Intended Use
VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® is an automated test for use on the VIDAS® 3 instrument for the immunoenzymatic quantitative determination of TIMP-2 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-2) and IGFBP-7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 7) proteins in human urine using the ELFA technique (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) for calculation of the AKIRISK™ Score. The VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® assay is intended to be used in conjunction with clinical evaluation in patients who currently have or have had within the past 24 hours acute cardiovascular and or respiratory compromise and are ICU patients as an aid in the risk assessment for moderate or severe acute kidney injury (AKI) within 12 hours of patient assessment. The VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® test is intended to be used in patients 21 years of age or older.
Device Story
VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® is a quantitative immunoassay for human urine. It measures TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 proteins using an Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) on the VIDAS® 3 instrument. The device uses a sandwich immunoassay principle where sample proteins bind to monoclonal antibodies fixed to a Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR). Alkaline phosphatase-labeled conjugates catalyze a substrate to produce a fluorescent signal measured at 450 nm. The instrument automatically calculates the AKIRISK™ Score using the formula: (TIMP-2 × IGFBP-7) / 1000. Used in central laboratories by healthcare professionals, the output provides a risk score to aid clinicians in assessing the likelihood of moderate or severe AKI within 12 hours. Results must be interpreted alongside clinical and laboratory data. The test benefits patients by providing early risk stratification for AKI in critically ill populations, potentially facilitating timely clinical intervention.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective multi-center study using 526 banked urine samples from ICU patients (400 from Topaz cohort, 126 from Opal cohort). Primary endpoints were sensitivity and specificity for AKI risk assessment. In the Topaz subset (n=399), sensitivity was 89.9% (95% CI: 80.5-95.0%) and specificity was 45.2% (95% CI: 39.9-50.5%). In the Opal cohort (n=126), sensitivity was 82.8% (95% CI: 65.5-92.4%) and specificity was 40.2% (95% CI: 31.0-50.2%).
Technological Characteristics
Quantitative ELFA immunoassay. Components: Reagent strips, Solid Phase Receptacles (SPR) coated with mouse monoclonal IgG anti-IGFBP-7 and anti-TIMP-2. Energy source: VIDAS 3 instrument. Detection: Fluorescence at 450 nm. Connectivity: Integrated with VIDAS 3 instrument. Sterilization: Not specified. Software: Automated calculation of AKIRISK Score via instrument firmware.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ICU patients aged 21+ with current or recent (within 24h) acute cardiovascular or respiratory compromise to aid in risk assessment for moderate or severe acute kidney injury (AKI) within 12 hours of assessment.

Trade Name: NEPHROCHECK Test Kit, Astute Medical, Inc., K171482
#### D. Device Description
Each VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® kit contains: x60 NEPH Reagent Strips, x60 NEPH Solid Phase Receptacles (SPR), 1 NEPH control and 1 NEPH calibrator. The VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® principle combines an enzyme immunoassay competition method with a final fluorescent detection (ELFA).
The Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®) serves as the solid phase as well as the pipetting device for the assay. The interior of the NEPH SPR is coated with mouse monoclonal lgG anti-IGFBP-7 andanti-TIMP-2.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The Reagent Strips consist of 10 wells covered with a labeled foil seal. Well 1 is designated for the sample. Six of the wells contain conjugate, wash buffers and substrate. Last well contains the fluorescence substrate.
All of the assay steps are performed automatically by the instrument.
Two detection steps, one for each protein, are performed successively in Well 10.
· The first step is a classical detection step with measurement of the substrate background and incubation of the substrate in the bottom of the SPR®, to generate the first fluorescent signal, which is specific for the IGFBP-7 protein.
· Before the second detection step, the antibodies and proteins in the bottom of the SPR® are removed using the cleaning solution contained in Well 5. The previously used substrate in Well 10 is removed and replaced by fresh substrate contained in Well 9. A new substrate background is then measured, and the substrate is incubated in the top of the SPR® to generate the second fluorescent signal, which is specific for the TIMP-2 protein.
For each protein, the intensity of the fluorescence is proportional to its concentration in the sample. At the end of the test, the protein concentrations are calculated by the instrument in relation to the two calibration curves, one corresponding to each protein, and encoded in the MLE data.
The instrument calculates the AKIRISK™ Score, which is defined as the product of the concentrations of the two proteins, expressed in ng/mL, divided by 1000:
AKIRISK™ Score = ([TIMP-2] x [IGFBP-7]) / 1000
The result of the VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® assay is reported as the AKIRISK™ Score.
### E. Intended Use
VIDAS® NEPHROCHECK® is an automated test for use on the VIDAS® 3 instrument for the immunoenzymatic quantitative determination of TIMP-2 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-2) and IGFBP-7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 7) proteins in human urine using the ELFA technique (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) for calculation of the AKIRISKTM Score.
