The Stat Profile® Prime Plus Analyzer System is indicated for use by healthcare professionals in clinical laboratory settings and for point-of-care usage for quantitative determination of Hematocrit, Oxygen Saturation, Total Hemoglobin, Oxyhemoglobin, Carboxyhemoglobin, Methemoglobin, and Deoxyhemoglobin in heparinized arterial and venous whole blood.
The Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer System is a low cost, low maintenance analyzer for hospital laboratory and point-of-care settings. It consists of the analyzer, sensor cartridges, and thermal paper for an onboard printer. Optionally, it provides for reading of barcode labels (such as operator badges and data sheets).
The Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer has slots to accommodate two sensor cartridges (Primary and Auxiliary). The analyzer will determine the configuration of the system by detecting which sensor cards are installed.
As with the predicate, the Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer is a blood gas, co-oximetry, electrolyte, chemistry, and hematology analyzer with an enhanced test menu and multiple quality control options. Both traditional internal and external quality control is available, as well as an on-board Quality Management System (QMS), and an electronic monitoring approach that insures the analyzer is working properly at all times.
The Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer accepts samples from syringes and open tubes. The minimum sample size for analysis is 135 µL.
Sample collection, preparation and application to the analyzer are the same as for the previously cleared predicate. The end user can select which analytes are to be tested in the panel.
The provided text describes the performance validation of the Stat Profile® Prime Plus Analyzer System, specifically focusing on its point-of-care (POC) capabilities and comparability to a predicate device. This is a medical device, not an AI/ML software. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/ML software development (e.g., number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC studies, training set details) are not applicable to this document.
However, I can extract information related to the device's acceptance criteria and how its performance was proven.
Here's the breakdown of the available information:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to the predicate device and by meeting established criteria for method comparison and imprecision, based on CLSI guidelines. The performance data is presented as method comparison statistics (slope, intercept, r-value) and total imprecision (SD, %CV).
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria thresholds for each parameter prior to the results. Instead, it presents the quantitative results from the study and concludes that these results "confirmed that the performance of the Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer System is substantially equivalent to that of the Nova Stat Profile pHOx Ultra Analyzer System (predicate device)."
Therefore, I will present the reported device performance, and the implicit acceptance can be inferred as meeting industry standards for substantial equivalence in medical devices of this type.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size:
- Method Comparison (POC vs. Lab):
- Hct: 417 samples
- SO2: 398 samples
- tHb: 416 samples
- O2Hb: 422 samples
- COHb: 425 samples
- MetHb: 437 samples
- HHb: 322 samples
- Total Imprecision Performance: 20 runs performed on 3 analyzers, using 3 levels of quality control/linearity materials.
- Within-Run Whole Blood Precision: Minimum of 2 operators per site across 3 POC sites (total 9 operators). Each precision run consisted of 10 replicate measurements using 7 different whole blood samples (5 native, 2 altered).
- Method Comparison (POC vs. Lab):
- Data Provenance: The study was conducted in the United States, across three Point-of-Care (POC) sites: a Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU), an Emergency Department (ED), and a Respiratory Therapy Lab (RT). The data utilized a mix of quality control materials and discarded blood gas specimens. This suggests prospective collection of real-world samples within a clinical setting.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- This device is a medical diagnostic instrument, not an AI/ML algorithm. Ground truth for the method comparison study was established by laboratory measurements (presumably using the established predicate device or a gold standard lab method) which the new device's results were compared against.
- The study involved "trained Healthcare Professionals" and "POC personnel". These personnel performed the tests on the new device. Their qualifications are described as "trained, qualified staff found in typical POC sites where blood gas analyzers are utilized," including Respiratory Care, Nursing, and Exercise Physiology personnel. No "experts" in the sense of adjudicating image interpretations are mentioned, as this is not an imaging AI.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable. This is a quantitative measurement device, not an interpretive one requiring expert adjudication. The comparison was quantitative against a reference method.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- Not applicable. This is a quantitative measurement device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would be evaluated for human reader improvement. The study compares the new device's performance to a predicate device and laboratory methods.
6. Standalone Performance
- Yes, effectively. The "Stat Profile® Prime Plus Analyzer System" provides quantitative measurements. The performance data presented (Method Comparison, Total Imprecision, Within-Run Whole Blood Precision) represents the standalone performance of the device in generating these measurements, compared against established laboratory methods or statistical precision targets. There is no "human-in-the-loop" performance as the human simply operates the device to obtain the measurement.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Comparative ("Reference") Method: For the method comparison study, the ground truth was the results obtained from analyses performed by "Lab" (laboratory reference methods, presumably the predicate device or another validated laboratory analyzer). This is a comparative ground truth against an established standard.
- Statistical Targets: For precision studies, the ground truth is implicitly defined by the acceptable statistical variance and bias from the mean of repeated measurements, often against known control material values.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This is a physical, chemical, and optical measurement device, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The device's measurement algorithms are fixed based on spectrophotometric and impedance principles.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for an AI/ML model for this device. The principles of measurement are based on established scientific methods (e.g., spectrophotometry and impedance) and not trained on data in the AI/ML sense.

