Intended Use
The CRE2 method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of creatinine in human serum, plasma, and urine on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal disease, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.
Device Description
The CRE2 method uses a modified kinetic Jaffe technique. In the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, picrate reacts with creatinine to form a red chromophore. The rate of increasing absorbance at 510 nm due to the formation of this chromophore is directly proportional to the creatinine concentration in the sample and is measured using a bichromatic (510, 600nm) rate technique. Bilirubin is oxidized by potassium ferricyanide to prevent interference.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a standard chemical reaction (modified kinetic Jaffe technique) and its measurement using a bichromatic rate technique. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational methods beyond standard data analysis for performance evaluation.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test used for the quantitative measurement of creatinine, which aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of renal diseases but does not directly treat or prevent them.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The CRE2 method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of creatinine... Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal disease, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes." This directly indicates its role in diagnosis.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic test that uses a chemical reaction and a clinical chemistry system (hardware) to measure creatinine. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The CRE2 method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of creatinine in human serum, plasma, and urine..." This directly identifies the device as an IVD.
  • Nature of the Test: The device performs a chemical analysis of biological samples (serum, plasma, and urine) outside of the body ("in vitro") to provide diagnostic information (creatinine levels for diagnosis and treatment of renal disease, monitoring dialysis, etc.). This is the core function of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a chemical reaction and measurement process applied to the sample, which is characteristic of an in vitro test.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes various performance studies (Method Comparison, Precision, Limit of Detection, Linearity, Analytical Specificity, etc.) that are standard for evaluating the performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" with a K number (K925668) indicates that this device is being compared to a previously cleared medical device, which is a common process for IVDs seeking regulatory clearance.

All of these points strongly support the classification of this device as an In Vitro Diagnostic.

5.12 Performance Characteristics

The following data represent typical method performance. These data were collected on the Dimension EXL 200 integrated chemistry system.

5.12.1 Method Comparison

The predicate device selected for the method comparison was the Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA) cleared under K925668. Remnant de-identified serum samples were tested. No patient history information was obtained on these samples. Inclusion/exclusion data criteria are not applicable. All of the samples were native.

These studies were conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D orqanization personnel. The personnel conducting the study were laboratory technicians with training similar to personnel who would conduct the tests in a hospital laboratory setting. They were trained on the operation of both the device and the predicate device. A split sample method comparison, following EP09-A2, demonstrated good agreement between the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge and the predicate Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA) with serum patient samples.

One hundred ninety one serum patient samples across the assay range were tested on the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge and the Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA). In a second study, 113 urine samples were tested on the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge and the Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA). The results across the full assay range were analyzed by linear regression. Although the samples were tested in duplicate, only the first result was used for the analvsis.

The model equation for the regression statistics is: [results for Dimension® CRE2 Flex® reagent cartridge] = slope x [comparative method results] + intercept.

An additional study was completed comparing the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge for the IDMS reference method. Remnant de-identified serum samples were tested. No patient history information was obtained on these samples. Inclusion/exclusion data criteria are not applicable. All of the samples were native.

Forty eight patient samples were tested on the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge and the IDMS reference method. The results were analyzed by linear regression. Although the samples were tested in duplicate, only the first result was used for the analysis.

5.12.2 Serum Plasma Equivalency

Serum and lithium heparin plasma equivalency was demonstrated for the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge. Fifty six matched serum and lithium heparin plasma samples were tested using the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge. The table below summarizes the linear regression statistics.

One replicate of each sample was processed. All samples in the study were fresh and never frozen. The eight spiked sample sets were prepared by spiking equal amounts of purified creatinine into the matched serum and lithium heparin plasma samples.

5.12.3 Precision

Precision testing was performed in accordance with CLSI EP05-A2 Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods: Approved Guideline ~ Second Edition. Samples consisted of two (2) serum pools, three (3) levels of BioRad Multiqual material, two (levels) of BioRad Liguicheck material and two (2) urine pools. Testing was performed over twenty (20) days, two (2) 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 EP05-A2. The data are summarized in the following table:

5.12.5 Limit of Quantitation

The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge for serum and plasma is 0.15 mg/dL and based on allowable total error of 0.15 mg/dL, determined consistent with CLSI Guideline EP17-A2.

The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge for urine is 5.00 mg/dL and based on allowable total error of 3.00 mg/dL, determined consistent with CLSI Guideline EP17-A2.

5.12.6 Linearity (Measurement Range)

Linearity was evaluated for serum and urine samples by using 12 equally spaced samples which spanned the assay range. Each was prepared by mixing high and low creatinine concentration samples across the measurement range as described in CLSI Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedure (EP06-A).

5.13 Analytical Specificity

5.13.1 Non-interfering Substances

CLSI EP7A2 was followed for the interference testing. The interference study was conducted using a "paired difference worst case scenario" approach where these compounds were spiked into fresh sample pools containing either low or high levels of creatinine analyte in both serum pools and urine pools.

5.13.2 Interfering Substances

The CRE2 method was evaluated for interference according to CLSI EP7-A2. 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. Dilution studies were conducted to determine the level at which the spiked substance no longer displayed significant interference. These studies were conducted at

12

two Creatinine analyte concentrations, if both sample pools show significant interference. This study was conducted as needed for both serum pools and urine pools.
