sections and the discussions of "non-significant interference" imply the criteria used for evaluation. Therefore, I will reconstruct the table with implied acceptance criteria based on the reported results.
| Study/Parameter | Implied Acceptance Criteria (Based on Study Description/Results) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Precision/Reproducibility | CV% to be within acceptable limits (specific percentage not explicitly stated as 'criteria' but evaluated) | For glucose, CV% ranged from 0.09% to 1.2% (total precision) across different concentrations. |
| Linearity/Reportable Range | R² > 0.99 (common for linearity studies) and a linear relationship across the claimed measuring range. | R² = 0.9999 for glucose. Tested range: 6.5-900 mg/dL. Claimed range: 8-885 mg/dL. |
| Analytical Specificity (Interference) | Bias of < 10% between spiked and unspiked samples for non-significant interferents. | Identified ascorbic acid, methyldopa, ofloxacin, salicyluric acid, and uric acid as interferants at certain concentrations (bias ≥ 10%). Specific non-interfering concentrations are reported. |
| Detection Limit (LoB, LoD, LoQ) | LoB, LoD, LoQ to be within claimed measuring range (LoQ should be ≤ lower limit of claimed range). | LoB = 2.8 mg/dL, LoD = 3.65 mg/dL, LoQ = 8.0 mg/dL. Claimed range: 8-885 mg/dL. |
| Comparison Studies (Method Comparison) | High correlation (e.g., Coefficient > 0.98), slope close to 1, and intercept close to 0 when compared to a predicate device. | Correlation Coefficient = 0.9994, Slope = 0.988, Intercept = -0.178. Sample range tested: 15-885 mg/dL. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
-
Precision/Reproducibility:
- Sample Size: 5 concentrations of pooled patient serum, with 80 measurements at each concentration (run in duplicate twice a day for twenty days). Total = 400 measurements (5 concentrations * 80 measurements/concentration). While 80 measurements per concentration are mentioned, it's 2 duplicates per day * 20 days.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but "pooled patient serum" suggests human biological samples. No mention of country of origin or whether it was retrospective/prospective.
-
Linearity/Reportable Range:
- Sample Size: 13 concentrations across the measuring range, with four replicates at each concentration. Total = 52 measurements (13 concentrations * 4 replicates). Sample preparation involved "intermixing a high serum pool with a low serum pool."
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The use of "serum pool" implies human samples.
-
Analytical Specificity (Interference):
- Sample Size: Serum pools spiked with interferents at two analyte levels (80 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL glucose) and at two concentrations of interferent. Specific numbers of samples are not detailed beyond "serum pools."
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. Use of "serum pools" implies human samples.
-
Detection Limit (LoB, LoD, LoQ):
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated, but the study "evaluated following CLSI EP17-A" suggests a scientifically rigorous approach with sufficient replicates, though the exact number isn't provided.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated.
-
Comparison Studies (Method Comparison):
- Sample Size: 115 samples for glucose. 15 of these were "modified to cover the entire claimed measuring range" by intermixing patient serum pools.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but "patient serum pools" and "patient serum samples" indicate human biological samples. No mention of country of origin or whether it was retrospective/prospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This document describes the performance of a quantitative laboratory diagnostic device (chemistry analyzer and reagent). For such devices, "ground truth" is typically established by:
- Reference Methods: Highly accurate and precise laboratory methods, often traceable to international standards (e.g., NIST).
- Predicate Devices: Comparison to an already FDA-cleared device provides a benchmark.
The studies presented here rely on these types of "ground truth":
- For linearity, the "expected values" are derived from known dilutions.
- For comparison studies, the "ground truth" is the measurement obtained from the predicate device (Hitachi 717 chemistry analyzer) using the same previously cleared reagent systems.
Therefore, no human experts were used to establish a subjective "ground truth" in the way they might be for interpreting medical images. The "ground truth" is analytical, derived from established laboratory methodologies and reference measurements. The Synermed IR Cal II calibrator is stated to be traceable to NIST standard number 917-C, which provides a form of metrological ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. As explained above, the "ground truth" is analytical/measurement-based, not based on human interpretation or consensus. There is no need for an adjudication method for these types of studies.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study involves multiple human readers interpreting cases/images, often with and without AI assistance, to assess the impact of AI on human performance. This document concerns a chemistry analyzer and reagents, which are distinct from image-based AI diagnostics.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:
Yes, all presented studies are standalone (algorithm only). The Synermed IR-1200 Chemistry Analyzer is an automated instrument. The performance reported (precision, linearity, specificity, detection limits, method comparison) reflects the intrinsic analytical capabilities of the device itself, without human interpretation or intervention affecting the measurement results. The results are quantitative outputs directly from the instrument.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth used is primarily measurement-based and comparative:
- Reference Values/Standards: For linearity, expected values from known dilutions. For calibration, traceability to NIST standards.
