Intended Use
UB analyzer UA-2 and its exclusive reagent kit are designed to determine both total and unbound bilirubin concentration in neonatal serum using exclusive reagent kit, "UB TEST." The total bilirubin and unbound bilirubin concentration in neonatal serum can be used to provide the physician with additional information in the clinical assessment of jaundiced neonates and the possible risk of bilirubin encephalopathy.
Device Description
The UB analyzer UA-2 is designed to determine both the total and unbound bilirubin concentrations in neonatal serum quantitatively with rapidity and accuracy. Determined concentrations of total bilirubin and unbound bilirubin are digitally displayed on LCD and printed out with UB/TB ratio and determined date. These concentrations of bilirubin can be used by the physician for clinically assessing jaundiced neonates and for the possible association with bilirubin encephalopathy.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a quantitative analyzer for bilirubin using a reagent kit and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is an analyzer for determining bilirubin concentration, which provides information for clinical assessment but does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes
The device is designed to "determine both total and unbound bilirubin concentration in neonatal serum," and this information can be used by the physician to assess "jaundiced neonates and the possible risk of bilirubin encephalopathy." This directly indicates the device provides information for diagnosis and clinical assessment.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "UB analyzer UA-2" and its function of determining concentrations and displaying them on an "LCD" and printing them out. This indicates a physical hardware component is involved in the measurement and output, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is designed to determine the concentration of substances (total and unbound bilirubin) in a biological sample (neonatal serum). This is a core characteristic of IVDs.
  • Sample Type: It analyzes a sample taken from the body (serum), but the analysis is performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Clinical Purpose: The results are used to provide information for the clinical assessment of jaundiced neonates and the possible risk of bilirubin encephalopathy. This indicates a medical purpose for the test results.
  • Device Description: The description explicitly states it "determine[s] both the total and unbound bilirubin concentrations in neonatal serum quantitatively."

All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Attention : Document Mail Clerk

Dear Sirs :

510(K) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

ARROWS Co., Ltd. is requesting marketing clearance for in vitro diagnostic use of UB analyzer UA-2, its reagent kit and the bilirubin control to be manufactured by ARROWS Co., Ltd. Our UB analyzer UA-2 represents an apparatus for measuring unbound bilirubin as well as total bilirubin in newborns quantitatively. The UB analyzer UA-2 provides effective means for the rapid and accurate determination of unhound bilirubin in the serum of newborns by an enzymatic method utilizing Glucose Oxidase (GOD) and Peroxidase (POD).

The UB analyzer UA-2 is designed to determine both the total and unbound bilirubin concentrations in neonatal serum. These concentrations of bilirubin can be used by the physician for clinically assessing jaundiced neonates and for the possible association with bilirubin encephalopathy.

Substantial Equivalence :

UB analyzer UA-2 is similar in design and function to UB ANALYZER , MODEL UA-1 / REAGENT KIT / BILIRUBIN CON. which was approved with Premarket notification 510(K) number K871115 by FDA and marketed in USA by LABO SCIENCE-USA INC. We had been the original manufacturer of UB ANALYZER , MODEL UA-1 / REAGENT KIT / BILIRUBIN CON. and modified this device in design, adopting the state-of-the-art technology. As the comparison table and scientific literature show, the modifications are not substantial and do not affect any safety, effectiveness and the intended use of the device.

The description of the device :

The UB analyzer UA-2 is designed to determine both the total and unbound bilirubin concentrations in neonatal serum quantitatively with rapidity and accuracy. Determined concentrations of total bilirubin and unbound bilirubin are digitally displayed on LCD and printed out with UB/TB ratio and determined date. These concentrations of bilirubin can be used by the physician for clinically assessing jaundiced neonates and for the possible association with bilirubin encephalopathy.

These concentrations of bilirubin can be used by the physician for clinically assessing jaundiced neonates and for the possible association with bilirubin encephalopathy.

The technological characteristics of the device compared to the predicative device : The UB analyzer UA-2 was modified in design of UB ANALYZER UA-1 adopting the state -of -the art technology. As "Comparison on the specifications of UB ANALYZER UA-1 and UB analyzer UA-2" shows, the technological characteristics of the UB analyzer UA-2 are basically the same with the predicative device, UB ANALYZER UA-1.

The followings are the modified technological characteristics :

    1. Display was changed from LED to LCD (liquid crystal display).
    1. As printer was built in with UB analyzer UA-2, the measurement results are automatically printed out together with LCD display.
