Intended Use
The ChemTrak AccuMeter® Theophylline Test provides a rapid, noninstrumented enzyme immunochromatographic method for in vitro quantitative measurement of Theophylline concentrations in ambulatory patients using fingerstick whole blood, heparinized venous whole blood or serum. This test has not been validated for use with blood from neonates.
Device Description
The AccuMeter Theophylline Test is a rapid immunoassay for the quantitative detection of theophylline, using HRP labeled anti-theophylline antibodies and immobilized monoclonal anti-theophylline antibodies. The immunospecific signal is measured by the height of the enzyme label along the test strip.
More Information

No
The summary describes a rapid immunoassay that measures theophylline concentration based on the height of an enzyme label on a test strip. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis that would suggest the use of these technologies. The measurement is described as "noninstrumented".

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test that quantitatively measures Theophylline concentrations, which is used to monitor drug levels, not to directly provide therapy.

Yes

The device quantitatively measures Theophylline concentrations in patient samples, which falls under the definition of a diagnostic test for measuring an analyte to provide information for diagnosis or monitoring.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical immunoassay test strip that measures the height of an enzyme label, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the test provides a method for "in vitro quantitative measurement of Theophylline concentrations". "In vitro" means "in glass" or "outside the body," which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
  • Sample Type: The test uses "fingerstick whole blood, heparinized venous whole blood or serum," which are biological specimens taken from the body for testing.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to measure the concentration of Theophylline, a substance in the body, to provide information for medical purposes (monitoring drug levels in ambulatory patients).

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

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Clinical studies were conducted at three sites. A minimum of 40 subjects receiving theophylline therapy were recruited from the patient population at each site. Five to ten theophylline-free subjects were also recruited. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. The following subject demographic and medical information was collected: age; sex: theophylline dose. Site 1 also tested serum and heparinized whole blood on the AccuMeter. Serum was sent to the reference laboratory for TDx theophylline results.
The accuracy of the AccuMeter Theophylline Test has been demonstrated by correlation to Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (TDx) using fingerstick and serum specimens in separate studies.
Testing was performed on individuals receiving theophylline therapy at three independent clinical sites. In 30 out of 149 patients the results were less than the AccuMeter detection limit and were not included for regression analysis. Of the 454 cassettes run on patient samples, the Add Developer Window did not turn green in 6 cassettes and the Control Window did not turn purple in 1 cassette.
The use of fingerstick whole blood, serum, and heparinized whole blood samples in the AccuMeter Theophylline Test was evaluated by parallel testing of 40 patients, by AccuMeter and TDx. at one clinical site. Testing was performed on individuals receiving theophylline therapy.

Sample collection and clinical evaluation of the AccuMeter Theophylline Test were performed at three independent clinical sites. IRB approval was obtained for the study protocol. TDx Theophylline testing was performed by a centralized reference laboratory.

Clinical studies were conducted at three sites. A minimum of 40 subjects receiving theophylline therapy were recruited from the patient population at each site. Five to ten theophylline-free subjects were also recruited. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. The following subject demographic and medical information was collected: age; sex: theophylline dose. Site 1 also tested serum and heparinized whole blood on the AccuMeter. Serum was sent to the reference laboratory for TDx theophylline results.

Accuracy

The accuracy of the AccuMeter Theophylline Test has been demonstrated by correlation to Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (TDx) using fingerstick and serum specimens in separate studies.

Testing was performed on individuals receiving theophylline therapy at three independent clinical sites. The least-squares linear regression analysis of all sites combined is shown below (Table 1). In 30 out of 149 patients the results were less than the AccuMeter detection limit and were not included for regression analysis. Of the 454 cassettes run on patient samples, the Add Developer Window did not turn green in 6 cassettes and the Control Window did not turn purple in 1 cassette.