- Predicate Device Measurements: In the method comparison study, the measurements from the predicate Hitachi 717 chemistry analyzer serve as the comparative ground truth.
- Defined Analytical Procedures: Ground truth for precision, linearity, and detection limit studies are established through rigorous adherence to CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) protocols, which are industry standards for analytical validation.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
This document describes the validation of a chemistry analyzer and reagent, which are based on established chemical reactions and spectrophotometric measurements. There is no mention of a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI model development because the device does not employ a learning algorithm that requires training. Its operational parameters are based on fixed scientific principles and engineering designs.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

15. Summary of Performance Testing
The purpose of the performance studies was to validate that the previously cleared reagents have the same performance characteristics on the proposed new analyzer (Synermed IR-1200) as compared to the previously cleared Hitachi 717. The sponsor has chosen the representative analyte Glucose using serum as the representative sample matrix.
Analytical Performance
a. Precision/Reproducibility
Verification of precision on the Synermed IR-1200 was accomplished by implementing the study protocol laid out in CLSI document EP05-A3. Five concentrations of pooled patient serum were run for glucose. Each aliquot was run in duplicate twice a day for twenty days for a total of 80 measurements at each concentration. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were determined for glucose at each concentration. Additionally, the percentage of imprecision and total error was calculated. The results are displayed in the tables below.
Results:
| Within Run Precision | Total Precision | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean(mg/dL glucose) | S.D.(mg/dL) | C.V.(%) | S.D.(mg/dL) | C.V.(%) |

b. Linearity/Reportable Range
Linearity studies were designed using CLSI EP06-A. Samples were prepared by intermixing a high serum pool with a low serum pool to obtain thirteen concentrations across the measuring range with four replicates at each concentration. The observed values were compared to the expected values and the results of linear regression are summarized below.
Linearity Results:
| Measurand | Slope | Intercept | R2 | Sample RangeTested | Claimed MeasuringRange |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glucose (mg/dL) | 0.9928 | 1.3499 | 0.9999 | 6.5-900 | 8-885 |
Calibrators
The Synermed IR Cal II was previously cleared in K940571 and is traceable to NIST standard number 917-C; no modification was made.
c. Analytical Specificity
Interference studies were performed according to CLSI EP07-A2. Effects of common endogenous substances including bilirubin, hemoglobin, triglycerides and uric acid were evaluated by spiking serum pools with interferent at two analyte levels and at two concentrations of interferent. Additionally, common medications known to potentially affect the glucose assav were also tested at two analyte levels and at two concentrations of interferent. The sponsor defined significant interference as a bias of ≥=10% between the spiked and unspiked samples. Finally, any substance seen to interfere with the glucose assav was further studied using the dose-response procedure laid out on CLSI EP07-A2. Synermed will still reference in the product insert Young, D.S., Effects of Drugs on Clinical Laboratory Tests, 5th ed. Vol.2 AACC Press, Washington, D.C., 2000. The test results are summarized below:
Effects of common endogenous substances including conjugated bilirubin (0.76 and 20 mg/dL), unconjugated bilirubin (0.76 and 20mg/dL), hemoglobin (100 and 500 mg/dL), triglycerides (176.99 and 3274.34mg/dL) and uric acid (11.77 and 23.54mg/dL) were evaluated at two different glucose concentrations (80 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL) for interference. Furthermore, the following exogenous substances: ascorbic acid (1.22 and 6.02mg/dL), acetaminophen (20.11 and 200.18ug/mL), genatmicin (7.51 and 10.05ug/mL), ibuprofen (40.08 and 500.21ug/mL), L-dopa (0.41 and 1.24µg/ml/L), methyldopa (4.24 and 14.99µg/mL), N-acetylcysteine (0.08 and 0.25mg/dL), ofloxacin (8.78 and 17.5mg/L), salicyluric acid 0.2 and 0.6ug/mL), tetracycline (3.78 and 16.27ug.mL) were evaluated at two different glucose concentrations (80 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL) for interference. The sponsor defined non-significant interference when the bias between the tested and control samples are within +/-10%.
The sponsor identified ascorbic acid, methyldopa, levofloxacin, salicyluric acid, uric acid as interferants (see table).
