Intended Use
The ABL90 FLEX analyzer is a portable, automated analyzer that measures pH, blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, and oximetry in heparinised whole blood. The ABL90 FLEX analyzer is intended for use by trained technologists, nurses, physicians and therapists. It is intended for use in a laboratory environment, near patient or point-of-care setting. These tests are only performed under a physician's order. pH, pO2 and pCO2: pH, pCO2 and pO2 measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening acid-base disturbances. Potassium (cK*): potassium measurements are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of disease conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels. Sodium (cNa*): sodium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism, diabetes insipidus, adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease, dehydration, inappropriate antidiuretic secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance. Calcium (cCa2+): calcium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany. Chloride (cCl¯): chloride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders such a cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis. Glucose (cGlu): glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma. Lactate (cLac): The lactate measurements measure the concentration of lactate in plasma. Lactate measurements are used to evaluate the acid-base status and are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lactic acidosis (abnormally high acidity of the blood.) Total Hemoglobin (ctHb): total hemoglobin measurements are used to measure the hemoglobin content of whole blood for the detection of anemia. sO2: oxygen saturation, more specifically the ratio between the concentration of oxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin plus reduced hemoglobin. FO2Hb: oxyhemoglobin as a fraction of total hemoglobin. FCOHb: carboxyhemoglobin measurements are used to determine the carboxyhemoglobin content of human blood as an aid in the diagnosis of carbon monoxide poisoning. FMetHb: methemoglobin as a fraction of total hemoglobin. FHHb: reduced hemoglobin as a fraction of total hemoglobin. Fraction of Fetal Hemoglobin (FHbF): FHbF indicates the amount of fetal hemoglobin. FHbF is seldom used clinically.
Device Description
The ABL90 FLEX is a portable, automated system intended for in vitro testing of samples of whole blood for the parameters pH, pO2 , pCO2, potassium, sodium, calcium, chloride, glucose, lactate, and co-oximetry parameters (total hemoglobin, oxygen saturation, and the hemoglobin fractions FO2Hb, FCOHb, F MetHb, FHHb and FHbF). The labelling and the software has been modified to assure that the Operator does not use qlucose results obtained from samples with a pO2 level below 25 mmHg.

No
The document describes a standard automated blood gas analyzer and its performance studies. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The modification mentioned is a simple rule-based suppression of glucose results based on a pO2 threshold, which is not indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device is an analyzer that measures various parameters in blood for diagnostic purposes; it does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes
The device measures several parameters (pH, blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, and oximetry) in whole blood, and the intended use states that these measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening acid-base disturbances" and various other disease conditions. This directly points to its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "portable, automated system intended for in vitro testing of samples of whole blood" and measures various parameters using physical samples. While it has software, it is integrated into a hardware analyzer.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device "measures pH, blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, and oximetry in heparinised whole blood." These are all measurements performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions.
  • Device Description: The device description confirms it is "intended for in vitro testing of samples of whole blood".
  • Parameters Measured: The list of parameters measured (pH, blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, and oximetry) are all common diagnostic tests performed on blood samples.
  • Clinical Significance: The intended use section details the clinical significance of each parameter, linking the measurements to the diagnosis and treatment of specific diseases and conditions.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ABL90 FLEX analyzer clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
