Intended Use
The PBNP method is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative measurement of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in human serum and plasma on the Dimension Vista™ System. In individuals suspected of having congestive heart failure (CHF) measurements of NT-proBNP are used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity. The test is further indicated for the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome and heart failure. The Dimension Vista™ NT-proBNP (PBNP) calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (PBNP) method on the Dimension Vista™ System.
Device Description
The PBNP method is a one-step sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay based on Luminescent Oxygen Channeling Immunoassay (LOCI™) technology. LOCI™ reagents include two latex bead reagents and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody fragment which recognize an epitope located in the N-terminal part of proBNP. The first bead reagent (Sensibeads) is coated with streptavidin and contains photosensitive dye. The second bead reagent (Chemibeads) is coated with a second antibody specific for a second independent epitope on NT-proBNP and contains chemiluminescent dye. Sample is incubated with Chemibeads and biotinylated antibody to form a particle/NTproBNP/biotinylated antibody sandwich. Sensibeads then are added and bind to form a bead-aggregated immunocomplex. Illumination of the complex by light at 680 nm generates singlet oxygen from Sensibeads, which diffuses to the Chemibeads and triggers a chemiluminescent reaction. The resulting chemiluminescent signal is measured at 612 nm and is directly proportional to the concentration of NT-proBNP in the sample. The PBNP Calibrator is a frozen liquid product containing synthetic human N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in a bovine albumin matrix with stabilizers and preservative. The kit consists of eight vials, two each of four levels (A, B, C, and D), 1.0 mL per vial for levels A, C, and D and 1.5 mL per vial for level B.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a standard immunoassay technology (LOCI™) for measuring NT-proBNP. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational algorithms beyond standard signal processing for quantitative measurement. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used to measure NT-proBNP levels, aiding in the diagnosis and assessment of congestive heart failure and risk stratification. It is for diagnostic purposes, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The PBNP method is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative measurement of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in human serum and plasma on the Dimension Vista™ System. In individuals suspected of having congestive heart failure (CHF) measurements of NT-proBNP are used as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity." and "The Dimension Vista™ NT-proBNP (PBNP) calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product...".

No

The device description clearly details physical reagents (latex beads, antibodies, dyes) and a frozen liquid calibrator, indicating it is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic assay, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The very first sentence explicitly states, "The PBNP method is an in vitro diagnostic assay..." and the description of the calibrator also states it is an "in vitro diagnostic product".
  • Nature of the Test: The test measures a substance (NT-proBNP) in human serum and plasma, which are biological samples taken from the body. This is a key characteristic of in vitro diagnostics.
  • Purpose of the Test: The test is used "as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity" of congestive heart failure and for "risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome and heart failure." These are clinical purposes for which IVDs are used.
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based immunoassay method (LOCI™ technology) that analyzes the sample outside of the body.

All of these points strongly indicate that this device is an In Vitro Diagnostic.
