Intended Use
The SIRO method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of Sirolimus in human whole blood on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system. Measurements of Sirolimus are used as an aid in the management of sirolimus therapy in renal transplant patients. The Sirolimus Calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of Sirolimus (SIRO) on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system.
Device Description
The automated Dimension® SIRO method uses an immunoassay technique in which free and sirolimus-bound antibody-enzyme conjugates are separated using magnetic particles. The assay is performed using a method specific Flex® reagent cartridge. The Flex® cartridge contains a pretreatment reagent, antibody-B-galactosidase conjugate, sirolimus immobilized on chromium dioxide particles, chlorophenol red ß-d-galactopyranoside (CPRG) substrate, and diluent to hydrate the tablets. To perform the SIRO assay, a sample cup (or SSC) containing the whole blood sample to be analyzed and a SIRO Flex® reagent cartridge are placed appropriately on the Dimension® system. The Dimension® system mixes and lyses the whole blood sample. The lysed sample is then mixed with the antibody enzyme conjugate. The sirolimus present in the sample is bound by the sirolimus antibody conjugate reagent. Magnetic particles coated with sirolimus are added to bind free (unbound) antibody-enzyme conjugate. The reaction mixture is then separated magnetically. Following separation, the supernatant containing the sirolimus-antibody-enzyme complex is transferred to another cuvette and mixed with the substrate. B-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of CPRG (chlorophenol red ß-d-galactopyranoside) to produce CPR (chlorophenol red) that absorbs light maximally at 577 nm. The change in absorbance at 577 nm due to the formation of CPR is directly proportional to the amount of sirolimus in the patient's sample and is measured using a bichromatic (577, 700 nm) rate technique. The Dimension® Sirolimus Calibrator (DC306) is an in-vitro diagnostic product intended to be used to calibrate the Dimension® Sirolimus method. It is a frozon liquid product packaged as a single vial for each of five levels. The matrix is human whole blood hemolysate with preservatives. Levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 contain sirolimus drug at target values of 5, 10, 20, and 31.5 ng/mL, respectively. Level 1 is a human whole blood hemolysate that does not contain sirolimus drug.

No

The device description clearly outlines a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic system (Dimension® clinical chemistry system) that uses physical reagents, magnetic particles, and optical measurements to perform the assay. While software is undoubtedly involved in controlling the system and processing data, the core functionality and components are hardware-based.

Based on the provided text, the device is indeed an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use / Indications for Use: The text explicitly states "The SIRO method is an in vitro diagnostic test..." and "The Sirolimus Calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product...".
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory test performed on a human whole blood sample using reagents and a clinical chemistry system. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Performance Studies: The inclusion of method comparison and reproducibility studies, common for IVD devices to demonstrate performance characteristics.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K042411 Abbott IMx Sirolimus Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay and IMx Sirolimus Calibrator) which is also an IVD, further supports the classification of this device as an IVD.

Therefore, all the provided information points to this device being an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

Method comparison: A split patient sample (EDTA whole blood) method comparison demonstrated good agreement between the Siemens Dimension® SIRO method and HPLC/MS, the reference method.

The repeatability and within-lab standard deviations were calculated by the analysis of variance method independently for each site. The data above is representative of the results obtained in the reproducibility testing.
