The document describes a standard automated clinical chemistry analyzer and its components. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or the sections specifically checked for these terms.
No
This device is a clinical chemistry analyzer used for in vitro diagnostic testing, not a device used for treatment or therapy. It measures various analytes in biological fluids.
Yes
The device is described as a "clinical chemistry analyzer" intended for the "in vitro determination of a variety of general chemistries, therapeutic drugs, and other chemistries of clinical interest in biological fluids." This clearly indicates its use in analyzing biological samples to provide information for diagnosis, an essential function of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components, including reagent compartments, sample and reagent cranes, chemistry sections, a sample carousel, hydropneumatics, electronics, and power supplies. It also mentions specific hardware modules like the LPIA and TS-CTS modules, and an ISE flow cell module with electrodes. This clearly indicates it is a hardware-based system with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the SYNCHRON LX Clinical Systems are intended for the "in vitro determination of a variety of general chemistries, therapeutic drugs, and other chemistries of clinical interest in biological fluids such as serum, plasma, urine, and cerebral spinal fluid". The term "in vitro" means "in glass" or "in the lab," referring to tests performed outside of a living organism.
- Device Description: The "Device Description" further clarifies that the system analyzes biological fluids and operates in conjunction with reagents, calibrators, and controls. This is characteristic of an IVD device used to analyze samples from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Specific Analytes: The document lists specific analytes measured (carbon dioxide, calcium, chloride, potassium, sodium) in biological fluids, which are common tests performed in a clinical laboratory setting for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, based on the provided text, the SYNCHRON LX Clinical Systems are clearly intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

They automatically dilute samples and deliver them to the associated reaction vessel for each system module (cuvette, cup, or ISE flowcell) along with reagents and reaction constituents. The systems analyze up to 41 analytes per sample.
Major hardware components include a reagent compartment, sample and reagent cranes, cartridge chemistry section, modular chemistry section, sample carousel and crane, hydropneumatics, electronics, and power supplies.
The LX20 PRO is differentiated from the standard LX20 system with the following hardware: LPIA (Large Particle Immunoassay) Module and TS-CTS (Thick Stopper-Closed Tube Sampling) Module
The fixed menu ISE flow cell module is contained in the modular chemistry area. The ISE flow cell contains ISE electrodes for the measurement of Sodium (NA), Potassium (K), Chloride (CL), carbon dioxide (CO2), and Calcium (CALC).
