Intended Use
Diazyme Lithium Enzymatic Assay Kit is for quantitative in vitro determination of lithium in human serum and plasma. Measurements of lithium are carried out essentially to ensure that proper drug dosage is administered in the treatment of patient suffering from bipolar disorder and to avoid toxicity.
Device Description
Diazyme's lithium enzymatic assay is a spectrophotometric method, which can be adapted to most automated clinical chemistry analyzers. In Diazyme's lithium enzymatic assay, Lithium is determined spectrophotometrically through a kinetic coupling assay system involving a Diazyme's proprietary phosphatase whose activity is sensitive to lithium concentration (IC50=0.1mM). Through enzymatic coupling, the phosphatase substrate, adenosine biphosphate (PAP) is converted to hypoxanthine by a series of enzymatic reactions to generate uric acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2 generated reacts with N-Ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3-m-toluidine (EHSPT) and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA) in the presence of peroxidase (POD) to form a quinone dye which has maximal absorbance at 556nm. The rate of the quinine dye formation is inversely proportion to the concentration of lithium in serum samples.

No
The device description details a spectrophotometric enzymatic assay, which is a traditional chemical analysis method. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational learning processes in the provided text.

No
The Diazyme Lithium Enzymatic Assay Kit is an in vitro diagnostic device used to measure lithium levels in human samples, which aids in monitoring drug dosage and preventing toxicity, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used for quantitative in vitro determination of lithium in human serum and plasma to monitor drug dosage and avoid toxicity in patients with bipolar disorder, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a spectrophotometric enzymatic assay kit, which is a chemical reagent-based system requiring a clinical chemistry analyzer (hardware) to function. It is not solely software.

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 kit is "for quantitative in vitro determination of lithium in human serum and plasma." The phrase "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a "spectrophotometric method" that analyzes "human serum and plasma." This involves testing biological samples outside of the body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic.
  • Purpose: The intended use also mentions that the measurements are "carried out essentially to ensure that proper drug dosage is administered... and to avoid toxicity." This indicates the device is used to provide information for medical diagnosis or treatment, a core function of IVDs.

Device Description

Currently, the most commonly used methods to detect serum lithium are ion-selective electrode (ISE) atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and flame emission photometry. However, routine maintenance of these analyzers requires much effort and sometimes can be cumbersome. Diazyme's lithium enzymatic assay is a spectrophotometric method, which can be adapted to most automated clinical chemistry analyzers.

In Diazyme's lithium enzymatic assay, Lithium is determined spectrophotometrically through a kinetic coupling assay system involving a Diazyme's proprietary phosphatase whose activity is sensitive to lithium concentration (IC50=0.1mM). Through enzymatic coupling, the phosphatase substrate, adenosine biphosphate (PAP) is converted to hypoxanthine by a series of enzymatic reactions to generate uric acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2 generated reacts with N-Ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3-m-toluidine (EHSPT) and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA) in the presence of peroxidase (POD) to form a quinone dye which has maximal absorbance at 556nm.

Measurements of lithium are carried out essentially to ensure that proper drug dosage is administered in the treatment of patient suffering from bipolar disorder and to avoid toxicity.

Performance Characteristics

Diazyme's lithium enzymatic assay is a two reagent (R1 and R2) based kinetic assay system. The results are obtained in 10 min by measuring absorbance at 550 nm. No off line pretreatment is needed. The assay has a wide measuring range from 0 to 3 mmol/L. The assay offers excellent precision as shown in the table below:
