Intended Use
Benzodiazepine (BENZ) Reagent, in conjunction with SYNCHRON® Systems Drugs of Abuse Testing (DAT) Urine Calibrators, is intended for the qualitative determination of benzodiazepines in human urine at a cutoff value of 200 ng/mL (oxazepam), on SYNCHRON Systems. The Benzodiazepine assay provides a rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of benzodiazepines in urine. This test provides only a preliminary analytical result; a positive result by this assay should be confirmed by another generally accepted non-immunological method, such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography (GC), or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). GC/MS is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Description
The SYNCHRON Systems Benzodiazepine (BENZ) reagent is designed for optimal performance on the SYNCHRON CX (CX4/4CE/4A/4PRO, CX5/5CE/5Δ/5PRO, CX7/7RTS/7Δ/7PRO, CX9ALX/9PRO, LX20/PRO, and UniCel DxC 600/800 Systems. The reagent kit contains one 250-test cartridge that is packaged separately from the associated calibrators.

No
The summary describes a reagent kit for a chemical assay and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
This device is a reagent used for diagnostic testing to detect benzodiazepines in urine, not to treat a condition.

Yes
The device is described as providing a "qualitative determination of benzodiazepines in human urine" and a "rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of benzodiazepines in urine," which are functions of a diagnostic device. It also states that "a positive result by this assay should be confirmed by another generally accepted non-immunological method," implying its role in initial diagnosis or screening.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reagent kit" and a "cartridge," which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative determination of benzodiazepines in human urine." This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes a biological sample (urine) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information (presence of benzodiazepines).
  • Device Description: The description mentions it's a "reagent" designed for use on "SYNCHRON Systems," which are laboratory analyzers. This further supports its use in a clinical laboratory setting for diagnostic testing.
  • Context: The entire document is structured like a typical submission for an IVD device, including sections like "Intended Use," "Device Description," and "Predicate Device(s)."

The fact that it's a "reagent" used to test a biological sample (urine) for the presence of a substance (benzodiazepines) outside of the body clearly places it within the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 862.3170 Benzodiazepine test system.

(a)
Identification. A benzodiazepine test system is a device intended to measure any of the benzodiazepine compounds, sedative and hypnotic drugs, in blood, plasma, and urine. The benzodiazepine compounds include chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, oxazepam, chlorzepate, flurazepam, and nitrazepam. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of benzodiazepine use or overdose and in monitoring levels of benzodiazepines to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A benzodiazepine test system is not exempt if it is intended for any use other than employment or insurance testing or is intended for Federal drug testing programs. The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9, provided the test system is intended for employment and insurance testing and includes a statement in the labeling that the device is intended solely for use in employment and insurance testing, and does not include devices intended for Federal drug testing programs (e.g., programs run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. military).
