Intended Use
The ARCHITECT BNP assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) for the quantitative determination of human B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in human EDTA plasma on the ARCHITECT i System. BNP values are used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of heart failure. The ARCHITECT BNP Calibrators are for the calibration of the ARCHITECT i System when used for the quantitative determination of human B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in human EDTA plasma. Refer to the ARCHITECT BNP reagent package insert and ARCHITECT i System for additional information. The ARCHITECT BNP Controls are for the estimation of test precision and the detection of systematic analytical deviations of the ARCHITECT i System (reagents, calibrators, and instrument), when used for the quantitative determination of human B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in human EDTA plasma. Refer to the ARCHITECT BNP reagent package insert and ARCHITECT i System for additional information.
Device Description
ARCHITECT BNP assay is a two-step immunoassay for the quantitative determination of human B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in human EDTA plasma using CMIA technology with flexible assay protocols, refereed to as Chemiflex®. In the first step, sample and anti-BNP coated paramagnetic microparticles are combined. BNP present in the sample bind to the anti-BNP coated microparticles. After washing, anti-BNP acridinium-labeled conjugate is added to create a reaction mixture in the second step. Following another wash cycle pre-trigger and trigger solutions are added to the reaction mixture. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as relative light units (RLUs). A direct relationship exists between the amount of BNP in the sample and the RLUs detected by the ARCHITECT i System optics. For additional information on system and assay technology, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 3.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay for measuring BNP levels and does not mention any AI or ML components. The performance studies focus on comparing the assay to a predicate device using traditional statistical methods.

No.
The device is used for in vitro diagnostic testing to aid in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure, not to treat or cure a disease.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "BNP values are used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of heart failure." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) process involving reagents, microparticles, and a system (ARCHITECT i System) to measure light units. This indicates a hardware-based laboratory assay, 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 human B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in human EDTA plasma." This involves testing a biological sample (plasma) outside of the body to gain information about a person's health status.
  • Aid in Diagnosis: The intended use also states that BNP values are used as an "aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of heart failure." This directly aligns with the purpose of IVDs, which are used to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a "chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA)" which is a common technology used in IVD tests to measure specific substances in biological samples.
  • Sample Type: The device analyzes "human EDTA plasma," which is a biological sample.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies comparing the device to a predicate device using "EDTA plasma samples" from individuals with and without heart failure. This is typical for the validation of IVD devices.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (ABBOTT AxSYM® B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay (MEIA) Test) which is also an IVD, further supports the classification of this device as an IVD.

All of these points strongly indicate that the ARCHITECT BNP assay is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

A study was performed with guidance from NCCLS Protocol EP9-A2' to compare the ARCHITECT BNP assay to the AxSYM BNP assay. EDTA plasma samples form 171 individuals (128 heart failure patients, 43 non-heart failure individuals) were tested with both assays. These samples were collected from populations of individuals with and without heart failure.
