The device description and performance studies focus on standard chemical assay principles and statistical analysis of quantitative results, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used for the quantitative measurement of total bilirubin, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions, rather than directly providing therapy.
Yes
The device aids in the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders, including liver, hematological, and metabolic disorders, and helps indicate the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy in neonates.
No
The device is a reagent kit used on a specific hardware system (ARCHITECT c8000 System) for a chemical assay. It involves physical reagents and a measurement process, not solely software functionality.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the assay is used for the "quantitation of total bilirubin in human serum or plasma" and that the measurement is used in the "diagnosis and treatment of liver, hematological and metabolic disorders." This clearly indicates the device is intended for use in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Description: The description details the reagents used and the principle of the procedure, which involves a chemical reaction with a human specimen (serum or plasma) to measure an analyte (bilirubin). This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The document describes various performance studies conducted using human specimens (serum and plasma) to evaluate the device's analytical performance (LOB, LOD, LOQ, Linearity, Precision, Interference, Method Comparison, Reference Range, etc.). These types of studies are standard for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability for clinical use.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K121985) and the name "Total Bilirubin" strongly suggests that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device, which is a common pathway for regulatory clearance of new IVDs.
All these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Total Bilirubin assay is used for the quantitation of total bilirubin in human serum or plasma of adults and neonates on the ARCHITECT c8000 System.
Measurement of total bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal destruction of red blood cells, is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hematological and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block. A bilirubin (total and unbound) in the neonate test system is a device intended to measure the levels of bilirubin (total and unbound) in the blood (serum) of newborn infants to aid in indicating the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy (kernicterus).

Device Description
The Total Bilirubin reagent kit contains Reagent 1 (R1) and Reagent 2 (R2). Reagent 1 is composed of Surfactants (10.57%) and HCl (6.563 g/L). Reagent 2 is composed of 2, 4-dichloroaniline (0.81 g/L), HCl (5.563 g/L), Sodium nitrite (0.345 g/L), and Surfactant (1.96%). The kit comes in two sizes: 7P32-21 with 10 x 53 mL of R1 and 10 x 17 mL of R2, estimated for 2750 tests; and 7P32-41 with 8 x 93 mL of R1 and 8 x 28 mL of R2, estimated for 3840 tests.
Principles of the Procedure: Total (conjugated and unconjugated) bilirubin couples with a diazo reagent in the presence of a surfactant to form azobilirubin. The diazo reaction is accelerated by the addition of surfactant as a solubilizing agent. The increase in absorbance at 548 nm due to azobilirubin is directly proportional to the total bilirubin concentration. The detection of analyte is via end-point colorimetric method.

- Three combined bilirubin pools were prepared:
- Pool 1: 75% conjugated bilirubin stock / 25% unconjugated bilirubin stock
- Pool 2: 50% conjugated bilirubin stock / 50% unconjugated bilirubin stock

- Levels 1 through 12 for each sample set were tested in a random order in a minimum of 4 replicates using 2 lots reagents and 1 lot each of commercially available calibrators and controls on 1 ARCHITECT c8000 instrument. All levels in a sample set were tested in the same run.
Within-Laboratory Precision (20-Day):
Precision was evaluated using the following Bio-Rad serum based control materials: Level 1 (Bio-Rad Lyphochek Unassayed Chemistry Control Level 1), Level 2 (Bio-Rad Lyphochek Unassayed Chemistry Control Level 2), Level 3 (Bio-Rad Liquichek Pediatric Control Level 1), Level 4 (Bio-Rad Liquichek Pediatric Control Level 2).
- The levels were tested in a minimum of 2 replicates 2 times per day (separated by a minimum of 2 hours) for a total of 20 testing days.

- Fresh, adult patient serum samples from a clinically healthy population of non-distinguished adult male and female patients were obtained.
- The samples were stored at 2 to 8 degrees C and protected from light when not in use. The samples were up to 3 days old when received at the testing site. The samples were tested on the day they were received at the testing site.
- The samples were tested in a replicate of 1 using 1 lot of reagents and 1 lot each of commercially available calibrators and controls on 1 ARCHITECT c8000 instrument. A total of 40 samples (10%) were evaluated.
Automated Dilution Protocol versus Manual Dilution Procedure:
- Fresh serum specimens were obtained and, if necessary, pooled to create test samples at the following target total bilirubin concentrations: 34, 32, 30, 28, 26, and 24 mg/dL.
- The samples were divided into 3 portions. One portion of each sample was tested using the 1:5 and 1:10 autodilution protocols. Two portions were manually diluted using 0.85% saline solution, one at 1:5 and the other at 1:10.
- All portions were tested in replicates of 6 in the same run as the autodiluted samples using 1 lot of reagents on one ARCHITECT c8000 System.
Specimen Tube Type (Matrix Equivalence):
The study was performed based on guidance from CLSI document EP9-A3 and CLSI document GP34-A.
- The study control tube type was the serum plastic tube.
- The following tubes types were under evaluation: serum with gel separator, K2 EDTA plasma (without gel separator), lithium heparin plasma (without gel separator), lithium heparin plasma with gel separator, and sodium heparin plasma (without gel separator).
- Fresh or frozen sample sets were obtained that included the control tube type and at least 1 tube type under evaluation.

The study was performed based on guidance from CLSI document EP09-A2-IR. A total of 124 adult patient specimens and 64 neonatal patient specimens were evaluated with the candidate Total Bilirubin assay and the predicate Total Bilirubin (K121985) assay. A total of 4 adult and 4 neonate patient samples were spiked. Each sample was tested using 2 lots each of the candidate Total Bilirubin assay and the predicate Total Bilirubin (K121985) reagents and 1 lot each of commercially available calibrators and controls. Testing was performed in duplicate on the candidate Total Bilirubin assay and in duplicate on the predicate Total Bilirubin assay over 5 separate days on 1 ARCHITECT c 8000 System.
