Intended Use
The STA Compact® Automated Multi-Parametric Analyzer is a fully automatic clinical instrument designed to perform tests on human plasmas, the results of which aid in the diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities or in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.
Device Description
The STA Compact Automated Multi-Parametric Analyzer is designed as a fully automatic system. Samples and test reagents are loaded into the instrument where sample handling, reagent delivery, analysis, and reporting of results are performed automatically. A central processing unit controls instrument functions such as, management of patient results, quality control, support for instrument maintenance, and work load optimization. The instrument utilizes Diagnostica Stago reagents in addition to open adaptation of other currently available reagents. Barcoding of test reagents, calibrators, and controls facilitate their use on the system and permits reagent management simple. Manual entry of reagent information enables the use of non-barcoded reagents. The instrument performs multiple test methodologies in random access as selected by the user. These include clotting time or clot-based tests (i.e. chronometric) measurements and photometric assays (at specific wavelengths) on plasma samples. The STA Compact® is the modified version of the Company's STA Compact® (K961579), legally marketed Predicate Device. The modification of the device involves replacement of components for reliability of operation or obsolescence reasons, change in the device application software to provide operator/user use enhancements and modification of the data post-processing to increase results reliability.
More Information

No
The description focuses on automation of standard laboratory processes and data management, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation. The modifications are described as component replacements and software enhancements for user experience and reliability, not for advanced analytical capabilities.

No
The device is described as a clinical instrument designed to perform tests on human plasmas to aid in the diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities or in monitoring anticoagulant therapy, which are diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device's results "aid in the diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical instrument with automated sample handling, reagent delivery, analysis, and reporting, controlled by a central processing unit. While it includes software for control and data management, it is fundamentally a hardware-based system.

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 device is designed to "perform tests on human plasmas, the results of which aid in the diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities or in monitoring anticoagulant therapy." This clearly indicates that the device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (plasma) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device processes samples and reagents to perform analyses, which is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic instrument.
  • Use of Reagents: The mention of using "Diagnostica Stago reagents in addition to open adaptation of other currently available reagents" further supports its role in performing chemical or biological tests on samples.

The core function of analyzing human plasma to aid in diagnosis and therapy monitoring aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The modification of the device involves replacement of components for reliability of operation or obsolescence reasons, change in the device application software to provide operator/user use enhancements and modification of the data post-processing to increase results reliability. The software modification essentially consists of addition of a quality improvement function which provides Hook Effect Detection when the vWF (Von Willebrand factor) test is performed on the sample plasma. This function identifies the hook effect (showing abnormally low results for high concentrations of the vWF factor) which subsequently allows the instrument to perform appropriate re-dilutions to obtain reliable results.
