Intended Use
The Hitachi Clinical Analyzer S TEST reagent cartridge CRP is intended for the quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein in serum, lithium heparin plasma, K3 EDTA plasma, and sodium citrate plasma. The test system is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. CRP measurements aid in the evaluation of injury to body tissues, and infection and inflammatory disorders. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Description
The Hitachi Clinical Analyzer is an automatic, bench-top, wet chemistry system intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. The instrument consists of a desktop analyzer unit, an operations screen that prompts the user for operation input and displays data, a printer, and a unit cover. The analyzer unit includes a single probe, an incubation rotor, carousels for sample cups and reagent cartridges, and a multi-wavelength photometer. The single-use reagent cartridges may be placed in any configuration on the carousel, allowing the user to develop any test panel where the reagent cartridges are available. The S TEST reagent cartridges are made of plastic and include two small reservoirs capable of holding two separate reagents (R1 and R2), separated by a reaction cell/photometric cuvette. The cartridges also include a dot code label that contains all chemistry parameters, calibration factors, and other production-related information, e.g., expiration dating. The dimensions of the reagent cartridges are: 13.5 mm (W) x 28 mm (D) x 20.2 mm (H). System operation: After the sample cup is placed into the carousel, the analyzer pipettes the sample, pipettes the reagent, and mixes (stirs) the sample and reagent together. After the sample and reagent react in the incubator bath, the analyzer measures the absorbance of the sample, and based on the absorbance of the reactions, it calculates the concentration of analyte in the sample. The test system can measure analytes in serum or plasma and results are available in approximately 15 minutes per test. This submission is for reagent cartridge test systems for CRP. Chemistry reactions: CRP in samples causes an antigen-antibody reaction with latex sensitizes with Goat antihuman C-Reactive Protein antibody to induce agglutination. The concentration of CRP can be determined by measuring this agglutination as the amount of change in absorbance. CRP + Goat anti-human C-reactive protein antibody coated latex -> Agglutination due to antigen-antibody reaction

No
The description details a standard wet chemistry analyzer and reagent system with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The calculations are based on absorbance measurements and standard chemical reaction principles.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) system used for the quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP), which aids in the evaluation of injury to body tissues, and infection and inflammatory disorders. It measures analytes, but does not treat or directly interact with the patient for therapeutic purposes.

Yes

The intended use of the device is for the "quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein in serum, lithium heparin plasma, K3 EDTA plasma, and sodium citrate plasma" to "aid in the evaluation of injury to body tissues, and infection and inflammatory disorders." This directly falls under the definition of a diagnostic device as it measures biomarkers to help diagnose or monitor diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, bench-top analyzer unit with various hardware components (probe, rotor, carousels, photometer) and single-use reagent cartridges. While software is involved in operation and calculation, the core of the device is hardware-based.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use only." It also describes the intended use as the quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein in various biological samples (serum, plasma) to aid in the evaluation of medical conditions. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a system designed to perform chemical analysis on biological samples outside of the body ("wet chemistry system").
  • Chemistry Reactions: The description explains the biochemical reaction used to detect and quantify CRP in the sample, which is a core component of an in vitro diagnostic test.

The S TEST reagent cartridges are made of plastic and include two small reservoirs capable of holding two separate reagents (R1 and R2), separated by a reaction cell/photometric cuvette. The cartridges also include a dot code label that contains all chemistry parameters, calibration factors, and other production-related information, e.g., expiration dating. The dimensions of the reagent cartridges are: 13.5 mm (W) x 28 mm (D) x 20.2 mm (H).

System operation: After the sample cup is placed into the carousel, the analyzer pipettes the sample, pipettes the reagent, and mixes (stirs) the sample and reagent together. After the sample and reagent react in the incubator bath, the analyzer measures the absorbance of the sample, and based on the absorbance of the reactions, it calculates the concentration of analyte in the sample. The test system can measure analytes in serum or plasma and results are available in approximately 15 minutes per test. This submission is for reagent cartridge test systems for CRP.

Chemistry reactions:

CRP in samples causes an antigen-antibody reaction with latex sensitizes with Goat antihuman C-Reactive Protein antibody to induce agglutination. The concentration of CRP can be determined by measuring this agglutination as the amount of change in absorbance.

CRP + Goat anti-human C-reactive protein antibody coated latex -> Agglutination due to antigen-antibody reaction

Interference Testing (per CLSI EP7-A2)

The data demonstrated that the C-reactive protein test system was not affected by high levels of the following substances at the levels noted:

Hemoglobin: no interference up to 1000 mg/dL Unconjugated bilirubin: no interference up to 50 mg/dL Lipemia: no interference up to 2000 mg/dL Ascorbic acid: no interference up to 50 mg/dL

Lack of interference was defined as recoveries between 90% and 110% of the neat value, and assay performance claims were established on the HITACHI Clinical Analyzer by testing two serum pools containing approximately 12 mg/L and 80 mg/L C-reactive protein.

Method Comparison (per CLSI EP9-A2)

A total of 88 clinical specimens, spanning the dynamic range (1 to 125 mg/L), were assayed in singleton and in a blinded fashion by both the Hitachi system and a standard laboratory system. Regression statistics are based on the balance of the paired results, and the data were as follows:

A study was performed to validate the use of various plasma types, as an alternative to serum, for the Hitachi Clinical Analyzer with S TEST reagent cartridge for C-Reactive Protein. The plasma types were sodium citrate, lithium heparin, and K3 EDTA. Forty-five (45) matched serum/plasma samples that spanned the dynamic range (1 to 123 mg/L) were assayed in singleton and the results were compared using least squares liner regression (plasma = y-axis, each type).

807.92 (b)(2): Brief Description of Clinical Data

Studies for precision and method comparison (accuracy) were performed at three external POL-type sites to evaluate the Hitachi Clinical Analyzer with S TEST reagent cartridges for CRP in one of its targeted intended use environments, the physician's office laboratory.

For the external site precision study, each site received three blinded serum samples (the Precision Panel, labeled A, B, and C) that were chosen to represent low, middle, and high concentrations of CRP. Each sample was assayed six times per day for five days, reporting 30 results per level per analyte. Precision estimates for total precision were as follows:
