Intended Use
The Lipid Panel Test Strips are intended to measure cholesterol and triglycerides in whole blood on a BioScanner Plus analyzer. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders. Lipoprotein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases. Triglycerides measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, other diseases involving lipid metabolism , or various endocrine disorders. The BioScanner Plus is intended to be used by healthcare professionals to measure blood analytes on a test strip.
Device Description
The BioScanner Plus is a reflectance photometer for in vitro diagnostic use with Polymer Technology System's (PTS) test strips to measure color developed in a chemical reaction that occurs when whole blood is placed on a test strip. The color is measured and converted into concentration for each analyte. The Lipid Panel Test Strips are dry phase test strips that are constructed from a plastic strip holder that holds chemically treated membranes. When whole blood is placed on the test strip, the membranes first separate and isolate the red blood cells, allowing the serum/plasma to flow to the reaction membranc and react to produce a color change. The Lipid Panel Test Strips are for in vitro diagnostic use with the BioScanner Plus reflectance photometer. The only modification that was made to the BioScanner to produce the BioScanner Plus was: A fourth optical read window was added to the three optical read windows in the BioScanner. The only modification that was made to the Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides test strips to produce the Lipid Panel Test Strips is that the reaction membranes from the three individual test strips were assembled together on one test strip holder that holds all three at once.
More Information

No
The device description details a reflectance photometer and test strips that use chemical reactions and color measurement to determine analyte concentrations. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used to measure cholesterol and triglycerides in whole blood to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders, not to directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the measurements (cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotein) are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose. The "Device Description" also mentions "for in vitro diagnostic use."

No

The device description clearly states that the BioScanner Plus is a reflectance photometer, which is a hardware device. The test strips are also physical components. The modifications described are to the hardware (optical read window) and the physical construction of the test strips.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the Lipid Panel Test Strips are "intended to measure cholesterol and triglycerides in whole blood" and that these measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders," as well as other conditions. This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
  • Device Description: The description of the BioScanner Plus states it is "for in vitro diagnostic use with Polymer Technology System's (PTS) test strips to measure color developed in a chemical reaction that occurs when whole blood is placed on a test strip." The Lipid Panel Test Strips are also described as being "for in vitro diagnostic use with the BioScanner Plus reflectance photometer."
  • Nature of the Test: The device analyzes a biological sample (whole blood) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status (cholesterol and triglyceride levels).

All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Similarities and Differences between BioScanner Plus and the Predicate Device

Similarities

  • Both systems determine Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, and ● Triglycerides concentrations in whole blood.
  • Both systems use the same method of red blood cell separation. .
  • Both systems use the same reaction membranes for blood separation and . color development.
  • Both systems use a reflectance photometer to convert the intensity of color ● produced in a colorimetric chemical reaction into total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and Triglycerides results.
  • . Both systems contain a lot specific electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) chip in the same package with the strips. The EEPROM chip has the curve information programmed into it based on a multipoint curve that is established for each lot. The user inserts this chip into the meter with each new lot of test strips.
  • t Both systems contain, on the EEPROM, the failsafe feature ensuring that the test strip lot and calculation EEPROM match. If the EEPROM and strip lot number do not match, an error message is displayed.

Differences

    1. The BioScanner Test System (K972669) has three optical windows
      The BioScanner Plus has four optical windows.
    1. The BioScanner Test System Cholesterol (K981493), HDL Cholesterol (K990247) and Triglycerides (K991894) Test Strips are constructed on three separate strips. The Lipid Panel Test Strips combine the cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides into one test strip.
