Intended Use
The IMMAGE Immunochemistry System is a fully automated, computer controlled, bench-top chemistry analyzer intended for the in vitro quantitative measurement of therapeutic drugs and specific components of clinical use in biological fluids.
Device Description
The IMMAGE Immunochemistry System is a fully automated, computer controlled, bench-top chemistry analyzer intended for the in vitro quantitative determination of specific components and therapeutic drugs of clinical interest in biological fluids such as serum, plasma, urine, and cerebral spinal fluid. The analyzer operates in conjunction with reagents, calibrators, and controls designed for use with the system. The instrument features barcode identification of samples and reagents. It automatically dilutes samples and delivers them to the reaction cuvette along with reagents and reaction constituents. The system analyzes up to 72 samples per run with up to 24 analytes per sample. Major hardware components include a reagent compartment, and reagent cranes, reaction module, sample carousel and crane, sample hydropheumatics, electronics, and power supplies.

No
The summary describes a standard automated chemistry analyzer with computer control for quantitative measurements. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The performance studies focus on method comparison and imprecision, which are typical for this type of device and do not suggest the use of AI/ML for data analysis or interpretation.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) chemistry analyzer that measures specific components and therapeutic drugs in biological fluids. It is used for diagnostic purposes and does not directly provide therapy.

Yes

The device is intended for "in vitro quantitative measurement of therapeutic drugs and specific components of clinical use in biological fluids," which generates data used to aid in diagnosis or patient management.

No

The device description explicitly lists major hardware components including a reagent compartment, reagent cranes, reaction module, sample carousel and crane, sample hydropheumatics, electronics, and power supplies. This indicates it is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The IMMAGE Immunochemistry System is a fully automated, computer controlled, bench-top chemistry analyzer intended for the in vitro quantitative measurement of therapeutic drugs and specific components of clinical use in biological fluids."

The phrase "in vitro quantitative measurement" is a key indicator of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, as it describes testing performed outside of the body to measure specific substances. The "Device Description" further reinforces this by detailing how the system analyzes biological fluids.
