The device description and performance studies focus on a biochemical assay method and its analytical performance metrics (correlation, precision, linearity). There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms for interpretation or analysis.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used to determine the level of antithrombin III in plasma for diagnostic and monitoring purposes, not for direct therapeutic treatment.
Yes
Explanation: The device is used to "aid in the diagnosis of a congenital deficiency of antithrombin III," which directly indicates its use for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly outlines a chemical assay kit involving reagents and a two-stage method with incubation and determination of residual thrombin using a chromogenic substrate. This involves physical components and chemical reactions, not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is used to determine the level of antithrombin III in plasma. This is a test performed on a biological sample (plasma) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health status (monitoring heparin administration, diagnosing congenital deficiency).
- Device Description: The description details a method for measuring a substance (Antithrombin III) in a biological sample (plasma) using chemical reactions and a chromogenic substrate. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic assay.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is listed as "Plasma," which is a biological fluid.
- Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is a "Clinical Laboratory," which is where in vitro diagnostic tests are typically performed.
All of these factors align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Sigma Diagnostics ACCUCOLOR™ Antithrombin III (AT-III) is used to determine the concentration of antithrombin III (a substance which acts with the anticoagulant heparin to prevent blood clots) in plasma. This determination is used to monitor the administration of heparin in the treatment of thrombotic disease (a disease in which blood clots form). This determination may also be used in the diagnosis of a congenital deficiency of antithrombin (III).

Summary of Performance Studies
One hundred and fourteen samples with values ranging from 41% normal to 121% normal were assayed using the three kits described above. Using an automated analyzer the current kit (Amelung AMAX) (y) was compared with the Coamatic assay (MLA-1000C) (x1). This comparison yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.98 with an equation of y = 0.91x1 + 7.85. When the current kit (y) was compared with Sigma CRS105A (x2) (both on Amelung AMAX) the comparison yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.93 with an equation of y = 1.03x2 -2.3. Precision studies demonstrated a within run CV of less than 3% and a total precision of less than 6%. The Sigma Accucolor Antithrombin III Assay Kit (CRS117A) has been determined to be linear to 140%.

(a)
Identification. An antithrombin III assay is a device that is used to determine the plasma level of antithrombin III (a substance which acts with the anticoagulant heparin to prevent coagulation). This determination is used to monitor the administration of heparin in the treatment of thrombosis. The determination may also be used in the diagnosis of thrombophilia (a congenital deficiency of antithrombin III).(b)

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Accucolor Antithrombin III Assay Kit (CRS117A)
Antithrombin III (ATIII) is the major inhibitor of plasma thrombin and factor Xa. It is also an important inhibitor of activated factors IXA., Xla, and Xlla. ' The inhibitory activity of ATIII towards thrombin is greatly increased (2-3 orders of magnitude) in the presence of heparin.
ATIII levels are decreased in immunological and functional tests in Type I, or genetic, ATIII deficiencies. Only functional levels are decreased in Type II ATIII deficiencies in which heparin enhancement does not proceed normally2. Acquired deficiency of ATIII may occur in consumptive coagulopathies (e.g. DVT. DIC. pulmonary emboli), other disease states (e.g. severe liver disease, nephrotic syndrome), surgery, pregnancy, minor trauma, and certain therapy courses such as L-asparaginase 1,3,4. ATIII levels may be lower in infants (up to 6 months) slightly lower in women, and further decreased with increasing age. 9 Agents which have been reported to increase ATIII levels include danazol and antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin.4
A second heparin cofactor which inhibits thrombin, heparin cofactor II (HCII) was described by Tolefsen et al. 6 Studies indicate that in consumptive coagulopathies such as DIC, a parallel reduction in levels of HCII and ATIII is observed'. HCII is thought to contribute to falsely high values in the assays of some genetic ATIII deficiency states .
In the present two-stage method , thrombin is added to a plasma dilution containing antithrombin III in the presence of LMW heparin. After an initial incubation period (stage 1) residual thrombin is determined with a thrombinspecific chromogenic substrate (stage 2). The residual thrombin activity is inversely proportional to the antithrombin III concentration. A number of studies have shown the validity of this assay approach to the detection of ATIII disorders and deficiencies .
The use of bovine thrombin and low heparin levels reportedly reduce the interference of HCII in amidolytic assays®. Proprietary formulations used in the manufacture of this ATIII assay have lowered the interference from HCII to a level where discrimination between normal and abnormal levels is similar to that achieved by factor Xa based ATIII assays.
The safety and effectiveness of the Sigma Accucolor Antithrombin III Assay Kit (CRS117A) has been demonstrated by showing its substantial equivalence to Sigma Accucolor Antithrombin III Assay kit (CRS105A) and to Diapharma Coamatic assay. One hundred and fourteen samples with values ranging from 41% normal to 121% normal were assayed using the three kits described above. Using an automated analyzer the current kit (Amelung

AMAX) (y) was compared with the Coamatic assay (MLA-1000C) (x,). This comparison yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.98 with an equation of y = 0.91x, + 7.85. When the current kit (y) was compared with Sigma CRS105A (x)) (both on Amelung AMAX) the comparison yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.93 with an equation of y = 1.03x2 -2.3. Precision studies demonstrated a within run CV of less than 3% and a total precision of less than 6%. The Sigma Accucolor Antithrombin III Assay Kit (CRS117A) has been determined to be linear to 140%.
