Intended Use
The ALPI method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of alkaline phosphatase in human serum and plasma on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system. Measurements of alkaline phosphatase or its isoenzymes are used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, bone, parathyroid, and intestinal diseases. ALPI CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of alkaline phosphatase (ALPI) method on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system.
Device Description
The ALPI method employs alkaline phosphatase that catalyzes the transphosphorylation of pnitropheny | phosphate (p-NPP) to p-nitrophenol (p-NP) in the presence of the transphosphorylating buffer, 2 amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP). The reaction is enhanced through the use of magnesium and zinc ions. The change in absorbance at 405 nm due to the formation of p-NP is directly proportional to the ALP activity, since other reactants are present in non-rate limiting quantities and is measured using a bichromatic (405, 510 nm) rate technique. The ALPI CAL is a three (3) level, liquid calibrator. It is packaged as a kit of six vials, two vials per level (1, 2 and 3) with 1.0 mL per vial. The product matrix is a human serum albumin based product containing alkaline phosphatase from porcine kidney. Levels 2 and 3 contain alkaline phosphatase at the following concentrations. Level 1: 0 U/L Level 2: 500 U/L Level 3: 1000 U/L This product is sold separately from the Flex® reagent cartridge. Values are assigned to new lots from a Masterpool that is from an International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) reference.

No
The device description and performance studies detail a standard enzymatic assay and calibration method, with no mention of AI or ML techniques.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test and calibrator used for the quantitative measurement of alkaline phosphatase in human serum and plasma, which aids in the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. It does not provide therapy or treatment to a patient.

Yes

The ALPI method is explicitly stated to be "an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of alkaline phosphatase in human serum and plasma." It also mentions that "Measurements of alkaline phosphatase or its isoenzymes are used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, bone, parathyroid, and intestinal diseases." This clearly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemical assay and a liquid calibrator, both of which are physical components used in an in vitro diagnostic test. It does not describe software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states "The ALPI method is an in vitro diagnostic test..." and "ALPI CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product...". It also describes the purpose of the test as being used in the "diagnosis and treatment" of various diseases.
  • Device Description: The description details a method for measuring a substance (alkaline phosphatase) in human serum and plasma, which are biological samples. It also describes a calibrator used with this method.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes various performance studies (Method Comparison, Serum/Plasma Comparison, Reference Interval, Precision, Linearity, Analytical Specificity/Interferences, Limit of Blank, Limit of Determination and Limit of Quantitation) which are typical for demonstrating the analytical performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices (K991576 ADVIA® Chemistry Alkaline Phosphatase AMP Method and K061818 Dimension Vista® Alkaline Phosphatase Calibrator) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used in the regulatory submission process for new IVDs.

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

Precision testing was performed in accordance with CLSI EPS-A2 Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Samples consisted of three levels of Bio-Rad® Multiqual Assayed Quality Controls and two serum pools. Testing was performed over 20 days, two separate runs with two test samples for each test material. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate the data consistent with the recommendations of EP5-A2. The data are summarized in the following table:

Linearity

The linear range was determined according to CLSI EP-6A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; A Statistical Approved Guideline. Based on the results of this testing and the Limit of Detection testing on the Dimension® clinical chemistry analyzer, the analytical measurement range was determined to be 10 - 1000 U/L.

Image /page/5/Figure/2 description: The image shows a scatter plot titled "DM ALPI Linearity: Observed vs Expected". The x-axis is labeled "Expected ALP Value (U/L)" ranging from 0 to 1400, and the y-axis is labeled "Observed ALP Value (U/L)" ranging from 0 to 1400. A dashed line of best fit is plotted through the data points, and the equation of the line is given as y = 0.9868x + 9.7726, with an R-squared value of 0.9992 and a sample size of n = 9.

Analytical Specificity/Interferences

The ALPI method was evaluated for interference according to CLSI EP7-A2 Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Bias is the difference in the results between the control sample (without the interferent) and the test sample (contains the interferent) expressed in percent. Bias exceeding 10% is considered interference.
