  • Label Copy
    The IVD-GE02 system is contained on a single multi-analyte sensor chip that has an arrav of individual sensors, each of which measures a different analyte. The sensors produce electrical signals in response to the analytes in the blood. The signal from each sensor is proportional to the concentration of analyte.

The individual sensors use one of two transducer technologies: potentiometric (a field effect transistor structure to measure the potential generated), and amperometric (measuring the current generated).

Many of the transducers on the sensor chip require a covering membrane so that thev can respond to a specific analyte. The membranes used by Sphere on the IVD- GE02 sensor array are based on those already used in other commercially available blood analysers.

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

Linearity:
The study design was based on CSLI document EP6-A "Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach: Approved Guideline".
The study used human whole blood as the test material and was conducted for the analytes pH. pCO2. pO2. K+. and glucose.
7 levels of each analyte were read in duplicate on each of three IVD-GE02 systems and the predicate device (Rapidlab 865 blood gas analyser).
Results: R2 values were >0.99 for all analytes (pH, pO2, pCO2, K+, Glucose).

Aqueous Precision:
The study design is based on CLSI document EP5-A2. Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods Approved Guideline-Second Edition. On each day the outlier test was applied to the duplicate readings, as described in EP5-A2. Data was analysed as specified in CLSI quideline EP5-A2.
The mean, the repeatability (within run precision), the between-day standard deviation, the between-run standard deviation and the total precision were calculated from the raw data with all calculations beinq performed as recommended in CLSI quideline EP5-A2.
The precision data collected for the IVD-GE02 shows comparable performance to published precision data for other blood analysers within the reference range.

Precision in Blood:
The study was conducted for the analytes pH, pCO2, pO2, K*, and glucose and for each analyte, human blood samples were prepared at two different levels of analyte. Ten readings of the analyte level in human blood were taken at each analyte level. After each replicate of a blood sample was read on the IVD-GE02 system the same sample was read on the predicate device (Rapidlab 865 blood gas analyser).
Human whole blood was used for the "Precision Study in Blood". Blood was drawn into heparinised vacutainers by trained phlebotomists. All blood was used within 24 hours of donation.

Method Comparison:
The Method Comparison study compared the IVD-GE02 with the Rapidlab 865 predicate device. The study was conducted in a clinical setting with human blood samples. Data from the linearity study was also included to extend the analyte range used.
The objective of the study was to compare the IVD-GE02 system and the Rapidlab 865 blood gas analyser for measurements on human blood of pH, potassium, oxygen, glucose and carbon dioxide.
The study design is based on the CSLI guideline EP9A-2 and a review of similar 510(k) submissions.
Results: Slope and intercept values indicated good correlation with the predicate device, and R2 values ranged from 0.9501 to 0.9954.

Interferent Study:
The study design is based on CLSI document EP7-A2: Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline Second Edition and was designed to ascertain the effect of potential interfering substances of the performance of the IVD-GE02.

Conclusions:
For all analytes the observed precision, linearity and method comparison of the IVD-GE02 system is substantially equivalent to that seen for the predicate device (Rapidlab 865).
