Intended Use
The i-STAT BNP test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in whole blood or plasma samples using EDTA as the anticoagulant. BNP measurements can be used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of the severity of congestive heart failure. The cartridge is to be used with the i-STAT 1 Analyzer bearing the (Immuno) symbol, but not with the i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyzer or the Philips Medical Systems (formerly Agilent Technologies) Blood Analysis Module (BAM). As part of the i-STAT System, the BNP test is to be used by trained health care professionals in accordance with a facility's policies and procedures. The i-STAT BNP Controls are assayed liquid plasma used to verify the integrity of newly received i-STAT BNP cartridges. The i-STAT BNP Calibration Verification Controls are assayed liquid plasma used to verify the calibration of i-STAT BNP cartridges throughout the reportable range.
Device Description
The i-STAT BNP test is contained in a single-use test cartridge. In use, the user scans a bar code and then places approximately 17 uL of whole blood or plasma in the cartridge. After the cartridge is closed, it is inserted into the thermally controlled i-STAT 1 Analyzer, and all analytical steps are performed automatically. Patient and use information may be entered into the analyzer via a keypad during the automated analysis cycle. As the analyzer performs several quality checks and controls the temperature of the sensors via resistive heating to the underside of the sensor chips, the substrate/wash fluid is released into a conduit within the cartridge and a metered volume of the sample over the sensor chips. The enzyme-linked antibody conjugate dissolves into the sample incubates for a controlled time. The sample is then pushed into a waste chamber and the substrate/wash solution is brought over the sensors. The alkaline phosphatase captured on the BNP sensor cleaves the substrate present in the substrate/wash fluid, giving rise to an amperometric signal that is measured. The i-STAT BNP Controls are supplied in three levels packaged as six vials of one level per box with each vial containing 1 mL of control material. The three levels are in frozen liquid form, require no reconstitution or dilution, and are each comprised of a different level of BNP, a chemical synthetic peptide, prepared in human EDTA plasma and preserved with sodium azide. The first level of BNP is set at a typical diagnostic cutoff level while the second and third are set at higher levels spanning the range of the test. The BNP value will be provided in the value assignment sheet for each level. The i-STAT BNP Calibration Verification Control Set is packaged as a tri-level set comprised of two vials of each of three levels per box. The three levels in the BNP Calibration Verification Control Set are exactly the same materials as those used in the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 control products. The only difference between this product and the i-STAT BNP Controls is the number of vials and the number of levels that are packaged together.

The document describes a standard in vitro diagnostic test using electrochemical detection and does not mention any AI or ML components in the device description or performance studies.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test used to measure B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in samples, aiding in the diagnosis and assessment of congestive heart failure. It does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the i-STAT BNP test "can be used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of the severity of congestive heart failure." This directly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a single-use test cartridge, an i-STAT 1 Analyzer (which is thermally controlled and performs analytical steps automatically), and control materials in vials. The process involves physical sample handling and analysis within the analyzer.

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 i-STAT BNP test is an "in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in whole blood or plasma samples".
  • Sample Type: It uses biological samples (whole blood or plasma).
  • Purpose: It is used to measure a substance (BNP) in these samples to aid in the diagnosis and assessment of a medical condition (congestive heart failure).
  • Device Description: The description details a test cartridge and analyzer system designed to perform analytical steps on the sample outside of the body.
  • Controls: The description of the i-STAT BNP Controls and Calibration Verification Controls further supports its use in a diagnostic laboratory or point-of-care setting for quality control purposes.

All of these characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
