No
The device is a urine collection and preservation system, and the description focuses on chemical preservation and performance studies related to preserving nucleic acids for existing diagnostic assays. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
This device is for the collection, preservation, and transport of urine specimens for diagnostic testing, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a "Urine Collection, Preservation and Transport System" and its intended use is for the "collection, preservation, and transportation of urine specimens" for testing with specific assays. It does not perform diagnostic functions itself but rather prepares samples for diagnostic tests.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a urine collection cup containing a nucleic acid chemical preservative and inert indicator beads, indicating it is a physical device with chemical components, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "collection, preservation, and transportation of urine specimens... for testing with the Abbott LCx® Neisseria qonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis assays." These assays are diagnostic tests performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens (urine) to detect specific analytes (gonococcal and chlamydial nucleic acid).
  • Device Description: The device contains a "nucleic acid chemical preservative" and is designed to preserve urine specimens for "LCx® gonococcal or chlamydial testing." This further reinforces its role in preparing a specimen for an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the effectiveness of the device in preserving specimens for "LCx® testing," which is an in vitro diagnostic method.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are the Abbott LCx® Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis assays, which are themselves IVD tests. This indicates that the Sierra device is intended to be used in conjunction with these IVD tests.

The device's function is to prepare a biological specimen (urine) for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing. This directly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The effectiveness of the Sierra Urine Collection, Preservation, and Transport System was established by the comparative testing of fresh and preserved urine spiked with gonococcal and chlamydial DNA. LCx® testing of samples that were preserved through refrigeration for 24 hours were compared with results for specimens preserved with the Sierra device and tested after being held for 144 hrs. at 60°C. There was a 100% correlation between the refrigerated and preserved samples.

Effectiveness was further established by a multi-site clinical study. The results of this study demonstrated that the device effectively preserved gonococcal and chlamydial nucleic acid targets in urine specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic males and females.

The effective preservative concentration range and effect on LCx® sensitivity was established by a study using urine specimens spiked with less than 10 cfu of 10 different gonococcal serovars. Results from this test proved that Sierra's device effectively preserved nucleic acid targets down to the LCx® level of detection with a preservative to urine ratio ranging from 1:10 to 1:15.

Technological Characteristics of Device Compared to Predicate Device VI.

The Sierra Urine Collection, Preservation, and Transport System and the predicate device share the same technological characteristics with the exception of the method of preservation. The predicate device employs a temperature preservation method while the Sierra device uses chemical preservation.

Summary of Performance Data VII.

The effectiveness of the Sierra Urine Collection, Preservation, and Transport System was established by the comparative testing of fresh and preserved urine spiked with gonococcal and chlamydial DNA. LCx® testing of samples that were preserved through refrigeration for 24 hours were compared with results for specimens preserved with the Sierra device and tested after being held for 144 hrs. at 60°C. There was a 100% correlation between the refrigerated and preserved samples.

Effectiveness was further established by a multi-site clinical study. The results of this study demonstrated that the device effectively preserved gonococcal and chlamydial nucleic acid targets in urine specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic males and females.

The effective preservative concentration range and effect on LCx® sensitivity was established by a study using urine specimens spiked with less than 10 cfu of 10 different gonococcal serovars. Results from this test proved that Sierra's device effectively preserved nucleic acid targets down to the LCx® level of detection with a preservative to urine ratio ranging from 1:10 to 1:15.
