Intended Use
The Cholesterol2 assay is used for the quantitation of cholesterol in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. The Cholesterol2 assay is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders.
Device Description
The Cholesterol2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay for the quantitation of cholesterol in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. Cholesterol esters are enzymatically hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to cholesterol and free fatty acids. Free cholesterol, including that originally present, is then oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to cholest-4-ene-3-one and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide oxidatively couples with N,N-Bis(4-sulfobutyl)-3-methylaniline (TODB) and 4-aminoantipyrine to form a chromophore (quinoneimine dye) which is quantitated at 604 nm.

No
The description details a standard enzymatic clinical chemistry assay for cholesterol quantitation, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitation of cholesterol to aid in diagnosis and treatment, but it does not directly perform a therapeutic function on a patient.

Yes
The device is described as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders, indicating its use in identifying or confirming the presence of medical conditions.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay, which is a chemical reagent kit used on a specific hardware system (ARCHITECT c System) to measure cholesterol levels. It is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay is used for the quantitation of cholesterol in human serum or plasma. This is a key characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device, as it analyzes biological samples taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a chemical process that occurs outside the body (in vitro) to measure cholesterol levels. It describes enzymatic reactions and the formation of a chromophore that is then quantitated.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe the evaluation of the assay's performance using samples (serum and plasma), which is typical for IVD validation.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" with a K number (K981652) is a strong indicator that this device has gone through the FDA's 510(k) clearance process, which is the regulatory pathway for many IVD devices.

The information provided clearly aligns with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

VIII. Summary of Nonclinical Performance

All performance characteristics were obtained using the ARCHITECT c8000 System.

A. Reportable Interval

Based on the limit of detection (LoD), limit of quantitation (LoQ), precision, and linearity, the ranges over which results can be reported are provided below according to the definitions from CLSI EP34, 1st ed.*

a AMI: The AMI extends from the LoQ to the upper limit of quantitation (ULoQ). This is determined by the range of values in mg/dL that demonstrated acceptable performance for linearity, imprecision, and bias.

b EMI: The EMI extends from the ULoQ to the ULoQ x sample dilution.

C The reportable interval extends from the LoD to the upper limit of the EMI.

NOTE: The default Low Linearity value of the assay file corresponds to the lower limit of the analytical measuring interval.
