More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a chemical reagent and its analytical performance on a specific laboratory system, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a diagnostic reagent used for the quantitative determination of creatinine in bodily fluids, aiding in the diagnosis of renal impairment. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device is intended for the quantitative determination of creatinine in biological samples and is used as an aid in the diagnosis of renal impairment and diseases, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is a "Reagent containing alkaline picrate," which is a chemical substance, not software. The submission focuses on the performance of this reagent in conjunction with a hardware system (Beckman SYNCHRON CX3® System).

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 system is "intended for the quantitative determination of creatinine in serum, plasma and urine". This is a classic definition of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it involves analyzing biological samples outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Aid in Diagnosis: The intended use also states it is "as an aid in the diagnosis of renal impairment and diseases... and as an indicator of glomerular filtration rate." This further confirms its role in providing diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" describes the product as a "Reagent containing alkaline picrate for the determination of creatinine". Reagents used for laboratory testing of biological samples are a core component of IVDs.
  • Performance Studies: The document details various performance studies (Precision/Reproducibility, Linearity/assay reportable range, Analytical Specificity, Patient Comparison) which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability.
  • Key Metrics: The inclusion of metrics like Sensitivity, Precision, Linearity, and Patient Comparison results are typical for reporting the performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" (K915077; Beckman Creatinine Reagent for the CX3) is common in regulatory submissions for IVDs, indicating a comparison to a previously cleared device.

All of these elements strongly indicate that the GenChem Creatinine Test Reagent System is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Precision/Reproducibility: Control sera and urine pools were each assayed twice per day in triplicate 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.
Linearity/assay reportable range: Linearity was performed according to NCCLS Guideline EP6-A. Commercially available linearity standards ranging from 0 to 25.7 mg/dl were analyzed in triplicate on the Beckman CX3® and the results analyzed by the Least Squares method. The results gave a slope of 0.994 with an intercept of -0.05, a standard error of estimate of 0.11 and r = 1.00.
Sensitivity: 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 0.01 mg/dL.
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 creatinine level of 1.1 mg/dL.
Patient Comparison: Serum and plasma, ranging from 0.4 to 30.4 mg/dl and urine specimens ranging from 12.1 to 400 mg/dL were collected from adult patients and assayed for creatinine on a SYNCHRON CX3® System using GenChem and Beckman creatinine reagents. Results were compared by least squares linear regression.

6.2 Linearity/assay reportable range:

Linearity was performed according to NCCLS Guideline EP6-A. Commercially available linearity standards ranging from 0 to 25.7 mg/dl were analyzed in triplicate on the Beckman CX3® and the results analyzed by the Least Squares method. The results gave a slope of 0.994 with an intercept of -0.05, a standard error of estimate of 0.11 and r = 1.00 and is shown below. Specimens exceeding these limits should be diluted with normal saline and reanalyzed. Multiply the result by the appropriate dilution factor.

Urine10 - 400 mg/dL0.88 - 35.36 mmol/L

SENSITIVITY: 6.3

The sensitivity of this method is 0.2 mg/dL and is 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 0.01 mg/dL and is below the claimed limit of 0.2 mg/dL.

6.4 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 creatinne level of 1.1 mg/dL. 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.
