Intended Use
The Rapidpoint™Coag Enoxaparin Test card (ENOX) is a qualitative test intended for exclusive use with the Rapidpoint Coag analyzer to detect the anticoagulant effects, ≥ 1.0 IU/ml, of the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), Lovenox®/Clexane® (enoxaparin sodium)¹, in arterial citrated whole blood from patients with unstable angina (UA)/non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who may transition to percutaneous intervention (PCI). The ENOX test is intended for use at either the point of care or in the central laboratory. The device does not discriminate between values of enoxaparin below 1.0 IU/ml and the absence of drug. The test provides information on the patient's citrated arterial whole blood response to enoxaparin by measurement of the clotting time using a factor Xa activated clotting method and should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical data available to the clinician
Device Description
The RapidPoint Enoxaparin (ENOX) test is a one-step dry coagulation method performed on the RapidPoint Coag analyzer. All of the components necessary to perform the assay, with the exception of patient sample, are included in the reaction chamber of the test card. In the ENOX test, factor X is rapidly converted to factor Xa by a specific factor X activator initiating the clotting process. Enoxaparin, from the patient's blood, complexes with antithrombin (AT), to inhibit factor Xa and lengthen the clotting time. Reported clotting times in excess of the assay cut-off indicate an enoxaparin concentration greater than or equal to 1.0 International Units per milliliter. The results generated by the ENOX test are indicative of the anticoagulant effect produced by enoxaparin in citrated arterial whole blood. The test card formulation contains purified Factor Xa activator, calcium, phospholipid and stabilizers. Paramagnetic iron oxide particles (PIOP) are included to provide an optical detection mechanism in the presence of patient sample.

This device is a diagnostic test kit used to detect the anticoagulant effects of enoxaparin in blood. It provides information for clinicians but does not directly treat or mitigate a disease.

Yes
The device is described as a "qualitative test intended for exclusive use with the Rapidpoint Coag analyzer to detect the anticoagulant effects... of enoxaparin sodium" and provides "information on the patient's citrated arterial whole blood response to enoxaparin by measurement of the clotting time." This directly relates to the diagnosis or monitoring of a patient's condition (anticoagulant effects).

No

The device description clearly states it is a "one-step dry coagulation method performed on the RapidPoint Coag analyzer" and includes a "test card formulation" with physical components like "purified Factor Xa activator, calcium, phospholipid and stabilizers" and "Paramagnetic iron oxide particles". This indicates a hardware component (the analyzer) and a physical consumable (the test card) are integral to the device's function, making it a hardware-based medical device with associated software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is a "qualitative test intended for exclusive use with the Rapidpoint Coag analyzer to detect the anticoagulant effects... in arterial citrated whole blood from patients...". This describes a test performed on a biological sample (whole blood) to provide information about a patient's condition (anticoagulant effects of enoxaparin).
  • Device Description: The device description details a "one-step dry coagulation method performed on the RapidPoint Coag analyzer" that uses reagents to measure clotting time in a patient sample. This is consistent with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Sample Type: The test uses "arterial citrated whole blood from patients," which is a biological specimen.
  • Purpose: The test provides "information on the patient's citrated arterial whole blood response to enoxaparin by measurement of the clotting time," which is used to aid in clinical decision-making.

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

The ENOX Test is optimized to detect the effects of enoxaparin only. The use of the ENOX test to monitor unfractionated heparin (UFH) or other low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) is contraindicated due to the different clot signatures or responses produced by each of these compounds. ENOX test results have only been validated for use in detecting the effect of enoxaparin in citrated arterial whole blood. Unfractionated heparin interferes with this test.

For in vitro diagnostic use only.

260 Secs. Clot times 55% may cause elongated clotting times and should be interpreted with caution.

Deficiencies in factors X, V, and prothrombin could result in a prolongation of the ENOX clotting test result even in the absence of enoxaparin in the sample. In the presence of enoxaparin, a deficiency in these factors would reflect both enoxaparin effect and prolongation caused by the deficient factor(s). Drugs that affect clotting factors in the common pathway (e.g. coumadin), including factors X, V, prothrombin and fibrinogen can affect ENOX clotting times. No testing has been performed on clinical samples with an International Normalized Ratio (INR) above 1.4.

CLINICAL Studies

Data were obtained from a clinical trial comparing arterial citrated whole blood clot times using the ENOX card versus central laboratory measured plasma anti-Xa levels, Citrated whole blood arterial samples were collected at baseline and at peak values (within 15 minutes of dosing) after enoxaparin administration among 88 patients. The trial was conducted at 6 sites in the United States and included 27 females (31%). The mean age of the population was 61.3 years, and the mean weight was 87.3 kg. The study cohort received enoxaparin for a primary indication of coronary artery disease. All patients received a weight-adjusted dose of 0.75mg/kg IV. Samples were tested in duplicate, and the first sample was used for final analysis. The relationship between clotting time cutoff (260 secs) and 1.0 IU/ml anti-Xa value from the clinical trial data is presented in the following table.

Number of Subjects Above and Below ENOX Cutoff of 260 seconds:

| Time/anti-Xa
Concentration | anti-Xa ≥1.0 IU | anti-Xa 260 secs. The x-axis shows clot time, ranging from 0 to 600.

Frequency distribution of patients' ENOX card clotting times for citrated arterial whole blood samples, before and after the IV administration of Enoxaparin. The 88 patients were candidates for coronary intervention and were treated with 0.75mg/kg enoxaparin IV. Samples containing drug were obtained within 15 minutes of drug administration.

In summary, the test provides information on the patient's citrated arterial whole blood response to enoxaparin by measurement of the clotting time using a factor Xa activated clotting method. Results above the cutoff are consistent with values greater than or equal to 1.0 IU/ml of enoxaparin. The results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical information available to the clinician. Unexpected results should be verified with an alternative diagnostic method.
