Intended Use
The neonatal bilirubin test intended use on the Rapidlab 1245 and Rapidlab 1265 analyzers is an in vitro diagnostic test for the determination of total neonatal bilirubin (nBili) concentration in the whole blood of newborn infants. Measurement of nBili aids in assessing the risk of kernicterus.
Device Description
Neonatal Bilirubin (nBili) is a new parameter enabled on models 1245 and 1265 of the Rapidlab® 1200 blood gas family of instruments. It is intended as an in vitro diagnostic test for the determination of total neonatal Bilirubin (nBili) concentration in the whole blood of newborn infants. Enabling the nBill measurement is accomplished through software design changes introduced in Rapidlab Software Version 2.1. No hardware /mechanical changes were needed.

No
The summary describes a software update to enable a new parameter (neonatal bilirubin) on existing blood gas analyzers. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics. The evaluation focuses on standard analytical performance metrics like the coefficient of determination.

No
The device is described as an in vitro diagnostic test for determining neonatal bilirubin concentration, which aids in assessing risk but does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the test is "an in vitro diagnostic test for the determination of total neonatal bilirubin (nBili) concentration in the whole blood of newborn infants. Measurement of nBili aids in assessing the risk of kernicterus." This directly indicates its role in diagnosing a condition or aiding in risk assessment for a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the software changes enable a new parameter on existing Rapidlab® 1200 blood gas family of instruments (models 1245 and 1265). These instruments are hardware devices. Therefore, the device is not software-only, but rather software that modifies the functionality of a hardware 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 neonatal bilirubin test is an "in vitro diagnostic test for the determination of total neonatal bilirubin (nBili) concentration in the whole blood of newborn infants."
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" section reiterates that the nBili parameter is "intended as an in vitro diagnostic test."
  • Sample Type: The test is performed on "whole blood," which is a biological specimen taken from the human body.
  • Purpose: The test is used to "aid in assessing the risk of kernicterus," which is a medical condition.

All of these points 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 determine the compatibility of transfused blood, organs or tissues, or to monitor therapeutic measures.

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

Studies were conducted to demonstrate the performance of the Rapidlab 1245 and 1265 with (nBili) parameter and assess substantial equivalence against the radiometer ABL735 and ABL800 FLEX (predicate devices).

The nBili internal evaluation study entailed testing concentrations of unconjugated bilirubin in oxygenated whole blood (neonatal type samples) across the reporting ranges. For a total of 2,241 samples, the coefficient of determination (r ) values were well within the acceptance criteria (>.90) for all model, device, and mode combinations. Specimens were evaluated on both models (1245 and 1256) and against the predicate devices. Based on performance data analyzed it was concluded that the predetermined acceptance criteria was met.

In addition information on Software Development Life Cycle including software requirements specifications, risk management report, and overall verification and validation results were included to provide additional assurance of device performance.

The neonatal bilirubin test intended for use on the Rapidlab® 1245 and Rapidlab 1265 analyzers is an in vitro diagnostic test for the determination of total neonatal bilirubin (nBili) concentration in the whole blood of newborn infants. Measurement of nBili aids in assessing the risk of kernicterus.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

1

The measurement technology used for the Rapidlab 1200 systems family (including models 1245 and 1265) remain unchanged. Ability to measure neonate Bilirubin was enabled through software changes.

The Rapidlab 1200 System uses multiple wavelength spectrophotometry (CO-oximetry) to measure the transmission of light through a sample of neonate whole blood to determine concentrations of hemoglobin derivatives and bilirubin. The Rapidlab 1200 System aspirates the whole blood sample at the sample port and then transfers the sample to the CO-ox module. As the sample flows through an optical chamber, the CO-ox module optics head directs light through the sample and to a polychromator that measures the intensity of transmitted light at different wavelengths. Iterative least squares analysis is used to determine raw bilirubin values. Raw values are then corrected for hematocrit to produce nBill results.

Assessment of Performance

Studies were conducted to demonstrate the performance of the Rapidlab 1245 and 1265 with (nBili) parameter and assess substantial equivalence against the radiometer ABL735 and ABL800 FLEX (predicate devices).

The nBili internal evaluation study entailed testing concentrations of unconjugated bilirubin in oxygenated whole blood (neonatal type samples) across the reporting ranges. For a total of 2,241 samples, the coefficient of determination (r ) values were well within the acceptance criteria (>.90) for all model, device, and mode combinations. Specimens were evaluated on both models (1245 and 1256) and against the predicate devices. Based on performance data analyzed it was concluded that the predetermined acceptance criteria was met.

In addition information on Software Development Life Cycle including software requirements specifications, risk management report, and overall verification and validation results were included to provide additional assurance of device performance.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the studies completed demonstrate that the Neonatal Bilirubin (nBili) on the Rapidlab 1245 and 1265 blood gas systems is similar to the predicate in both Technological Characteristics and Intended Use. The data presented in the submission is a summary of internal evaluation, external clinical evaluation, and software development information. This information provides assurance that the RapidLab 1200 analyzer (models 1245 and 1265) measuring neonate bilirubin has demonstrated substantial equivalence to the currently marketed radiometer predicate across the reporting range.
