Intended Use
The ACE Cholesterol Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of cholesterol concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The ACE HDL-C Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Lipoprotein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The ACE LDL-C Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Lipoprotein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The ACE Triglycerides Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of triglyceride concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma using the ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Triglyceride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, other diseases involving lipid metabolism or various endocrine disorders.

Device Description
The ACE Cholesterol Reagent is composed of a single reagent bottle. The reagent contains 4-aminoantipyrine, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, cholesterol oxidase, cholesterol esterase and peroxidase. The HDL-C Reagent assay utilizes two reagent bottles, the second containing a unique detergent. This detergent solubilizes only the HDL lipoprotein particles, thus releasing HDL cholesterol to react with the cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase, in the presence of a chromogen to produce color. The detergent also inhibits the reaction of the cholesterol enzymes with LDL, VLDL and chylomicron lipoproteins by adsorbing to their surfaces. The amount of chromogen formed, determined by measuring the increase in absorbance bichromatically at 592/692 nm, is directly proportional to the HDL cholesterol concentration in the sample. In the ACE LDL-C Reagent assay, detergent 1 solubilizes non-LDL lipoprotein particles (HDL, VLDL and chylomicrons) and releases cholesterol. The cholesterol is consumed by cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase in a non-color forming reaction. In a second reaction, detergent 2 solublizes the remaining LDL particles and forms peroxide, via the enzymes cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase. The peroxide, in the presence of peroxidase and two peroxidase substrates, 4-aminoantipyrine and DSBmT, results in a purple-red color. The amount of color formed, determined by measuring the increase in absorbance bichromatically at 544/692 nm, is directly proportional to the LDL cholesterol concentration in the sample. In the ACE Triglycerides Reagent assay, triglycerides in serum are hydrolyzed by lipase to form glycerol and free fatty acids. In the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and glycerol kinase, the glycerol is converted to glycerol-1-phosphate and the ATP to adenosine diphosphate. Glycerol-1-phosphate is oxidized by glycerol phosphate oxidase to yield hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide then acts to oxidatively couple p-chlorophenol and 4-aminoantipyrine in a reaction catalyzed by peroxidase, producing a red colored quinoneimine complex which absorbs strongly at 505 nm. The amount of chromogen formed, determined by measuring the increase in absorbance bichromatically at 505 nm/692 nm, is directly proportional to the triglycerides concentration in the sample.

Device Description

In the ACE Cholesterol Reagent assay, cholesterol esters in serum are completely hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to free cholesterol and free fatty acids. The cholesterol liberated by the esterase, plus any endogenous free cholesterol, are both oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to yield hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide then acts to oxidatively couple p-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-amin-oantipyrine in a reaction catalyzed by peroxidase, producing a red colored quinoneimine complex which absorbs strongly at 505 nm. The amount of chromogen formed, determined by measuring the increase in absorbance, bichromatically at 505 nm/647 nm, is directly proportional to the cholesterol concentration in the sample.

The HDL-C Reagent assay utilizes two reagent bottles, the second containing a unique detergent. This detergent solubilizes only the HDL lipoprotein particles, thus releasing HDL cholesterol to react with the cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase, in the presence of a chromogen to produce color. The detergent also inhibits the reaction of the cholesterol enzymes with LDL, VLDL and chylomicron lipoproteins by adsorbing to their surfaces. The amount of chromogen formed, determined by measuring the increase in absorbance bichromatically at 592/692 nm, is directly proportional to the HDL cholesterol concentration in the sample.

Dated: September 6, 2012

Received: September 7, 2012

Dear Dr. Katz:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
