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 BUN. CI'. and Hct. in whole blood are performed such as the clinical laboratory or the patient bedside. 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 . Cl) are used to assess hydrational status, aid in the diagnosis of respiratory and metabolic acid-balance, and prevention of cardiac arrhythmia. Common disease states which utilize these measurements for diagnosis 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 blood urea nitrogen is used to monitor renal disease, dialysis --patients, and hyperalimentation. The measurement of hematocrit is used to assess anemia, blood loss such as in an accident or during surgical procedures, and polycythemia. With the addition of BUN and Cr, the IRMA Blood Analysis System will measure: blood gases (pCO2 and pO2), pH, sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, and hematocrit. The sensor arravs of the cartridge will also be packaged in various combinations.
Device Description
The current IRMA Blood Analysis System comprises a system of an electronic instrument and disposable cartridges (single-use or multi-use) intended for the measurement of blood gases (pCO2 and pO2), pH, potassium, sodium, ionized calcium, and hematocrit in blood. The new system will measure the above mentioned analytes plus blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and chloride (Cl) in blood on the single-use cartridge. Except for the addition of these two analytes and their associated changes, the system will remain the same as the current system. The IRMA analyzer can use either battery or AC power. The system's operation utilizes a microprocessor which is controlled by internal electronics and diagnostics. The microprocessor controls the touch screen, analog electronics which collect the digital signals from the sensors and the controls the printer. The printer provides a hard copy of the measured and calculated values. Samples are introduced via syringe or capillary injections with the IRMA Capillary Collection Device. The minimum sample volumes are 200uL from a syringe injection and 125uL from a Capillary Collection Device injection. Other capillary collection devices which require aspiration are not compatible with the system. The cartridges utilize microelectrode technology for the measurement of the following blood analytes: pH, pCO2, pO2, sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, and hematocrit. The principles of measurement are similar to traditional electrode methodologies for blood gas and electrolyte measurements. The pH, pCO2, Na*, K*, iCa**, BUN, and Cli utilize ion-selective potentiometric electrodes including a reference electrode. The pO2 electrode is an amperometric Clark electrode. The hematocrit sensor utilizes a conductivity electrode.

7 . System Description and Statement of Substantial Equivalence

System Description

The current IRMA Blood Analysis System comprises a system of an electronic instrument and disposable cartridges (single-use or multi-use) intended for the measurement of blood gases (pCO2 and pO2), pH, potassium, sodium, ionized calcium, and hematocrit in blood.

The new system will measure the above mentioned analytes plus blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and chloride (Cl) in blood on the single-use cartridge. Except for the addition of these two analytes and their associated changes, the system will remain the same as the current system. A description of the new system follows.

The IRMA analyzer can use either battery or AC power. The system's operation utilizes a microprocessor which is controlled by internal electronics and diagnostics. The microprocessor controls the touch screen, analog electronics which collect the digital signals from the sensors and the controls the printer. The printer provides a hard copy of the measured and calculated values.

Samples are introduced via syringe or capillary injections with the IRMA Capillary Collection Device. The minimum sample volumes are 200uL from a syringe injection and 125uL from a Capillary Collection Device injection. Other capillary collection devices which require aspiration are not compatible with the system.

The cartridges utilize microelectrode technology for the measurement of the following blood analytes: pH, pCO2, pO2, sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, and hematocrit.

The principles of measurement are similar to traditional electrode methodologies for blood gas and electrolyte measurements. The pH, pCO2, Na*, K*, iCa**, BUN, and Cli utilize ion-selective potentiometric electrodes including a reference electrode. The pO2 electrode is an amperometric Clark electrode. The hematocrit sensor utilizes a conductivity electrode. Further description of the principles of operation for the electrodes can be found in the draft labeling of the user manual.

Calibration

The IRMA sensors are calibrated prior to each test using a calibrant prepackaged over the sensors. The calibrant is manufactured and tested with NIST traceable gases and salt standards. Calibration of the cartridge is completed when information determined at the factory for each lot of cartridges is combined with measurements taken during the calibration process. Factory derived calibration parameters are input into the analyzer by calibration code entry.

Throughout the calibration and analysis process, signals from the sensors are analyzed. If any abnormal conditions are detected, an error message is generated and the test will be terminated. If there are no abnormal conditions, then the sample results (measured and calculated) are displayed after successful calibration and analysis. In addition, the user has the option to print a hard copy of the results.

The user may also output the stored data via a RS232 serial port to IDMS ( IRMA Data Management System) or to a LIS.

