The device description and performance studies focus on chemical reagents and standard analytical methods, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent intended for the quantitative determination of Carbon Dioxide in serum and plasma, which is used for diagnosis, not treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "intended for the quantitative determination of Carbon Dioxide in serum and plasma... Carbon Dioxide results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous and potentially serious disorders associated with changes in the body's acid-base balance." This clearly indicates its role in aiding diagnosis and treatment, which is the function of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "solution containing 0.6 mol/L sulfuric acid, nonreactive surfactants and other ingredients," which is a chemical reagent, not 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 device is "intended for the quantitative determination of Carbon Dioxide in serum and plasma". Serum and plasma are biological specimens taken from the human body.
- Purpose: The purpose of the test is to aid in the "diagnosis and treatment of numerous and potentially serious disorders associated with changes in the body's acidbase balance." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
- In Vitro: The test is performed "in vitro," meaning outside of the living organism, on the collected serum and plasma samples.
- Device Description: The device is a reagent solution used in a laboratory setting on an analytical instrument (Beckman CX3®).
All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance Characteristics: All studies were performed on the Beckman CX3 6.0 Synchron Analyzer
Precision/Reproducibility:
Three control sera were each assayed for total CO2 twice per day in triplicate using flow cell reagents, wash solutions and calibrators on a SYNCHRON CX3® System. Data were collected on ten different days over a thirty day period.
Estimates of within run and total imprecision were calculated as described in NCCLS publication EP3-T.10
Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity was performed according to NCCLS Guideline EP6-A. Commercially available linearity standards ranging from 0 to 40 mmol/L were analyzed in triplicate on the Beckman CX3® and the results analyzed by the Least Squares method. The results gave a slope of 1.000 with an intercept of 0.15, a standard error of estimate of 0.41 and r2 = 1.000. Samples exceeding these limits should be diluted with normal saline and reanalyzed. Multiply the result by the appropriate dilution factor.
Analytical Specificity:
Determined according to NCCLS EP7-A. Hemoglobin levels up to 500 mg/dL, Bilirubin levels up to 20 mg/dL, and Lipemia levels up to 1800 mg/dL were tested and did not show any adverse effect on a stock sample with a glucose level of 19 mmol/L. Stock solutions of the substance to be tested were prepared at 20x concentrations and 0.5 ml of this stock was placed in a 10 ml volumetric flask and made up to volume with the base pool. The control stock was prepared similarly but with water as the diluent. Sodium Heparin, Lithium Heparin, Ammonium Heparin, sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate are acceptable anticoagulants.
Patient Comparison
Serum and plasma specimens, collected from adult patients, were assayed for total CO2 on a SYNCHRON CX3® System using GenChem (Y) and Beckman®(X) flow cell reagents, wash solutions and calibrators. Results were compared by least squares linear regression and the following statistics were obtained.
N = 80 for serum and 80 for plasma.
Range (mmol/L) Serum: 9.5 – 29.1, Plasma: 9.6 – 30.0
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
SENSITIVITY:
The sensitivity of this method is 5.0 mmol/L and was documented through the repetitive assay of a diluted serum control. The observed sensitivity limit, calculated as three standard deviations of a 21 replicate within run precision study, is 0.255 mg/dL and is below the claimed limit of 5.0 mg/dL.

Dear Dr. Allain:
Re:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
