Intended Use
The IRMA® Blood Analysis System is intended for professional use in those settings where direct measurement of blood such as blood gases (pCO2 and pO2), pH, Na+, K+, iCa++ and Hct in whole blood are performed such as the clinical laboratory or patient bedside, and The IRMA/Lifescan SureStep®Pro glucose module is intended for quantitative measurement of glucose in a sample of whole blood. It can be used in a clinical setting to measure glucose in arterial, venous, and capillary samples in both adults and neonates. It can also be used by lay persons for capillary blood glucose monitoring in the home. Indications for Use: The pH, pCO2, pO2 measurements, and their associated calculated values are used to assess acid-base status and state of oxygenation. Common causes of acid-base disturbances include cardiopulmonary disease, metabolic abnormalities, drugs and poisons, and fluid imbalance. The electrolyte measurements (Na+ K+)are used to assess hydrational status, aid in the diagnosis of respiratory and metabolic acid-balance, and prevention of cardiac armythmia. Common disease states which utilize these measurements are acid-base disturbances, dehydration, diarrhea, ketoacidosis, alcoholism and other toxicities. The measurement of ionized calcium is used to assess disease states such as thyroid abnormalities, renal failure or transplant, and to monitor dialysis patients. The measurement of hematocrit is used to assess anemia, blood loss such as in an accident or during surgical procedures, and polycythemia. The measurement of glucose on the module is used to monitor glucose levels in diabetic patients. It is not intended to be used for the diagnosis of diabetes. These indications for use are identical to the predicate devices since the new system consists of an integration of the two predicate devices.

No
The document describes a blood analysis system that measures various blood parameters. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the provided text. The focus is on direct measurement of blood components.

No
The device is described as a blood analysis system intended for quantitative measurement of various blood parameters to assess acid-base status, hydrational status, and monitor glucose levels, among other diagnostic purposes. It is explicitly stated that the glucose module is "not intended to be used for the diagnosis of diabetes," which differentiates it from a therapeutic device directly treating a condition. Its function is to provide information for diagnosis and monitoring, not direct treatment.

Yes
The device measures various blood parameters (blood gases, pH, electrolytes, hematocrit, glucose) that are used to assess acid-base status, oxygenation, hydration, diagnose specific disease states (e.g., thyroid abnormalities, renal failure), and monitor conditions like anemia and diabetes. These measurements directly aid in diagnosis or patient management based on physiological parameters.

No

The device description is not provided, but the intended use clearly describes a "Blood Analysis System" that performs "direct measurement of blood" for various analytes. This strongly implies the use of hardware components for sample handling and analysis, which would not qualify it as a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "direct measurement of blood such as blood gases (pCO2 and pO2), pH, Na+, K+, iCa++ and Hct in whole blood" and "quantitative measurement of glucose in a sample of whole blood." These measurements are performed on biological samples (blood) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Indications for Use: The indications for use describe how the results of these measurements are used to assess various physiological states and aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases (e.g., acid-base status, state of oxygenation, hydrational status, thyroid abnormalities, anemia, glucose levels in diabetic patients). This aligns with the purpose of IVDs, which are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Sample Type: The device analyzes "whole blood," which is a biological specimen.

The fact that it is used in clinical laboratories, at the patient bedside, and even by lay persons for home glucose monitoring further supports its classification as an IVD, as these are common settings for IVD use.
