Intended Use
The STA® - Liquid Anti-Xa kits are intended for use with STA-R®, STA Compact® and STA Satellite® analyzers, for the quantitative determination of the plasma levels of unfractionated (UFH) and low molecular weight (LMWH) heparins by measuring their anti-Xa activity on antithrombin in a competitive assay using a synthetic chromogenic substrate. The STA® - Multi Hep Calibrator is a set of calibrator plasmas intended for use with STA-R®, STA Compact®, and STA Satellite® analyzers, for the calibration of heparin (UFH and LMWH) activity assay by measuring the anti-Xa activity. The STA® - Quality HNF/UFH kit is a set of two plasmas intended for the quality control of unfractionated heparin (UFH) activity assay by measuring the anti-Xa activity performed on STA-R®, STA Compact®, and STA Satellite® analyzers. The STA® - Quality HBPM/LMWH kit is a set of two plasmas intended for the quality control of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) activity assay by measuring the anti-Xa activity performed on STA-R®, STA Compact, and STA Satellite® analyzers.
Device Description
The STA® - Liquid Anti-Xa is a chromogenic assay technique used for determination of the level of UFH and LMWH that have high affinity for antithrombin by measuring their anti-Xa activity. The method is a one-step reaction based on a similar principle: as soon as factor Xa is added to the plasma-substrate mixture, two reactions take place simultaneously, namely, hydrolysis of the substrate by factor Xa and inhibition of factor Xa by the heparin-antithrombin complex. After the necessary period of time for the competitive reaction to reach equilibrium, the quantity of paranitroaniline that is released is inversely proportional to the concentration of heparin present in the test medium. The STA® - Multi Hep Calibrator reagents are lyophilized human plasmas at five different heparin concentrations. They are used to create the calibration curve on STA-R®, STA Compact®, and STA Satellite® analyzers performing the chromogenic method for heparin (UFH and LMWH) using STA® - Liquid Anti-Xa. The STA® - Quality HNF/UFH reagents are lyophilized human plasmas at two different UFH concentrations. They are used for the quality control of UFH activity assay by measuring the anti-Xa activity using the chromogenic method STA® - Liquid Anti-Xa performed on STA-R®, STA Compact®, and STA Satellite® analyzers. The STA® - Quality HBPM/LMWH reagents are lyophilized human plasmas at two different LMWH concentrations. They are used for the quality control of LMWH activity assay by measuring the anti-Xa activity using the chromogenic methods, STA® - Liquid Anti-Xa and STA® - Rotachrom® Heparin, performed on STA-R®, STA Compact, and STA Satellite® analyzers.

No
The description focuses on a chromogenic assay technique and standard laboratory procedures for calibration and quality control. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test kit used for the quantitative determination and quality control of heparin levels in plasma, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device quantitatively determines the plasma levels of heparins by measuring anti-Xa activity, which is used to assess a patient's heparin levels for medical management. This measurement provides diagnostic information about the patient's coagulation status related to heparin treatment.

No

The device description clearly outlines the use of physical reagents (chromogenic assay kits, lyophilized human plasmas) and relies on specific hardware analyzers (STA-R®, STA Compact®, and STA Satellite®) to perform the intended function. This is an in vitro diagnostic assay with hardware and reagent components, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states the kits are for the "quantitative determination of the plasma levels of unfractionated (UFH) and low molecular weight (LMWH) heparins by measuring their anti-Xa activity". This is a diagnostic measurement performed on a biological sample (plasma) to provide information about a patient's health status (heparin levels).
  • Device Description: The description details a "chromogenic assay technique" that uses reagents to analyze a biological sample (plasma). This is a typical description of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Sample Type: The input is plasma, which is a biological sample taken from a patient.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies like precision, detection limit, linearity, and interference, which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices with K numbers indicates that this device is being compared to previously cleared IVD devices.

All of these factors align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease.

Device Description

  • STA® - Liquid Anti-Xa: The STA® - Liguid Anti-Xa is a chromogenic assay technique used for determination of the level of UFH and LMWH that have high affinity for antithrombin by measuring their anti-Xa activity. The normal function of a molecule of factor Xa, when present in plasma, is to cleave its natural substrate, prothrombin, to generate thrombin, the enzyme responsible for the formation of the fibrin clot. In the presence of heparin, competition occurs between this mechanism and the inhibitory mechanism exerted by the heparin-antithrombin complex, this inhibition being largely responsible for the anticoagulant action of heparin. The proposed method is a one-step reaction based on a similar principle: as soon as factor Xa is added to the plasma-substrate mixture, two reactions take place simultaneously, namely, hydrolysis of the substrate by factor Xa and inhibition of factor Xa by the heparin-antithrombin complex*. After the necessary period of time for the competitive reaction to reach equilibrium, the quantity of paranitroaniline that is released is inversely proportional to the concentration of heparin present in the test medium. * The heparin-antithrombin complex is made up from the heparin and the antithrombin (AT) peculiar to the patient.
