Device Description
The ACCELERATOR APS (Automated Processing Systems) is a modular system designed to automate pre-analytical sample processing, sample handling, and processing in the clinical laboratory. The system consolidates multiple analytical instruments into a unified workstation by employing a common sample processing capability. The workcell software provides for workload management, sample order management, and instrument operational status monitoring. This is accomplished through communication connections between the workcell, analyzers, and LIS (laboratory information systems) or middleware. The ACCELERATOR APS performs the following pre and post-analytical functions. - Sample bar code identification (previously performed by the analyzer) - Sample transport and tracking - Sample centrifugation (Optional functionality) - Sample de-capping (Optional functionality) - Tube sealing (Optional functionality) - Sample Storage and Retrieval (Optional functionality) The ARCHITECT Family of Instruments test instructions and test results for each sample are not processed through the ACCELERATOR APS. The following analyzers have been validated for use with the ACCELERATOR APS. - ARCHITECT cSystems (c8000 and c16000) - ARCHITECT i2000 - ARCHITECT i2000sr
More Information

No
The summary describes an automated laboratory system for sample processing and analysis, focusing on automation, sample handling, and integration with existing analyzers and LIS. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any learning algorithms. The performance studies focus on method correlation, which is standard for comparing analytical systems, not AI/ML performance metrics.

No
The device is an automated system for pre-analytical processing, sample handling, and diagnostic analysis in a clinical laboratory. It measures various analytes to aid in diagnosis, rather than providing therapy.

Yes

The ARCHITECT c8000 System measures analytes like Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride, which are explicitly stated as being used in the "diagnosis and treatment diseases involving electrolyte imbalance." The ACCELERATOR APS supports this system, making the combined setup serve a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components and functions such as sample transport, centrifugation, de-capping, tube sealing, storage, and retrieval, in addition to the software for workload management and communication.

Based on the provided text, the ARCHITECT c8000 System is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The text explicitly states the ARCHITECT c8000 System is a "discrete photometric chemistry analyzer for clinical use" and is "intended for use in conjunction with certain materials to measure a variety of analytes". It also mentions its use for "Sodium, Potassium and Chloride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment diseases involving electrolyte imbalance." This clearly indicates it's used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis or treatment.
  • Device Description: It describes the system performing analytical procedures like pipetting, heating, and measuring color intensity, which are typical steps in in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The inclusion of performance studies comparing the system's results for Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride assays further supports its role in generating diagnostic data.

The ACCELERATOR APS (Automated Processing Systems), while used in a clinical laboratory setting and handling samples, is described as a system to "automate pre-analytical processing, sample handling, and processing". It performs functions like sample identification, transport, centrifugation, etc. The text also states that "The ARCHITECT Family of Instruments test instructions and test results for each sample are not processed through the ACCELERATOR APS." This suggests the ACCELERATOR APS is a laboratory automation system that supports the IVD process but is not the device that performs the diagnostic test itself.

Therefore, the ARCHITECT c8000 System fits the definition of an IVD, while the ACCELERATOR APS appears to be a laboratory automation system that integrates with IVD devices.
