Measurements of the levels of bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal and abnormal destruction of red blood cells, is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematological and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The ACE Total Bilirubin Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of total bilirubin concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma using the ACE, ACE Alera and ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry System. Measurements of the levels of bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal and abnormal destruction of red blood cells, is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematological and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The ACE Magnesium Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of magnesium in serum and lithium heparin plasma using the ACE, ACE Alera and ACE Axcel Clinical Chemistry Systems.

This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Description
In the ACE Carbon Dioxide (CO2-LC) Reagent assay, serum carbon dioxide (in the form of bicarbonate) reacts with phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and magnesium to yield oxaloacetic acid and phosphate. In the presence of malate dehydrogenase, the reduced cofactor is oxidized by oxaloacetic acid. The reduced cofactor absorbs strongly at 408 nm whereas its oxidized form does not. The rate of decrease in absorbance, monitored bichromatically at 408 nm/692 nm, is proportional to the carbon dioxide content of the sample. In the ACE Direct Bilirubin Reagent assay, sodium nitrite added to sulfanilic acid forms diazotized sulfanilic acid. Bilirubin glucuronide in serum reacts with diazotized sulfanilic acid to form azobilirubin, which absorbs strongly at 554 nm. The increase in absorbance, measured bichromatically at 554 nm/692 nm, one minute after sample addition, is directly proportional to the direct bilirubin concentration. In the ACE Total Bilirubin Reagent assay, sodium nitrite, when added to sulfanilic acid, forms diazotized sulfanilic acid. Bilirubin in serum reacts with diazotized sulfanilic acid to form azobilirubin, which absorbs strongly at 554 nm. The inclusion of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the reagent as an accelerator causes both direct and indirect bilirubin to react rapidly. The increase in absorbance, measured bichromatically at 554 nm/692 nm, is directly proportional to the total bilirubin concentration in the sample. Magnesium ions in serum react with Xylidyl blue-1 in an alkaline medium to produce a red complex which is measured bichromatically at 525 nm/692 nm. The intensity of color produced is directly proportional to the magnesium concentration in the sample. EGTA prevents calcium interference by preferential chelation of calcium present in the sample. A surfactant system is included to remove protein interference.
More Information

No
The document describes chemical reagents and their use in clinical chemistry systems for quantitative determination of analytes. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The analysis is based on chemical reactions and absorbance measurements.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent used to measure concentrations of substances in serum and plasma for diagnostic purposes, not for treating a condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the various reagents are used for the quantitative determination of substances like carbon dioxide, bilirubin, and magnesium, and that these measurements "are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous potentially serious disorders" for various conditions. The phrase "For in vitro diagnostic use only" is also present, which signifies its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device described is a reagent kit intended for use with specific clinical chemistry systems (hardware). It is an in vitro diagnostic product, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states that the reagents are "intended for the quantitative determination of carbon dioxide concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma," "intended for the quantitative determination of direct bilirubin concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma," "intended for the quantitative determination of total bilirubin concentration in serum and lithium heparin plasma," and "intended for the quantitative determination of magnesium in serum and lithium heparin plasma." It also states that these measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous potentially serious disorders." This clearly indicates that the reagents are used to test samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • "For in vitro diagnostic use only": This phrase is explicitly stated for each reagent, which is a common and definitive indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details how the reagents interact with the sample (serum and plasma) to produce a measurable result, which is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended users are "clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories," which are settings where in vitro diagnostic testing is performed.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies including precision and method comparison, which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability.
  • Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices with K numbers (K931786) indicates that these reagents are being compared to previously cleared IVD devices.

All of these factors strongly support the classification of these reagents as In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
