Intended Use
The device is used for the kinetic quantitative determination of Urea Nitrogen (BUN) in serum.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic test kit; measures Urea Nitrogen (BUN) in serum. Principle: kinetic measurement of NADH to NAD conversion via urease and glutamic dehydrogenase (GLDH) enzymes; decrease in absorbance monitored. Components: two reagents (BUN Buffer R1, BUN Enzyme R2) and 30mg/dL standard. Used in clinical laboratory settings by technicians/pathologists. Output: quantitative BUN concentration. Clinical utility: assessment of renal function and nitrogen balance.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison against predicate device yielded correlation coefficient of 0.999 and regression equation y = 1.012x - 0.47. Additional validation included precision, linearity, sensitivity, stability, and interference studies; all results acceptable.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic reagent kit. Enzymatic kinetic assay (Urease/GLDH). Measures absorbance decrease at 340nm. Components: Buffer (R1), Enzyme (R2), Standard. Manual or automated analyzer application.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the kinetic quantitative determination of Urea Nitrogen (BUN) in serum for clinical diagnostic purposes.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A urea nitrogen test system is a device intended to measure urea nitrogen (an end-product of nitrogen metabolism) in whole blood, serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases.