Cartridge operation

Upon insertion of the cartridge, the user will enter a calibration code and the software's checksums will determine whether the code is appropriate for that cartridge type. Screen prompts will guide the user through the calibration process and sample analysis

For a more detailed description of the sample sequence refer to Section 2 of the User Manual Draft Labeling which is located in Appendix D.

Intended Use Comparison

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* , Cl; BUN, and Hct in whole blood are performed such as the clinical laboratory or the patient bedside.

Substantial Equivalence

This notification demonstrates that the IRMA Blood Analysis System's BUN and Cl sensors are substantially equivalent to several other commercially cleared products: Johnson and Johnson Vitros Chemistry System DT6011 (BUN) and the Buchler Digital Chloridometer (CI).

The IRMA and Vitros analysis systems are similar in that both systems are intended for the measurement of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) by enzymatic methods which utilize an urease reaction. The IRMA and Buchler Digital Chloridometer systems are similar in that both systems are intended for the measurement of chloride by electrochemical methods.

The predicate systems and proposed IRMA Blood Analysis System are compared in Tables #1-2.

8 . Performance Characteristics: Supporting data for Substantial Equivalence

This section provides blood and aqueous data generated in-house using the IRMA Blood Analysis System's chloride and BUN sensors. The samples used in the study were spiked heparinized blood and prepared aqueous standards.

  • A. Accuracy Data
    To determine chloride and BUN accuracy of the IRMA Blood Analysis, split sample studies were conducted using whole blood samples measured by both the IRMA system and a reference method (refer to Table #3). The method of least squares was used to determine the best fit line. Testing was conducted by three laboratory personnel. The IRMA system was cleared in a previous 510k submission for use by non-laboratory personnel therefore this submission does not include data by non-laboratory personnel such as nurses. The heparinized whole blood samples were prepared by spiking with varying concentrations of electrolytes to allow testing throughout the reportable range.

The data shown below in Table #4 and the x-y plots located in Appendix A indicate substantial equivalence between CI- and BUN sensors on the IRMA Blood Analysis System and the predicate devices.

11. Safety and Effectiveness

The addition of the CI- and BUN sensors to the IRMA Blood Analysis System has not been found to interfere or cause any adverse effects with the operation of the IRMA instrument or other nearby equipment. There are no additional risks to the patient or user when cartridges containing these sensors are utilized with the IRMA system.

The IRMA Blood Analysis System has already been certified to the required electrical and EMI safety specifications of medical equipment such as UL 2601-1 and UL 2601-2 (or equivalent).

11. Software Information

The IRMA Blood Analysis System's software has been developed, tested and will be validated in accordance with Diametrics' software development procedures and where applicable, the FDA's Reviewer's Guide to Computer Controlled Medical Devices (August, 1991). Based on the criteria of this document, our product is perceived to be of a low level of concern. Below is a description of the software development process.

Software requirements are developed based on approved product design requirements. All design specifications are reviewed for consistency and accuracy with respect to one another and a software hazard analysis is performed. The software hazard analysis for this product is located in Table #9. The software code is developed from the approved software requirements. Software revisions are maintained under a software version control system.

Software test plans and procedures are developed based on the software requirements specifications. Related software requirements are grouped to form the basis of test procedures. Each functional requirement (or group of requirements) is translated into a functional test and is included in a test procedure. These procedures are designed to ensure that functional requirements are met, software related system specifications fulfilled and software safety features adequately tested.

Code inspections and walk-throughs are performed by software engineers not involved in the code development in order to detect design flaws and validate software logic where functional testing is insufficient.

Written test procedures are executed and the results are reviewed to ensure that acceptance criteria have been met.

Software testing is also conducted in a less structured environment (free-form testing) by technicians and users under a variety of conditions in an attempt to "break" the software,

Considerable attention is applied to system safety throughout the verification. validation and testing of the software. A system hazard analysis which is done in the early development phase of the product is reviewed and updated as required. Safety requirements are identified in the hazard analysis and incorporated into the design specifications and tests via functional procedures. Potential error and exception conditions are also identified and tested. Stress conditions are also tested during the verification and validation phase.

All events identified as potential hazards for the IRMA Blood Analysis System have been addressed through hardware, software, or product labeling.

Changes to software requirements are documented, reviewed and approved. Each revision of the software is reviewed and evaluated for complete functionality and impact to the hazard analysis. New revisions are subjected to the same tests as the previous version. Revisions to areas that do not affect calculations may be regression tested. Each version of the software released to manufacturing will be archived with a list of the changes and validation data.