It uses the same sensor technology and measurement algorithms, and the formulations of the internal and external controls and the calibration cartridge are the same for the tested parameters.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Principles of Measurement:
Oxygen Saturation:
Oxygen saturation (SQ2%) represents the percent of hemoglobin bound to oxygen, expressed as a fraction of the amount of hemoglobin capable of binding to oxygen (oxyhemoglobin plus deoxyhemoglobin). As the level of SQ2% changes within a blood sample, the color of the whole blood changes. Oxygen Saturation is determined by using a standard equation.
Hematocrit:
Hematocrit is defined as the percentage of red blood cells to the total blood volume and can be obtained by measuring electrical resistance of the blood sample. Two standard solutions are used to calibrate the hematocrit sensor and to obtain the slope. The analyzer the electrical resistance of the blood sample to obtain the hematocrit value. The hematocrit value obtained is corrected for the concentration of the sodium ion.
Total Hemoglobin:
Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Total Hemoglobin is the sum of all measured hemoglobin fractions expressed as the amount of hemoglobin in a specified volume of whole blood. Total Hemoglobin is calculated using a standard equation.
Oxyhemoglobin:
Oxyhemoglobin is the combined form of hemoglobin and oxygen is bound reversibly and is readily given up to the tissues because of the lower tissue oxygen tension. Conversely in the lungs, there is a higher oxygen tension and greater oxygen uptake by hemoglobin. The percentage of oxyhemoglobin is determined using a standard equation.
Carboxyhemoqlobin:
Carboxyhemoglobin is the combined form of carbon monoxide and hemoglobin. The affinity of hemoglobin for carbon monoxide is approximately 210 times greater than for oxygen. Because of this high affinity, inhalation of large amounts of carbon monoxide can lead to death if left undiagnosed. The percentage of carboxyhemoglobin is determined by using a standard equation.
Methemoglobin:
Methemoglobin is the form of hemoglobin in which the iron has been oxidized from the ferrous to the ferric state. Oxygen cannot bind with methemoglobin. Therefore, increased amounts can lead to cyanosis, tissue anoxia, and death. There are congenital and acquired forms of methemoglobinemia. The percentage of methemoglobin is determined by using a standard equation.
Deoxyhemoglobin:
Deoxyhemoglobin is the form of hemoglobin that is not combined with oxygen but can easily uptake oxygen in the lungs. The percentage of deoxyhemoglobin is determined by using a standard equation.
Summary of Performance Testing:
Bench testing was previously completed and summarized in K180186 to show that the Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate submission.
The bench testing included:
- Method Comparison Studies ●
- Precision/Reproducibility Within Run and Run to Run Studies ●
- Linearity Testing
- Specificity/Interference Testing
- Detection Limit ●
{7}------------------------------------------------
The results of that testing confirmed that the performance of the Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer System is substantially equivalent to that of the Nova Stat Profile pHOx Ultra Analyzer System (predicate device).
Summary of Point-of-Care Testing:
A Point-of-Care (POC) study was conducted to show that the Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate submission. The testing compared results obtained by trained Healthcare Professionals to results obtained by POC personnel on the same specimens using the same analyzer. The Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer was evaluated by point-of-care (POC) personnel in 3 POC sites including a Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU), an Emergency Department (ED) and a Respiratory Therapy Lab (RT). A total of 61 Respiratory Care, 12 Nursing, and 1 Exercise Physiology POC personnel participated from the 3 POC settings over the course of the study. The personnel represent trained, qualified staff found in typical POC sites where blood gas analyzers are utilized. All testing was performed using quality control materials or discarded blood gas specimens.
Method Comparison studies on venous and arterial whole blood specimens were conducted using methods described in CLSI "Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples: Approved Guideline - Second Edition", CLSI EP9-A2. Combined method comparison data from all 3 POC settings is summarized in Table 1.

Total Imprecision Performance:
The estimates for total impression were obtained from different POC personnel running 3 levels of Stat Profile Prime Plus Quality Control/Linearity Materials in duplicate each day for a total of 20 runs on 3 Stat Profile Prime Plus analyzers. The protocol was based upon methods described in CLSI Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guideline-Second Edition, CLSI EP5-A2T. The total imprecision data from one representative POC site is shown in Table 2 is representative of the expected total imprecision performance obtainable by POC personnel using the Stat Profile Prime Plus analyzer using external quality control and linearity materials.

Within-Run Whole Blood Precision:
Whole blood with-run precision of the Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer System in the hands of point-ofcare operators was assessed by a minimum of two (2) point-of-care operators at each of the three (3) POC sites for a total of nine (9) operators across the 3 testing locations. Each precision run consisted of ten (10) replicate measurements using both fresh, native and altered whole blood samples. A total of five (5) different native samples and two (2) altered samples were evaluated at each site. Each whole blood specimen was maintained in a syringe. The POC operator performed all sample analysis steps including sample analysis, removal of resultant air bubble(s) from the syringe, recapping of the syringe and mixing prior to the next sample analysis. The whole blood within-run precision data from one representative POC
{9}------------------------------------------------
site is shown in Table 3 and is representative of the expected within-run precision obtainable by POC personnel using the Stat Profile Prime Plus analyzer using whole blood samples.
Table 3: Within Run Precision with Whole Blood Samples (n=10) – ED

Conclusion:
The results of the POC clinical performance verification testing confirmed that the Stat Profile Prime Plus
Analyzer is substantially equivalent to the predicate Stat Profile
