Intended Use
This method is for the quantitative determination of the amino acid tyrosine in whole blood saturated filter paper disks using the APF™ 300 SPOTCHECK® Analyzer or the RFA 300 System. Measurements obtained by this device are used primarily to screen newborns for congenital tyrosinemia, a disease that can cause liver/kidney disorders.
Device Description
The proposed device, Tyrosine 50-Hour Reagent Kit, is a set of reagents to be used with the API™ 300 SPOTCHECK® Analyzer or the RFA 300 System for the quantitative determination of the amino acid tyrosine (Tyr) in whole blood saturated filter paper disks. The amount of Tvr is determined by measuring the fluorescent compound produced in the reaction of tyrosine with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol, catalyzed by nitrous acid at 80°C. The excitation wavelength of the product is 450 nm and emission is measured at 550 nm. The method is specific for para-substituted phenolic compounds. Excess 1-nitroso-2-naphthol is removed from the reaction mixture by reduction with sodium m-bisulfite. The method is designed for mass screening, with enough reagents in each 50-Hour ' Reagent Kit for 1 week plus start-up (50 hours total) of run time. It is packaged to reduce storage space and to require a minimum of time to prepare. Each component is packaged with the correct weight to prepare the required volume of reagent. The standard is in a concentrated form, to permit easy dilution to prepare a standard curve.

The device description focuses on a chemical reaction and fluorescence measurement for quantitative analysis, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is a reagent kit used for the quantitative determination of tyrosine in blood samples to screen for congenital tyrosinemia; it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease.

Yes

The device quantitatively determines amino acid tyrosine levels in whole blood, primarily to screen newborns for congenital tyrosinemia, a disease that can cause liver/kidney disorders. This direct measurement to identify a medical condition classifies it as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "set of reagents" and describes a chemical reaction and measurement of fluorescence, indicating it is a chemical assay kit, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the method is for the "quantitative determination of the amino acid tyrosine in whole blood saturated filter paper disks." This is a measurement performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological specimen (whole blood).
  • Indications for Use: The indications for use state that the measurements are used "primarily to screen newborns for congenital tyrosinemia." This is a diagnostic purpose, using the in vitro measurement to aid in the identification of a disease.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "set of reagents" used with an analyzer to determine the amount of tyrosine in a biological sample. This aligns with the nature of IVD devices, which often involve reagents and analytical instruments to perform tests on biological specimens.
  • Anatomical Site: The sample is "whole blood saturated filter paper disks," which is a biological specimen collected from the body.

The combination of performing a test on a biological specimen in vitro for a diagnostic purpose clearly classifies this device as an IVD.

INTENDED USE

This method is for the quantitative determination of the amino acid tyrosine in whole blood saturated filter paper disks using the API™ 300 SPOTCHECK® Analyzer or the RFA 300 System. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as congenital tyrosinemia, a disease that can cause liver/kidney disorders.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DEVICE COMPARED TO PREDICATE DEVICE

Similarities with Predicate Device

The Astoria-Pacific SPOTCHECK® Tyrosine 50-Hour Reagent Kit is similar to the predicate device, Technicon Tyrosine test, having the same technological characteristics and intended use. Both are diagnostic reagent kits to be used for the quantitative, automated. fluorometric determination of the amino acid tyrosine in blood; both have the same chemical principles and reaction mechanism.

The reagents are identical, and there are no new reagents. The proposed device uses approximately the same temperatures, time and ratios of reagents as the predicate device.

Differences from Predicate Device

While the method and reagents are identical for the proposed and predicate devices, there are minor variations in the surfactants. The Technicon device uses Brij-35, while the proposed device uses Triton X-100, as it is available in a purified grade. In addition, the sample for the proposed device is whole blood spotted on filter paper and extracted with a

2

buffer; the sample for the predicate device is not specified. The proposed device is designed for a sampling rate of 90 per hour vs. 50 per hour for the predicate device.

There are also slight differences in the temperature of the assay and the wavelengths of the excitation and emission filters. The temperature of the assay, which affects the level of fluorescence produced, is 80°C for the 50-Hour Reagent Kit and 90°C for the Technicon Tyrosine test; temperatures from 55°C to 90°C are cited in the literature for this reaction. The Proposed device designates 450 nm and 550 nm for the excitation and emission wavelengths, respectively: the predicate device uses 440 nm and 540 nm, respectively. Because there is a broad bandpass of about 40 nm for the filters, and the emitted fluorescent light is broad spectrum, this difference is not consequential.

Other differences include concentration range (0-200 mg/L for Astoria-Pacific vs. 0-2 mg/L for Technicon), detection limit and upper limit of the assay, Also, the Technicon Tyrosine test required the user to prepare all reagents; in the 50-Hour Reagent Kit, the reagents are either pre-made or pre-weighed.

The minor differences between the Astoria-Pacific SPOTCHECK® Tyrosine 50-Hour Reagent Kit and the Technicon Tyrosine test raise no questions of safety or efficacy.

BRIEF DISCUSSION OF NONCLINICAL TESTS

Because there is such a strong similarity between the Astoria-Pacific SPOTCHECK® Tyrosine 50-Hour Reagent Kit and the Technicon Tyrosine test, no nonclinical testing has been performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

BRIEF DISCUSSION OF CLINICAL TESTS

Clinical testing has been performed on whole blood saturated filter paper disks. These test include 1,096 specimens analyzed by the State of California's Genetic Disease Laboratory, of which 532 were normal neonatal blood samples and 521 were spiked samples. Results correlated well with the expected values for the spiked samples; all normal neonatal blood samples yielded tyrosine values within the normal range. Other testing is described in the product labeling.

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM THE NONCLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS

The clinical tests demonstrate that the proposed device, the Astoria-Pacific SPOTCHECK® Tyrosine 50-Hour Reagent Kit, is safe and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
