Intended Use
The ARK™ Topiramate Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of topiramate in human serum or plasma on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The results obtained are used in the diagnosis and treatment of topiramate overdose and in monitoring levels of topiramate to help ensure appropriate therapy. The ARK™ Topiramate Calibrator is intended for use in calibration of the ARK Topiramate Assav. The ARKTM Topiramate Control is intended for use in quality control of the ARK Topiramate Assay.
Device Description
The ARK Topiramate Assay is a homogeneous immunoassay based on competition between drug in the specimen and topiramate epitope labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for binding to the antibody reagent. As the latter binds antibody, enzyme activity decreases. In the presence of drug from the specimen, enzyme activity increases and is directly proportional to the drug concentration. Active enzyme converts the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH that is measured spectrophotometrically as a rate of change in absorbance. Endogenous serum G6PDH does not interfere with the results because the coenyzme NAD functions only with the bacterial enzyme used in the assay. The ARK Topiramate Assay consists of reagents R1 anti-topiramate polyclonal antibody with substrate and R2 topiramate epitope labeled with bacterial G6PDH enzyme. The ARK Topiramate Calibrator consists of a six-level set to calibrate the assay, and the ARK Topiramate Control consists of a three-level set used for quality control of the assay.

No
The device description details a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay based on chemical reactions and spectrophotometric measurement, with no mention of AI or ML techniques. The performance studies focus on standard analytical validation methods for quantitative assays.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay designed to measure topiramate levels in human serum or plasma. It is used to monitor drug levels and in the diagnosis/treatment of topiramate overdose, which supports therapeutic decisions rather than directly providing therapy.

Yes

The text explicitly states under "Intended Use / Indications for Use" that "The results obtained are used in the diagnosis and treatment of topiramate overdose and in monitoring levels of topiramate to help ensure appropriate therapy." This indicates its role in diagnosing a medical condition (topiramate overdose).

No

The device is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay, which is a laboratory test kit consisting of chemical reagents (R1 and R2), calibrators, and controls. These are physical components used in a clinical chemistry analyzer, not software.

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 topiramate in human serum or plasma." This involves testing biological specimens (serum or plasma) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Purpose: The results are used "in the diagnosis and treatment of topiramate overdose and in monitoring levels of topiramate to help ensure appropriate therapy." This directly relates to providing information for medical diagnosis and treatment decisions.
  • Device Description: The description details a "homogeneous enzyme immunoassay," which is a common type of in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Components: The device includes "reagents," "calibrator," and "control," which are standard components of IVD kits used for performing tests and ensuring accuracy.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes performance studies like "Accuracy," "Linearity," "Method Comparison," and "Precision," which are typical evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices with K numbers (K070645, K970509, K970517) indicates that this device is being compared to previously cleared IVD devices.

All of these factors strongly indicate that the ARK™ Topiramate Assay, Calibrator, and Control are intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

Summary of Performance Studies

Nonclinical testing:
Limit of Quantitation (LOQ): The LOQ of the ARK Topiramate Assay was determined according to CLSI EP17-A and is defined as the lowest concentration for which acceptable inter-assay precision and recovery is observed (often considered ≤20% CV with ±15% recovery). The LOQ was determined to be 1.5 ug/mL.

Accuracy (analytical recovery): Performed by adding concentrated topiramate drug into human serum negative for topiramate across the assay range. Six replicates of each sample were assayed on an automated clinical chemistry analyzer. Percent recoveries from the testing (in six replicates) of samples spiked between 1.5 and 55.0 µg/mL were all within 10% of their theoretical levels.

Linearity: Linearity studies were performed as suggested in CLSI/NCCLS Protocol EP6-A. A 60.0 µg/mL serum sample was prepared and dilutions were made proportionally with human serum negative for topiramate. Topiramate concentrations ranged from 0.6 to 60.0 ug/mL. Linearity at specific dilutions was considered acceptable if the percent difference was ±10% between the predicted 158 and 2nd order regressed values. A linear relationship was demonstrated between 1.2 and 54.0 ug/mL.

Assay Range: The range of the assay is 1.5 to 54.0 ug/mL.

Method Comparison: Correlation studies were performed using CLSI/NCCLS Protocol EP9-A2. Results (113 samples, range 1.5 µg/mL to 53.4 µg/mL) from the ARK Topiramate assay were compared with results from a commercially available FPIA Immunoassay. Passing-Bablok regression analysis showed a slope of 0.99, y-intercept of -0.17, and correlation coefficient (r²) of 0.99.

Precision: Determined as described in CLSI/NCCLS Protocol EP5-A2. Tri-level controls containing topiramate were used. Each level of control was assayed in quadruplicate twice a day for 20 days (N=160). Acceptance criteria was

807.92 (b)(1) and 807.92 (b)(2): Brief Description of Nonclinical and Clinical Data

Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)

The LOO of the ARK Topiramate Assay was determined according to CLSI EP17-A and is defined as the lowest concentration for which acceptable inter-assay precision and recovery is observed (often considered ≤20% CV with ±15% recovery). The LOQ was determined to be 1.5 ug/mL.

Accuracy

Accuracy (analytical recovery) was performed by adding concentrated topiramate drug into human serum negative for topiramate. A stock concentrate of highly pure topiramate was added volumetrically to human serum negative for topiramate, representing drug concentrations across the assay range. Six replicates of each sample were assayed on an automated clinical chemistry analyzer. The results were averaged and compared to the target concentration and percent recovery calculated. Results are shown below.
