Device Description
The ABL837 FLEX is an analyzer with the capability of measuring creatinine. The wet section of the ABL837 FLEX analyzer is structured as the wet section of the ABL800 FLEX and ABL800 FLEX with FLEXQ Module analyzers, but includes a measuring module comprising the measurement system for the creatinine parameter. This measuring system compissing electrodes, one of which measures creatine and the other of which measures creating and creatinine.

More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes an electrochemical sensor-based analyzer for measuring creatinine and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as an analyzer that measures creatinine levels in blood, plasma, or serum. This is an in vitro diagnostic function used for diagnosis and monitoring, not a therapeutic function that treats a condition.

Yes

The device is intended for in vitro testing of samples to measure creatinine, and these measurements are used in the "diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases and in monitoring renal dialysis," explicitly stating a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components, including an analyzer, wet section, measuring module, electrodes, and electrochemical sensors. This indicates it is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

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 "in vitro testing of samples of heparinized whole blood, plasma and serum". "In vitro" means "in glass" or "in the lab," referring to tests performed outside of the living body.
  • Sample Type: The device analyzes biological samples (whole blood, plasma, and serum), which is characteristic of IVD devices.
  • Purpose: The measurements are used in the "diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases and in monitoring renal dialysis," which are clinical purposes for which IVD devices are used.
  • Device Description: The description details the components and function of an analyzer designed to measure a specific analyte (creatinine) in these biological samples.

All of these points align with the definition and purpose of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Several tests have been performed to determine the linearity, precision, detection limits and interference of the creatinine measurements. A comparison test between the ABL837 FLEX and the i-STAT System Creatinine Test has shown that the ABL837 FLEX porforms equivalent to the predicate device i-STAT System Creatinine Test.

Statement of Indication for Use

Creatinine (cCrea): The creatinine measurements measure the concentration of creatinine in blood. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of readlined and in monitoring renal dialysis.

Clinical Interpretation

Creatinine (cCrea): Common causes of low creatinine may be small stature, debilitation, decreased muscle mass, or severe hepatic disease. Common causes of high creatinine may be renal diseases, urinary tract obstruction, rhabdomyolysis, acute necrotizing pancreatitis, diarrhoea, vomiting, or decreased intake.

Performance Test

Several tests have been performed to determine the linearity, precision, detection limits and interference of the creatinine measurements. A comparison test between the ABL837 FLEX and the i-STAT System Creatinine Test has shown that the ABL837 FLEX porforms equivalent to the predicate device i-STAT System Creatinine Test.
