No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay for measuring procalcitonin levels and does not mention any AI or ML components. The performance studies focus on analytical performance metrics typical of laboratory assays.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for measuring PCT levels to aid in risk assessment for severe sepsis and septic shock, not for treatment.

Yes

The device quantitatively measures procalcitonin levels, which, "in conjunction with other laboratory findings and clinical assessments aids in the risk assessment of critically ill patients ... for progression to severe sepsis and septic shock." This process of aiding in risk assessment for a medical condition is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly details the components of a reagent pack, which are physical substances used in a laboratory assay. This indicates the device includes hardware (reagents) and is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states "for in vitro quantitative determination of procalcitonin (PCT) levels in human serum and plasma". This indicates the device is used to test samples taken from the human body outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of the "reagent pack" used in the assay, which are substances used to perform the in vitro test.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes various performance studies (Method Comparison, Imprecision, Linearity, Limit of Blank, Limit of Detection, Limit of Quantitation) which are typical evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K192271; Access PCT Assay) strongly suggests that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device, a common practice in regulatory submissions for IVDs.

All these points align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Method Comparison: The results of the method comparison study met the acceptance criteria of R2 ≥ 0.95 and slope 1.00 ± 0.10 and supports the equivalence of the Access PCT assay on Dxl 9000 to the Access PCT assay on Access 2 Instrument. The bias data supports the reference intervals defined on the Access 2 system have not changed appreciably on the Dxl 9000 system.
Method Concordance: The percentage of concordance between the Access 2 lmmunoassay System and the Dxl 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer for the cut-offs of 0.5 and 2.0 ng/mL were 100.0% and 98.3%, respectively.
lmprecision: The Within Laboratory (total) % CV was between 2.2% and 6.1% for PCT concentrations ≥ 0.150 ng/mL. The Within laboratory (total) SD was between 0.006 - 0.008 for PCT concentrations 0.150 ng/mL.
Limit of Blank (LoB): The data demonstrated the LoB estimate of the PCT assay is 0.002 ng/mL. which met the acceptance criteria of ≤ 0.005 ng/mL.
Limit of Detection (LoD): The data demonstrated the LoD estimate of PCT is 0.003 ng/mL which met the acceptance criteria of ≤ 0.01 ng/mL.
Limit of Quantitation (LoQ): The results demonstrated the 20% CV LoQ estimate for the Access PCT assay to be 0.002 ng/mL which meets the acceptance criteria of less than or equal to 0.02 ng/mL.
The maximum observed LoQ estimate for Access PCT assay on the Dxl 9000 immunoassay System is less than the reported LoD value (0.003ng/mL). Following the CLSI EP17-A2 recommendation that the LoQ must be greater than or equal to LoD, the LoQ value is reported as 0.003 ng/mL to align with LoD.

Summary of Studies

Method Comparison: The results of the method comparison study met the acceptance criteria of R2 ≥ 0.95 and slope 1.00 ± 0.10 and supports the equivalence of the Access PCT assay on Dxl 9000 to the Access PCT assay on Access 2 Instrument. The bias data supports the reference intervals defined on the Access 2 system have not changed appreciably on the Dxl 9000 system.

Method Concordance: The percentage of concordance between the Access 2 lmmunoassay System and the Dxl 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer for the cut-offs of 0.5 and 2.0 ng/mL were 100.0% and 98.3%, respectively.

lmprecision: The Within Laboratory (total) % CV was between 2.2% and 6.1% for PCT concentrations ≥ 0.150 ng/mL. The Within laboratory (total) SD was between 0.006 - 0.008 for PCT concentrations 0.150 ng/mL.

Limit of Blank (LoB): The data demonstrated the LoB estimate of the PCT assay is 0.002 ng/mL. which met the acceptance criteria of ≤ 0.005 ng/mL.

Limit of Detection (LoD): The data demonstrated the LoD estimate of PCT is 0.003 ng/mL which met the acceptance criteria of ≤ 0.01 ng/mL.

Limit of Quantitation (LoQ): The results demonstrated the 20% CV LoQ estimate for the Access PCT assay to be 0.002 ng/mL which meets the acceptance criteria of less than or equal to 0.02 ng/mL

The maximum observed LoQ estimate for Access PCT assay on the Dxl 9000 immunoassay System is less than the reported LoD value (0.003ng/mL). Following the CLSI EP17-A2 recommendation that the LoQ must be greater than or equal to LoD, the LoQ value is reported as 0.003 ng/mL to align with LoD.
