Device Description
The ONLINE TDM Methotrexate assay is an in vitro test for the quantitative determination of methotrexate in human serum and plasma on cobas c systems. The determination of methotrexate is used for monitoring levels of methotrexate to ensure appropriate therapy. The ONLINE TDM MTX assay is a two-reagent system used for the detection of methotrexate in serum and plasma. In this technology drug hapten attached to the enzyme glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) serves as the binding partner to anti-methotrexate antibody. A competitive reaction to a limited amount of specific anti-methotrexate antibody takes place between the enzyme bound hapten and free methotrexate in the sample. Enzyme activity is reduced with bound antibody. Only active enzymes reduce NAD+ to NADH. The rate of NADH formation during the reaction correlates to the methotrexate concentration and is measured photometrically. The ONLINE TDM MTX assay is a homogeneous enzyme-immunoassay. Reagents - working solutions R1: Anti-methotrexate antibody (rabbit monoclonal), 3 µg/mL; NAD, G6P, bovine serum albumin in water, pH 6.3; preservative R3: Methotrexate hapten conjugated to G6PDH, 0.3 µg/mL; bovine serum albumin in buffer, pH 7.8; preservative
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a homogeneous enzyme-immunoassay based on a competitive binding reaction and photometric measurement of NADH formation. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational algorithms beyond standard data processing for quantitative determination. The performance studies focus on analytical characteristics typical of in vitro diagnostic assays, not AI/ML model performance metrics.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test used for monitoring levels of methotrexate in human serum and plasma. It provides information for appropriate therapy but does not directly treat or prevent a disease, which is the function of a therapeutic device.

Yes

The device is an in vitro test that quantitatively determines methotrexate levels in human serum and plasma, which is used for monitoring drug levels to ensure appropriate therapy. This falls under the definition of a diagnostic device as it provides information for disease management or treatment monitoring.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay that utilizes chemical reagents and is performed on a hardware system (cobas c systems). 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 device is an "in vitro test for the quantitative determination of methotrexate in human serum and plasma". This clearly indicates that the device is intended to be used outside of the body to analyze biological samples.
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" further reinforces this by describing the assay as an "in vitro test" and detailing the reagents and methodology used to analyze serum and plasma samples.
  • Nature of the Test: The test measures the concentration of methotrexate in biological fluids (serum and plasma) to monitor therapeutic levels. This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test used for patient management.
