Intended Use
The Albumin BCG assay is used for the quantitation of albumin in human serum. Albumin measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases involving primarily the liver or kidneys.
Device Description
Albumin BCG is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of albumin human serum. The Albumin BCG assay is a clinical chemistry assay in which the analyte in the sample binds specifically to bromcresol green to produce a colored complex. The absorbance at 600 nm of the complex is directly proportional to the albumin concentration in the sample.

No
The description focuses on a standard clinical chemistry assay based on a colorimetric reaction and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of albumin in human serum, which aids in diagnosis and treatment, but it does not directly provide therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "Albumin measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases involving primarily the liver or kidneys." This explicitly indicates the device's role in diagnosis. The "Device Description" also specifies it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay".

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay that involves a chemical reaction and measurement of absorbance, indicating it is a physical kit or reagent, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use / Indications for Use: The description explicitly states the assay is "used for the quantitation of albumin in human serum" and that these measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases". This clearly indicates the device is intended for use in examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies that it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of albumin human serum". It describes the mechanism of action (binding to bromcresol green) which is a common method used in in vitro diagnostic tests.
  • Predicate Device(s): The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K81194) and the name "Boehringer Mannheim® Albumin BCG assay" strongly suggests that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device, which is a standard process for demonstrating substantial equivalence for new IVD submissions.

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

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the ALCYON™ Analyzer. The Albumin BCG assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Boehringer Mannheim Albumin BCG assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer. The correlation coefficient = 0.9864, slope = 0.844, and the Y-intercept = 0.699 g/dL. Precision studies were conducted using the Albumin BCG assay. Within-run, between-run, and between day studies were performed using two levels of control material. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 111 is 2.1% and Level 2/Panel 112 is 2.3%. The Albumin BCG assay is linear up to 7.0 g/dL. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) of the Albumin BCG assay is 0.2 g/dL. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Albumin BCG assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Boehringer Mannheim Albumin BCG assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

The correlation coefficient = 0.9864, slope = 0.844, and the Y-intercept = 0.699 g/dL. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 111 is 2.1% and Level 2/Panel 112 is 2.3%. The Albumin BCG assay is linear up to 7.0 g/dL. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) of the Albumin BCG assay is 0.2 g/dL.
