Intended Use
CREA reagent, when used in conjunction with UniCel® DxC 600/800 System(s), SYNCHRON® Systems Multi Calibrator and the CRTX Application Sheet, is intended for the quantitative determination of Creatinine concentration in human serum or plasma as a User Defined Reagent (UDR) application. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.
Device Description
The SYNCHRON Systems Creatinine (CREA) reagent is designed for optimal performance on SYNCHRON CX and UniCel DxC SYNCHRON instrument models. The reagent kit contains two 300-test cartridges that are packaged separately from the associated calibrator. The candidate CRTX User Defined application is designed for optimal use on UniCel DxC Systems as a sample-blanked method to reduce bilirubin interference in serum and plasma samples.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a chemical reagent and its use with laboratory instruments for quantitative determination of Creatinine. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is a reagent used for quantitative determination of creatinine concentration, which aids in diagnosis and treatment monitoring, but it does not directly provide therapy.

Yes
The intended use statement explicitly states that "Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases." This indicates that the device provides information used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly states it is a reagent kit and is intended for use with specific hardware systems (UniCel® DxC 600/800 System(s), SYNCHRON® Systems). This indicates it is a physical component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of Creatinine concentration in human serum or plasma." This is a measurement performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample.
  • Purpose: The measurements are used in the "diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes." These are all diagnostic or monitoring purposes related to health conditions.
  • Sample Type: It analyzes "human serum or plasma," which are biological specimens.
  • Device Description: It describes a "reagent" and its use with specific laboratory instruments (UniCel® DxC 600/800 System(s), SYNCHRON® Systems). Reagents used for analyzing biological samples in a lab setting are characteristic of IVDs.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K042291; SYNCHRON Systems Creatinine Reagent) further confirms its classification as a medical device, and given its function, specifically an IVD.

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 concerning a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.

SYNCHRON Systems Creatinine Reagent claims substantial The equivalence to the SYNCHRON Systems Creatinine Reagent currently in commercial distribution. FDA 510(k) Number K042291.

5.0 Device Description

The SYNCHRON Systems Creatinine (CREA) reagent is designed for optimal performance on SYNCHRON CX and UniCel DxC SYNCHRON instrument models. The reagent kit contains two 300-test cartridges that are packaged separately from the associated calibrator.

6.0 Intended Use

CREA reagent, when used in conjunction with UniCel® DxC 600/800 System(s), SYNCHRON® Systems Multi Calibrator and the CRTX Application Sheet, is intended for the quantitative determination of Creatinine concentration in human serum or plasma as a User Defined Reagent (UDR) application.

Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.

7.0 Comparison to the Predicate (Description of the Modification to the Legally Marketed Device)

The creatinine-triggered assay offers an alternative parameter set designed to work with the existing SYNCHRON Creatinine Reagent. The creatinine-triggered reagent application effectively reduces the interference seen with bilirubin when using the creatinine assay for serum and plasma samples. The creatinine-triagered assay uses a reaction trigger cycle employed for sample blanking. Use of the trigger cycle will reduce the sample throughput when compared to the system bar-coded creatinine assay.

8.0 Summary of Performance Data

Performance data from verification testing supports equivalency.
