Intended Use
GenChem ISE Electrolyte Buffer, when used in conjunction with the GenChem ISE Electrolyte Reference, GenChem CO2 Acid Reagent, GenChem CO2 Alkaline Buffer, GenChem Wash Concentrate, and appropriate Calibrators or Calibration Standards, is intended for the quantitative determination of sodium, potassium, chloride, and total CO2 in serum and plasma, and sodium, potassium and chloride in urine, and Reference will also determine calcium in serum, plasma and urine. Sodium results are for the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism (excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone), diabetes insipidus (chronic excretion of large amounts of dilute urine, accompanied by extreme thirst), adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease (caused by the destruction of the adrenal glands), dehvdration, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance. Potassium results are used to monitor electrolyte imbalance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels. Chloride results are used in the treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis. 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. Calcium results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany (intermittent muscular contractions or spasm).
Device Description
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO2 and Calcium are determined by the use of Ion Specific Electrodes, the conductivity of which is proportional to the concentration of electrolyte in the sample which is mixed with high ionic strength buffer using the ISE Solution as the reference.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard ion-specific electrode technology and traditional analytical methods, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an electrolyte buffer and reagents used for the quantitative determination of certain electrolytes in bodily fluids, which is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic treatment or prevention.

Yes

The device is intended for the "quantitative determination of sodium, potassium, chloride, and total CO2 in serum and plasma, and sodium, potassium and chloride in urine, and Reference will also determine calcium in serum, plasma and urine," and the results are explicitly stated to be used for "diagnosis and treatment of" various medical conditions, clearly indicating a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states the use of "Ion Specific Electrodes" and "ISE Solution," which are hardware components. The performance studies are also conducted on a "Beckman CX3® Synchron Analyzer," a piece of hardware.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is for the "quantitative determination of sodium, potassium, chloride, and total CO2 in serum and plasma, and sodium, potassium and chloride in urine, and Reference will also determine calcium in serum, plasma and urine." These are measurements performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Diagnostic Purpose: The intended use also clearly links the results of these measurements to the "diagnosis and treatment" of various diseases and conditions involving electrolyte imbalance, acid-base balance, parathyroid diseases, chronic renal disease, and tetany. This indicates a diagnostic purpose.
  • Device Description: The description mentions the use of "Ion Specific Electrodes" to determine the concentration of electrolytes in the sample, which is a common method used in in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The document details performance studies like precision, linearity, sensitivity, analytical specificity, and patient comparison, which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device with the name "Electrode, Ion Specific, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO2, Calcium" further confirms that this device falls within the category of IVD products used for electrolyte analysis.

All these factors align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
