Intended Use
The GEM® Premier 4000 is a portable critical care system for use by health care professionals to rapidly analyze whole blood samples at the point of health care delivery in a clinical setting and in a central laboratory. The instrument provides quantitative measurements of pH, pCQ2, pO2, sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium, glucose, lactate, hematocrit, total bilirubin and CO-Oximetry (tHb. OHb. COHb, MetHb, HHb) parameters. Total bilirubin can also be quantitated from heparinized plasma samples when analyzed in the tBili/CO-Ox mode. These parameters, along with derived parameters, aid in the diagnosis of a patient's acid/base status, electrolyte and metabolite balance and oxygen delivery capacity. Total bilirubin measurements are used in the diagnosis and management of biliary tract obstructions. Iiver disease and various hemolytic diseases and disorders involving the metabolism of bilirubin. In neonates. the level of total bilirubin is used to aid in assessing the risk of kernicterus. Intelligent Quality Management (iQM) is used as the quality control and assessment system for the GEM Premier 4000 system. iQM is an active quality process control program designed to provide continuous monitoring of the analytical process with real-time, automatic error detection, automatic correction of the system and automatic documentation of all corrective actions, replacing the use of traditional external quality controls. Facilities should follow local, state and federal regulatory guidelines to ensure that a total quality management system is followed. As part of this program, GEM CVP (Calibration Valuation Product) with CO-Ox, GEM CVP tBili and GEM CVP Hematocrit are external solutions intended to complete the calibration process and final accuracy assessment of the iQM cartridge calibration following warm-up. The reported values for GEM CVP (two levels for pH, blood gases, electrolytes, total bilirubin, CO-Oximetry and hematocrit) must meet IL's specifications before the iQM cartridge can be used for patient sample measurements. Once the cartridge calibration is verified, the internal iQM program monitors the status of the system during the cartridge use life.

No
The document describes an "Intelligent Quality Management (iQM)" system, but the description focuses on automated process control, error detection, and correction based on predefined parameters and calibrations, not on learning from data or adapting its behavior in a way characteristic of AI/ML. The software updates mentioned are related to remote service and support functionalities. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test sets.

No
The device is an analytical system designed to measure various blood parameters, aiding in diagnosis and management, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device provides measurements that "aid in the diagnosis of a patient's acid/base status, electrolyte and metabolite balance and oxygen delivery capacity" and that "Total bilirubin measurements are used in the diagnosis and management of biliary tract obstructions, liver disease and various hemolytic diseases and disorders involving the metabolism of bilirubin," and "In neonates, the level of total bilirubin is used to aid in assessing the risk of kernicterus." These phrases clearly indicate its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "portable critical care system" and an "instrument" that analyzes blood samples, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device. The software updates mentioned are for remote service and support functionalities of the existing hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Analyzes biological samples: The device analyzes whole blood and heparinized plasma samples.
  • Provides quantitative measurements: It provides quantitative measurements of various parameters (pH, blood gases, electrolytes, metabolites, hematocrit, total bilirubin, and CO-Oximetry).
  • Aids in diagnosis and management: The intended use explicitly states that these parameters "aid in the diagnosis of a patient's acid/base status, electrolyte and metabolite balance and oxygen delivery capacity" and that total bilirubin measurements are used "in the diagnosis and management of biliary tract obstructions, liver disease and various hemolytic diseases and disorders involving the metabolism of bilirubin." It also mentions aiding in assessing the risk of kernicterus in neonates.
  • Used in a clinical setting and central laboratory: The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings and central laboratories, which are typical environments for IVD testing.

The definition of an IVD is a medical device that is used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. The GEM Premier 4000 clearly fits this definition.

GEM® Premier 4000

Indications for Use (Describe)

The GEM® Premier 4000 is a portable critical care system for use by health care professionals to rapidly analyze whole blood samples at the point of health care delivery in a clinical setting and in a central laboratory. The instrument provides quantitative measurements of pH, pCO2, sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium, glucose, lactate, hematocrit, total bilirubin and CO-Oximetry (tHb, 02Hb, COHb, MctHb, HHb) parameters. Total bilirubin can also be quantitated from heparinized plasma samples when analyzed in the tBili/CO-Ox mode. These parameters, along with derived parameters, aid in the diagnosis of a patient's acid/base status, electrolyte and metabolite balance and oxygen delivery capacity. Total bilirubin measurements are used in the diagnosis and management of biliary tract obstructions, liver disease and various hemolytic diseases and disorders involving the metabolism of bilirubin. In neonates, the level of total bilirubin is used to aid in assessing the risk of kernicterus.

Intelligent Quality Management (iQM) is used as the quality control and assessment system for the GEM Premier 4000 system. iQM is an active quality process control program designed to provide continuous monitoring of the analytical process with real-time, automatic error detection, automatic correction of the system and automatic documentation of all corrective actions, replacing the use of traditional external quality controls. Facilities should follow local, state and federal regulatory guidelines to ensure that a total quality management system is followed.

As part of this program, GEM CV.P (Calibration Valuation Product) with CO-Ox, GEM CVP tBili and GEM CVP Hematocrit are external solutions intended to complete the calibration process and final accuracy assessment of the iQM cartridge callbration following warm-up. The reported values for GEM CVP (two levels for pH, blood gases, electrolytes, metabolites, total bilirubin. CO-Oximetry and hematocrit) must meet IL's specifications before the iQM cartridge can be used for patient sample measurements. Once the cartridge calibration is verified, the internal iQM program monitors the status of the system during the cartridge use life.
