No
The device description clearly outlines a physical cartridge and an analyzer, both of which are hardware components essential for the device's function. The software is part of the analyzer, but the device as a whole is not software-only.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states the device is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use." It also describes its purpose as measuring total bilirubin in biological specimens (whole blood, plasma, or serum) to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions.
- Device Description: The description details how the device interacts with a biological specimen (blood, plasma, or serum) outside of the body to perform a test. It describes a "single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge."
- Function: The device measures a specific analyte (total bilirubin) in a biological sample using chemical reactions and optical measurements, which is a hallmark of in vitro diagnostics.
The information provided clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
CARESIDE™ Total Bilirubin cartridges are used with the CARESIDE™ Analyzer to quantitatively measure the total concentration of bilirubin in anti-coagulated whole blood, plasma or serum specimens. The CARESIDE™ Total Bilirubin cartridge, a single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge, aids in specimen separation and delivers a measured volume of plasma or serum to a dry film to initiate the measurement of the total concentration of bilirubin. The film cartridge (patent pending) contains all reagents necessary to measure the total concentration of bilirubin.
Each CARESIDE™ Total Bilirubin cartridge consists of a bilirubin-specific multi-layer reagent film mounted in a plastic base with a hinged lid. The user introduces the anticoagulated whole blood, serum, or plasma specimen into the cartridge sample deposition well, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the CARESIDE™ Analyzer.
Once loaded, the CARESIDE™ analyzer scans the cartridge barcode, brings the cartridge and the contained specimen to 37℃, and spins the cartridge to move the sample from the sample deposition well into the cartridge channels and chambers. As the cartridge continues to spin, the blood cells are separated from the plasma/serum and the cells accumulate in the separation well. Approximately ten microliters of plasma (or serum, as applicable) remain in the metering passage. Excess sample flows into an overflow well.
The plasma (or serum, as applicable) is automatically dispensed onto the multi-layer reagent film. The spreading and reaction layer distributes the sample evenly on the film and dissociates the unconjugated bilirubin from albumin. Conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin reacts with 2,4-dichlorobenzene diazonium salt to form a red azo dye. The color intensity, as measured by the amount of light reflected at 505 nanometers, directly relates to the total concentration of bilirubin in the specimen.
As the cartridge spins, a photodiodes measures reflectance of light emitted from a wavelength-specific light emitting diode (LED) at a fixed time. The analyzer uses the reflectance measurements and the lot-specific standard curve to calculate the total bilirubin concentration.

IV. Device Description
CARESIDE™ Total Bilirubin cartridges are used with the CARESIDE™ Analyzer to quantitatively measure the total concentration of bilirubin in anti-coagulated whole blood, plasma or serum specimens. The CARESIDE™ Total Bilirubin cartridge, a single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge, aids in specimen separation and delivers a measured volume of plasma or serum to a dry film to initiate the measurement of the total concentration of bilirubin. The film cartridge (patent pending) contains all reagents necessary to measure the total concentration of bilirubin.
Explanation of Device Function A.
Each CARESIDE™ Total Bilirubin cartridge consists of a bilirubin-specific multi-layer reagent film mounted in a plastic base with a hinged lid. The user introduces the anticoagulated whole blood, serum, or plasma specimen into the cartridge sample deposition well, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the CARESIDE™ Analyzer.
Once loaded, the CARESIDE™ analyzer scans the cartridge barcode, brings the cartridge and the contained specimen to 37℃, and spins the cartridge to move the sample from the sample deposition well into the cartridge channels and chambers. As the cartridge continues to spin, the blood cells are separated from the plasma/serum and the cells accumulate in the separation well. Approximately ten microliters of plasma (or serum, as applicable) remain in the metering passage. Excess sample flows into an overflow well.
The plasma (or serum, as applicable) is automatically dispensed onto the multi-layer reagent film. The spreading and reaction layer distributes the sample evenly on the film and dissociates the unconjugated bilirubin from albumin. Conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin reacts with 2,4-dichlorobenzene diazonium salt to form a red azo dye. The color intensity, as measured by the amount of light reflected at 505 nanometers, directly relates to the total concentration of bilirubin in the specimen.
Test Reaction Sequence:
Image /page/2/Figure/9 description: This image shows a reaction scheme. Direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin react with 2,4-dichlorobenzen diazonium salt in a reaction of diazo. This reaction produces a red azo dye. Dyphilline is also present in the reaction.
As the cartridge spins, a photodiodes measures reflectance of light emitted from a wavelength-specific light emitting diode (LED) at a fixed time. The analyzer uses the reflectance measurements and the lot-specific standard curve to calculate the total bilirubin concentration.
B. Test Summary
Bilirubin is formed by the reticuloendothelial system as a by-product of the breakdown of hemoglobin. Bilirubin circulates in multiple forms: (1) unconjugated, also known as indirect, bilirubin which circulates non-covalently bound to albumin, (2) direct or conjugated bilirubin that is covalently bound to glucuronic acid, and (3) covalently protein bonded bilirubin. Conjugated bilirubin, excreted into the bile by the liver, gives the bile its major pigmentation.
In healthy individuals, a small amount of bilirubin is found in the serum. An increase in unconjugated bilirubin is more frequently associated with increased destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis); and an increase in conjugated bilirubin is more likely seen in dysfunction of the liver or bile ducts.
Total bilirubin may be measured as part of a routine examination. A normal level of total bilirubin rules out any significant impairment of the excretory function of the liver or excessive hemolysis of red blood cells. Only when the total bilirubin levels are elevated is it indicated to determine the direct bilirubin level in order to discriminate between the

relative levels of conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin levels above 2.5 mg/dL are associated with jaundice.
