More Information

No
The description focuses on standard automated laboratory procedures and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is described as an "in vitro diagnostic analyzer," which means it is used to analyze samples outside of the body for diagnostic purposes, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that it is "an in vitro diagnostic analyzer."

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components and functions, such as sample measurement, pipetting, incubation, shaking, aspiration, washing, and photometric measurement. This indicates it is a physical instrument, not solely software.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The COBAS Core II Immunochemistry System is an in vitro diagnostic analyzer intended for enzymeimmunoassay procedures."

The "Device Description" section also reiterates this: "The COBAS Core II Immunochemistry System is an in vitro diagnostic analyzer intended for enzymeimmunoassay procedures."

These statements clearly indicate that the device is designed to be used outside of the body to examine specimens for diagnostic purposes, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

To demonstrate equivalence in performance characteristics, three representative assays were evaluated for precision and accuracy: COBAS Core LH, COBAS Core FSH, and COBAS Core Ferritin.

Precision Study: Four internal reference sera and the kit control were tested to evaluate the within-run and run-to-run reproducibility of the COBAS Core II analyzer. For within-run precision, samples were tested seven times in triplicate. For run-to-run precision, the same samples were tested in duplicate in 10 independent runs. Except for one serum with a very low LH level, all CV's were far below 10%. The precision range found for the COBAS Core II corresponded to the values determined for the COBAS Core I.

Correlation Study: The correlation of the COBAS Core I and COBAS Core II was evaluated using 137 randomly selected clinical samples run in duplicate on both analyzers. The results of Core I and Core II were compared using linear regression analysis. For all three assays, the calculated slopes were 1.000 ± 0.014 with a correlation coefficient > 0.995.

Key Metrics

For the correlation study, calculated slopes were 1.000 ± 0.014 with a correlation coefficient > 0.995 for all three assays.
For within-run and run-to-run precision, except for one serum with a very low LH level, all CV's were far below 10%.

§ 862.2160 Discrete photometric chemistry analyzer for clinical use.

(a)
Identification. A discrete photometric chemistry analyzer for clinical use is a device intended to duplicate manual analytical procedures by performing automatically various steps such as pipetting, preparing filtrates, heating, and measuring color intensity. This device is intended for use in conjunction with certain materials to measure a variety of analytes. Different models of the device incorporate various instrumentation such as micro analysis apparatus, double beam, single, or dual channel photometers, and bichromatic 2-wavelength photometers. Some models of the device may include reagent-containing components that may also serve as reaction units.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 862.9.

Breif discussion of the clinical and nonclinical tests relied on for a V . determination of substantial equivalence:

To demonstrate equivalence in performance characteristics, three representative assays were evaluated for precision and accuracy. The three assays are: COBAS Core LH COBAS Core FSH COBAS Core Ferritin

Precision Study

Four internal reference sera and the kit control were tested to evaluate the within-run and run-to-run reproducibility of the COBAS Core II analyzer. For within-run precision the samples were tested seven times in triplicate. For the run-to run precision the same samples were tested in duplicate in 10 independent runs. Except for one serum with a very low LH level, all CV's are far below 10%. The precision range found for the COBAS Core II correspond to the values determined for the COBAS Core I.

Correlation Study

The correlation of the COBAS Core I and COBAS Core II was evaluated using 137 randomly selected clinical samples run in duplicate on both analyzers. The results of Core I and Core II were compared using linear regression analysis. For all three assays, the calculated slopes were 1.000 ± 0.014 with a correlation coefficient > 0.995.
