The S TEST Reagent Cartridge TP is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. Total protein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases involving the liver, kidney, or bone marrow as well as other metabolic or nutritional disorders. The S TEST Reagent Cartridge Albumin (ALB) is intended for the quantitative determination of ALB in serum, lithium heparinized plasma, K3 EDTA plasma and sodium citrate plasma using the HITACHI Clinical Analyzer E40. The S TEST Reagent Cartridge ALB is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. 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) × 28 mm (D) × 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 Cartridges TP and ALB. Chemistry reactions: (TP) Proteins in samples react with the biuret reagent to form a purplered complex. The concentration of total protein can be determined by measuring the absorbance of the purple-red substance. (ALB) Albumin in the sample combines with bromcresol green to form a blue-green dye conjugate. The albumin concentration is directly proportional to the color intensity and can be determined photometrically by measuring the absorbance of this resulting blue-green color.
More Information

No
The description details a standard wet chemistry analyzer and reagent cartridges, with no mention of AI or ML in the device operation, data analysis, or intended use. The performance studies are based on traditional analytical methods.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test system designed for quantitative determination of total protein and albumin in blood samples, which aids in diagnosis and monitoring but does not provide direct therapy to a patient.

Yes

The document explicitly states that the S TEST Reagent Cartridge TP and ALB are "For in vitro diagnostic use only." It also details their use in measuring total protein and albumin in biological samples, which "are used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases."

No

The device described is a reagent cartridge used with a physical clinical analyzer, which is a hardware system. The submission is for the reagent cartridges themselves, which are physical components containing chemical reagents.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "For in vitro diagnostic use only."
  • Intended Use: The device is intended for the quantitative determination of Total Protein (TP) and Albumin (ALB) in human biological samples (serum and plasma). These measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.
  • Device Description: The device is a wet chemistry system that analyzes samples and reagents to determine the concentration of analytes. This is a typical function of an IVD.
  • Chemistry Reactions: The description of the chemical reactions used to measure TP and ALB confirms that the device is performing in vitro tests on biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The document details performance studies (analytical sensitivity, linearity, precision, interference testing, method comparisons, matrices comparisons) which are standard for demonstrating the analytical performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices (K100853 Cobas c systems TP2 and ALB2) which are also IVDs further supports that this device falls under the IVD category.

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

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 E40 Clinical Analyzer with S TEST Reagent Cartridges TP and ALB 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 TP or ALB. Each sample was assayed six times per day for five days, reporting 30 results per level. Precision estimates for total precision were as follows:

| Site # | Sample | Mean
(g/dL) | Within-run Precision | | Total Precision | |
|--------|--------|----------------|----------------------|------|-----------------|------|

For the external method comparison studies, a series of approximately 50 - 80 serum specimens with TP values ranging from 0.6 to 10.9 g/dL, and ALB values ranging from 0.5 to 6.7 g/dL, were assayed on the Hitachi E40 Clinical Analyzer at three sites using S TEST Reagent Cartridges TP and ALB (y) and a comparative method as the reference method (x). Deming regression analyses yielded the following results:
