The summary describes a standard in vitro diagnostic test cartridge and analyzer for measuring APTT. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
The input states "For in vitro diagnostic use," indicating it's used for diagnosis and monitoring, not direct treatment.
Yes
The device is described as "For in vitro diagnostic use" and "a single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge," which directly indicates its diagnostic purpose. It is used "as an aid in the diagnosis of patients with clotting disorders."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge" and mentions "specimen separation" and "delivers a measured volume of plasma to a cartridge cuvette". This indicates a physical, hardware component (the cartridge) is essential to the device's function, not just software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: Explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use".
- Device Description: Describes the cartridge as a "single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge".
- Function: It measures activated partial thromboplastin time from biological samples (citrated whole blood or plasma) to aid in the diagnosis of clotting disorders and monitor patients. This is a classic function of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
CARESIDE APTT cartridges are used with the CARESIDE Analyzer to measure activated partial thromboplastin time from citrated whole blood or plasma as the applied sample. The CARESIDE APTT cartridge, a single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge, aids in specimen separation and delivers a measured volume of plasma to a cartridge cuvette to initiate the measurement of an activated partial thromboplastin time. The patented cartridge contains all reagents necessary to measure an activated partial thromboplastin time.
Each CARESIDE APTT cartridge consists of a cuvette with dried rabbit brain phospholipid with kaolin mounted in a plastic cartridge with a hinged lid. The user introduces the citrated whole blood or plasma specimen into the cartridge sample well, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the CARESIDE Analyzer.
Once loaded, the CARESIDE Analyzer scans the cartridge barcode, brings the cartridge and the contained specimen to 37℃, and spins the cartridge to move the sample from the Sample Well into the cartridge channels and chambers. As the cartridge continues to spin. the blood cells are separated from the plasma and the cells accumulate in the Separation Well.
The APTT test is a two-step process. The first step of the APTT test involves reconstitution of the dried reagent in the cartridge cuvette by the sample and subsequent incubation. Forty microliters of citrated plasma remains in the metering passage after spinning is completed. Any excess sample flows into an Overflow Well. The metered volume of sample is dispensed into the cuvette by a plunger that displaces a flexible seal that covers the Sample Well while a second plunger seals the cartridge vent. As the flexible seal is displaced, air is pushed through the metering passage, forcing the sample out and into the cuvette. The sample reconstitutes the dried reagent in the cuvette. The sample and reagent within the cartridge is mixed and incubated for 3 minutes.
In the second step of the APTT, 80 microliters of a 15 mM calcium chloride pouch reagent is added to initiate the coagulation reactions. To accomplish the addition, a plunger breaks a foil pouch housed within the test cartridge and pushes the calcium chloride reagent into the cuvette. The calcium chloride is mixed with the sample and a phospholipid/activator. The cuvette is then positioned over an LED and the coagulation event is optically monitored. An onboard timer automatically measures the coagulation time.

c. Test Summary
Phospholipids, a contact activator, and calcium are required to initiate clotting in an APTT test. The use of a contact activator, kaolin, which standardizes the activation of factor XII is an advancement (introduced over 30 years ago) over the original partial thromboplastin time test (PTT).
Under these conditions, the time required for the formation of a fibrin clot provides information regarding the presence and activity of coagulation factors. An activated partial thromboplastin time test is recommended to be sensitive to coagulation factor abnormalities and to factor inhibitors affecting coagulation factors VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, prekallikrein, and kininogen. CARESIDE APTT is sensitive to deficiencies in these factors.
Activated partial thromboplastin time tests are used as a screening test APTT is for the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways. commonly used to monitor heparin anticoagulant therapy.
Intrinsic Coagulation Pathway

Image /page/2/Figure/8 description: This image shows a diagram of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation. Factor XII is converted to XIIa by PK and HMWK. XIIa then converts XI to XIa, which converts IX to IXa. IXa then converts VIII to its activated form.
