Intended Use
The Albumin BCG assay is used for the quantitation of albumin in serum and plasma. 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 in human serum or plasma. 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 628 nm of the complex is directly proportional to the albumin concentration in the sample.

Not Found

No
The description details a standard clinical chemistry assay based on a chemical reaction and absorbance measurement, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of albumin in human serum or plasma, which aids in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, rather than providing direct therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay is "used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases". Also, the "Device Description" identifies it as an "in vitro diagnostic assay".

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay, which is a chemical test performed on biological samples, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitation of albumin in serum and plasma" and that these measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose using biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies that it is an "in vitro diagnostic assay" for the "quantitative determination of albumin in human serum or plasma." This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the assay's performance using control material and comparing it to a predicate device, which is typical for validating an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K81194; Boehringer Mannheim® Albumin BCG assay on the Hitachi® 717 Analyzer) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory clearance as an IVD, as predicate devices are used to demonstrate substantial equivalence for IVD submissions.

All these points collectively confirm that the Albumin BCG assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

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

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the AEROSET™ System. The Albumin BCG assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Boehringer Mannheim Albumin BCG assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer. The correlation coefficient = 0.9935, slope = 0.893, and Y-intercept = 0.643 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 101 is 0.8% and Level 2/Panel 102 is 0.9%. The Albumin BCG assay is linear up to 11.8 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.
