Intended Use
The i-STAT Alinity System with i-STAT Sodium test is intended for use or clinical laboratory settings. The i-STAT Alinity System with Sodium test is intended for the quantitative measurement of sodium in arterial and venous whole blood. Sodium measurements are used for monitoring electrolyte imbalances. For in vitro diagnostic use.
Device Description
The i-STAT Alinity System is a handheld, in vitro diagnostic analytical device designed to run i-STAT test cartridges. The system is designed for use at or near point of patient care, by trained medical professionals and is for prescription use only and is for use in point of care and laboratory settings. The i-STAT Alinity System is comprised of the instrument, rechargeable battery, base station, electronic simulator, control material, printer and i-STAT test cartridges. The i-STAT Alinity Instrument features a barcode scanner, user interface with touch screen display and wireless capability. The instrument reports quantitative results within approximately 2 minutes. The i-STAT cartridge contains test reagents which are located on the biosensors chips. The instrument interacts with the cartridge to move fluid across the biosensors and generate a quantitative result. Cartridges require two to three drops of whole blood which are typically applied to the cartridge using a syringe.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

a. Precision

  • Precision 20 days (aqueous materials): Evaluated using 5 levels of aqueous materials with 10 instruments and one cartridge lot over 20 days at one site. Results shown in Table 1.
  • Precision (whole blood): Evaluated using venous whole blood (native or altered) samples with one cartridge lot across 3 point of care sites. At each site, each sample was tested 3 times on each of 7 i-STAT Alinity Instruments (total of 21 test results per sample). The largest estimate of precision was 0.50 mmol/L as shown in Table 2.

b. Linearity
Study based on CLSI EP06-A. Linearity of the i-STAT Sodium Test was evaluated on i-STAT Alinity Instruments by preparing a series of sodium concentrations in whole blood. The best fitting regression model was a second order model, and non-linearity ranged from -0.40 to 0.66 mmol/L. Linearity was demonstrated over the reportable range (100 - 180 mmol/L).

c. Recovery
Recovery was evaluated on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument by creating a series of sodium concentration levels in whole blood, measuring their expected value on the predicate, and determining recovery bias and % recovery. The % recovery ranged from 99.9% to 100.6%.

d. Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)
Study based on CLSI EP17-A2. LoQ was evaluated using whole blood altered to low sodium concentrations ( 4 mmol/L. Non-interfering compounds are shown in Table 3. Interfering compounds (Bromide above 16.65 mmol/L and Sodium thiosulfate above 3.57 mmol/L) are shown in Table 4.

f. Anticoagulant Study
Sample type comparison study performed using 40 blood samples (100 to 180 mmol/L). Comparator was heparinized whole blood, and test condition was non-anticoagulated whole blood. Deming regression result was a slope of 1.00 and a correlation coefficient of 1.00.

g. Method Comparison with Predicate Device
Compared clinical results of the i-STAT Sodium Test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument to the i-STAT Sodium Test performance on the i-STAT 1 Wireless Analyzer (predicate). Conducted across 4 point of care sites. Included 174 subjects using whole blood (venous or arterial) samples covering the measuring range 100 to 180 mmol/L. Weighted Deming regression for all 4 sites combined had a regression slope of 1.0 and correlation coefficient of 0.999.

Key results: Analytical and clinical studies have shown the i-STAT Alinity System to be safe and effective for its intended use, demonstrating performance substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

b. Linearity

The study was designed based on CLSI EP06-A: Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures. The linearity of the i-STAT Sodium Test was evaluated on the i-STAT Alinity Instruments by preparing a series of sodium concentration levels in whole blood that spanned the reportable range of the test. The best fitting regression model was a second order model, and the non-linearity ranged from -0.40 to 0.66 mmol/L. The linearity of the i-STAT Sodium Testused with the i-STAT Alinity Instruments was demonstrated over the reportable range (100 - 180 mmol/L).

c. Recovery

The recovery of the i-STAT Sodium test was evaluated on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument by creating a series of sodium concentration levels in whole blood, measuring their expected value on the predicate and determining the recovery bias and % recovery. The % recovery ranged from 99.9% to 100.6%.

d. Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)

The study was based on the CLSI EP17-A2: Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures. The LoQ of the i-STAT Sodium Test was evaluated on the i-STAT Alinity Instruments using whole blood that was altered to low sodium concentrations ( 4 mmol/L. Compounds that do not interfere with the i-STAT Sodium Test are shown in Table 3; those compounds that do interfere are shown in Table 4.

A sodium thiosulfate concentration above 3.57 mmol/L mav give a falsely increased i-STAT Sodium Test result of more than 4 mmol/L.

f. Anticoagulant Study

The sample type comparison study was performed using the i-STAT Sodium Test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument and 40 blood samples ranging from 100 to 180 mmol/L. The comparator condition for this study was heparinized whole blood and the test condition was non-anticoagulated whole blood. The Deming regression result was a slope of 1.00 and a correlation coefficient of 1.00.

g. Method Comparison with Predicate Device

The method comparison study compared the clinical results of the i-STAT Sodium Test on the i-STAT Alinity Instrument to the i-STAT Sodium Test performance on the i-STAT 1 Wireless Analyzer (predicate). This study was conducted across 4 point of care sites. The study included 174 subjects using whole blood (venous or arterial) samples covering the measuring range 100 to 180 mmol/L. The Weighted Deming regression for all 4 sites combined had a regression slope of 1.0 and correlation coefficient of 0.999.

8. Conclusion

Analytical and clinical studies have shown the i-STAT Alinity System to be safe and effective for its intended use. The results of these studies demonstrate that performance of the i-STAT Alinity System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
