Intended Use
The ARK™ Gabapentin Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of gabapentin in human serum or plasma on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Gabapentin concentrations can be used as an aid in management of patients treated with gabapentin. The ARKTM Gabapentin Calibrator is intended for use in calibration of the ARK Gabapentin Assay. The ARKTM Gabapentin Control is intended for use in quality control of the ARK Gabapentin Assay.
Device Description
The ARK Gabapentin Assay is a homogeneous immunoassay based on competition between drug in the specimen and gabapentin 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 Gabapentin Assay consists of reagents R1 anti-gabapentin polyclonal antibody with substrate and R2 gabapentin labeled with bacterial G6PDH enzyme. The ARK Gabapentin Calibrator consists of a six-level set to calibrate the assay, and the ARK Gabapentin Control consists of a three-level set used for quality control of the assay. ARK Gabapentin products contain ≤0.09% sodium azide. As a precaution, affected plumbing should be flushed adequately with water to mitigate the potential accumulation of explosive metal azides. No special handling is required regarding other assay components.

No
The device description and performance studies detail a standard enzyme immunoassay for quantitative determination of gabapentin. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational methods beyond standard data analysis for performance metrics.

No.
This device is an immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of gabapentin levels in human serum or plasma to aid in the management of patients treated with gabapentin. It is a diagnostic test, not a therapeutic device that provides treatment.

Yes.

The device is intended for the quantitative determination of gabapentin in human serum or plasma to aid in the management of patients treated with gabapentin, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay, which involves chemical reagents and reactions to measure gabapentin levels. This is a laboratory assay kit, not a software-only device.

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 gabapentin in human serum or plasma". This involves testing biological specimens (serum or plasma) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Purpose: The results are used "as an aid in management of patients treated with gabapentin". This indicates a medical purpose related to patient care.
  • Device Description: The description details a "homogeneous enzyme immunoassay" which is a common type of in vitro diagnostic test. It also describes reagents, calibrators, and controls, which are typical components of IVD kits.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes performance studies like Limit of Quantitation, Recovery, Linearity, Method Comparison, and Precision, which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K083799; ARKTM Topiramate Assay) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory clearance as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the 510(k) submission process for IVDs.

All these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)

The LOQ of the ARK Gabapentin 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 (≤20% CV with ±15% recovery). The LOQ was determined to be 0.75 ug/mL.

Recovery

Accuracy (analytical recovery) was performed by adding concentrated gabapentin drug into human serum negative for gabapentin. A stock concentrate of highly pure gabapentin was added volumetrically to human serum negative for gabapentin, 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.

Linearitv

Linearity studies were performed as suggested in CLSI/NCCLS Protocol EP6-A. A 48.0 µg/mL serum sample was prepared and dilutions were made proportionally with human serum negative for gabapentin. Gabapentin concentrations ranged from 0.75 to 48.0 µg/mL. Linearity at specific dilutions was considered acceptable if the percent difference was ±10% between the predicted 1st and 2nd order regressed values or ±15% ≤ 1.0 µg/mL. A linear relationship was demonstrated between 0.75 and 48.0 µg/mL. Results are shown below.

Assay Range

The range of the assay is 0.75 to 40.0 µg/mL. Report results below this range as 40.0 µg/mL or above the analyzer-specific upper LOQ established in your laboratory.

Specimens testing initially above the assay range may be diluted in Calibrator A and retested. Multiply the assay result by the dilution factor to obtain the concentration of gabapentin in the undiluted specimen. A dilution factor of 4 is suggested.

Precision

Precision was determined as described in CLSI/NCCLS Protocol EPS-A2. Tri-level controls and three human serum pooled specimens containing gabapentin were used in the study. Each level was assayed in quadruplicate twice a day for 20 days. Each of the runs per day was separated by at least two hours. The within run, between day, total SD, and percent CVs were calculated. Results are shown below. Acceptance criteria:
