Intended Use
The Stratus® CS Acute Care™ NT-proBNP method (pBNP) is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in buman plasma. In individuals suspected of having congestive heart failure (CHF), measurements of NT-proBNP are used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity. The test is further indicated for the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome and heart failure. The NT-proBNP Calibrator (pBNP CalPak) is an in vitro diagnostic product intended to be used for calibration of the NT-proBNP method on the Stratus® CS analyzer. The NT-proBNP Dilution Pak (DilPak) is an in vitro diagnostic product intended to be used for dilution of the NT-proBNP Method on the Stratus® CS analyzer.
Device Description
The Stratus® CS Acute Care™ NT-proBNP method is a two-site sandwich assay based upon solid phase Radial Partition Immunoassav (RPIA) technology. In this procedure, dendrimer linked polyclonal antibody is added to the center portion of a square piece of glass fiber paper in the pBNP TestPak. This antibody recognizes a distinct antigenic site on the NT-proBNP molecule. Sample is then added onto the paper where it reacts with the immobilized antibody. After a short incubation, a conjugate consisting of enzyme-labeled polvclonal antibody directed against a second distinct antigenic site on the NT-proBNP molecule is pipetted onto the reaction zone of the paper. During this second incubation period, enzyme-labeled antibody reacts with the bound NT-proBNP , forming an antibody-antigen-labeled antibody sandwich. The unbound labeled antibody is later eluted from the field of view of the Stratus® CS analyzer by applying a substrate wash solution to the center of the reaction zone. By including substrate for the enzyme within the wash solution, initiation of enzyme activity occurs simultaneously with the wash. The enzymatic rate of the bound fraction increases directly with the concentration of NT-proBNP in the sample. The reaction rate can then be measured by an optical system that monitors the reaction rate via front surface fluorescence. All data analysis functions are performed by the microprocessor within the analyzer.

No
The device description details a standard immunoassay technology with data analysis performed by a microprocessor, without mentioning any AI or ML techniques.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for aiding in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of congestive heart failure by measuring NT-proBNP levels in human plasma. It does not provide treatment or therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the Stratus® CS Acute Care™ NT-proBNP method is an "in vitro diagnostic assay" and its measurements are "used as an aid in the diagnosis" of congestive heart failure.

No

The device description clearly outlines a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic assay using Radial Partition Immunoassay (RPIA) technology and an optical system within an analyzer to measure reaction rates. While a microprocessor performs data analysis, the core functionality relies on physical components and chemical reactions, not solely software.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states:

  • "The Stratus® CS Acute Care™ NT-proBNP method (pBNP) is an in vitro diagnostic assay..."
  • "The NT-proBNP Calibrator (pBNP CalPak) is an in vitro diagnostic product..."
  • "The NT-proBNP Dilution Pak (DilPak) is an in vitro diagnostic product..."

This clearly indicates that the device and its associated components are intended for use in vitro (outside of the living body) for diagnostic purposes.

For the Reference Study Group, NT-proBNP concentrations were determined in 308 individuals without congestive heart failure (163 Women and 145 men); this population included apparently healthy individuals and individuals with diabetes, hypertension, and pulmonary disease. For the Disease Study Group, blood samples were obtained from 234 patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF); this population included 70 women and 164 men.
