No.
The ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for the quantitative determination of constituents in blood and other fluids, which is used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, but it does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System "is intended for in vitro diagnostic use" and that the associated reagents (ACE TIBC Reagent, ACE Serum Iron Reagent, ACE Lipase Reagent) are used for "diagnosis and treatment of anemia," "diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis, and chronic renal disease," and "diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the pancreas such as acute pancreatitis and obstruction of the pancreatic duct," respectively.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of two major components: a chemistry instrument (hardware that performs measurements) and an integrated Panel PC (which includes hardware like a keyboard or touch screen). This is not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicit Statement in Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System is an automated, discrete, bench-top, random access analyzer that is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of constituents in blood and other fluids."
- Explicit Statement in Reagent Descriptions: Each reagent description also includes the phrase "For in vitro diagnostic use only."
- Nature of the Tests: The tests performed (quantitative determination of TIBC, Serum Iron, and Lipase in serum) are all performed on biological samples outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This is the core definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System consists of two major components, the chemistry instrument and an integrated Panel PC. The instrument accepts the physical patient samples, performs the appropriate optical or potentiometric measurements on those samples and communicates that data to an integral Panel PC. The Panel PC uses keyboard or touch screen input to manually enter a variety of data, control and accept data from the instrument, manage and maintain system information and generate reports relative to patient status and instrument performance. The Panel PC also allows remote download of patient requisitions and upload of patient results via a standard interface.
In the ACE Direct Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Reagent assay, Direct TIBC Color Reagent, an acidic buffer containing an iron-binding dye and ferric chloride, is added to the serum sample. The low pH of Direct TIBC Color Reagent releases iron from transferrin. The iron then forms a colored complex with the dye. The colored complex at the end of the first step represents both the serum iron and excess iron already present in Direct TIBC Color Reagent. Direct TIBC Buffer, a neutral buffer, is then added, shifting the pH and resulting in a large increase in the affinity of transferrin for iron. The serum transferrin rapidly binds the iron by abstracting it from the dye-iron complex. The observed decrease in absorbance of the colored dye-iron complex is directly proportional to the total iron-binding capacity of the serum sample. The absorbance is measured at 647 nm.
In the ACE Serum Iron Reagent assay, transferrin-bound iron in serum is released at an acidic pH and reduced from ferric to ferrous ions. These ions react with ferrozine to form a violet colored complex, which is measured bichromatically at 554 nm/692 nm. The intensity of color produced is directly proportional to the serum iron concentration.
In the ACE Lipase Reagent Assay, serum lipase acts on a natural substrate, 1,2-diglyceride, to liberate 2-monoglyceride. This is hydrolyzed by monoglyceride lipase (a highly specific enzyme for monoglyceride) into glycerol and free fatty acid. Glycerol kinase acts on glycerol to form glycerol-3-phosphate, which is in turn acted on by glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase to generate hydrogen peroxide. Peroxidase converts the hydrogen peroxide, 4-Aminoantipyrine and TOOS (N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-m-toluidine) into a quinine dye. The rate of formation of the dye, determined bichromatically at an absorbance of 573 nm/692 nm, is proportional to the lipase activity in the sample.
The ACE Direct TIBC Reagent is composed of two reagent bottles (Direct TIBC Color Reagent and Direct TIBC Buffer). The Direct TIBC Color Reagent (R1) contains: Chromazurol B, Cetrimide, ferric chloride and acetate buffer. The Direct TIBC Buffer (R2) contains: sodium bicarbonate buffer.
The ACE Serum Iron Reagent is composed of two reagent bottles (Buffer and Color Reagent). The Buffer (R1) contains: hydroxylamine hydrochloride, acetate buffer (pH 4.5) and surfactant. The Color Reagent (R2) contains: ferrozine and hydroxylamine hydrochloride.
The ACE Lipase Reagent is composed of two reagent bottles (Lipase Reagent and Lipase Activator Reagent). The Lipase Reagent (R1) contains: 1,2-diglyceride, monoglyceride lipase, glycerol kinase, glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-m-toluidine, ATP, peroxidase and cholic acid.

| Technological
Characteristics: | The following is a description of the major features of the ACE Axcel
Clinical Chemistry System: |
| | System throughput is approximately 160 test results per hour for
routine, single reagent chemistries. System throughput will be
higher when the test workload includes ISE's. The instrument has a capacity of 40 reagent containers on board. A reagent cooling system maintains the reagents at 12°C during
instrument operation. Reagent containers are identified by computer coded labels to
simplify system operation. All reagents in the system must
include an identification label on the container. |
| • | Sample and reagent sensing notify the operator of a depleted condition during operation. |
| • | The system performs analysis at a reaction temperature of 37°C. |
| • | An electrolyte subsystem capable of measuring sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations is included. |
| • | Primary draw tubes may be introduced one at a time into the system for closed tube sampling. Positive tube identification can be achieved with an optional barcode scanner. An aliquot volume sufficient for all tests ordered is transferred and stored and the closed tube is returned to the user. |
| • | Sample cups are introduced to the system one at a time or by sample ring segment. |
| • | Disposable cuvettes are loaded in bulk and then automatically injected as needed by a cuvette hopper system. The ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System optical system is capable of monitoring a maximum of 48 cuvettes at one time. |
| • | The absorbance optical system is capable of absorbance measurements in a linear range of 0.0 to 2.0 absorbance units (at 0.67 cm pathlength). Sixteen wavelengths are measured simultaneously using a photodiode array. |
