Intended Use
The Uric Acid assay is used for the quantitation of uric acid in serum, plasma, or urine. Measurements of uric acid are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders, including renal failure, gout, leukemia, psoriasis, starvation or other wasting conditions, and of patients receiving cytotoxic drugs.
Device Description
Uric Acid is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of uric acid in human serum, plasma, or urine. The Uric Acid assay is a clinical chemistry assay in which uric acid is oxidized to allantoin by uricase with the production of hydrogen peroxide. The peroxide reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine and TBHB in the presence of peroxidase to vield a quinoneimine dye. The resulting change in absorbance at 548 nm is proportional to the uric acid concentration in the sample.

No
The device description details a standard clinical chemistry assay based on enzymatic reactions and spectrophotometry. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the provided text. The performance studies focus on standard analytical metrics like correlation, precision, and linearity, not AI/ML-specific metrics.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of uric acid, which aids in diagnosis and treatment monitoring, but it does not directly provide therapy or therapeutic effect.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Measurements of uric acid are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders," indicating its role in diagnosis. The "Device Description" also labels it as an "in vitro diagnostic assay."

No

The device description clearly describes a chemical assay that involves reagents and a measurement of absorbance, indicating a hardware component (likely a spectrophotometer or similar device) is required to perform the test. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states the assay is "used for the quantitation of uric acid in serum, plasma, or urine" and that these measurements are "used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders." This clearly indicates the device is intended for use on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description states, "Uric Acid is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of uric acid in human serum, plasma, or urine." This directly identifies the device as an in vitro diagnostic assay.
  • Predicate Device: The document lists a "Predicate Device" which is another IVD assay (Boehringer Mannheim® Uric Acid assay on the Hitachi® 717 Analyzer). This further supports the classification of this device as an IVD.

The core function of the device is to analyze biological samples (serum, plasma, urine) outside of the body ("in vitro") to provide information used for diagnosis and treatment, which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the AEROSET™ System. The Uric Acid assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Boehringer Mannheim Uric Acid assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer. The correlation coefficient = 0.9990, slope = 1.074 and the Y-intercept = 0.134 mg/dL for serum. For the urine application, the correlation coefficient = 0.9973, slope = 0.999, and the Y-intercept = 0.184 mg/dL. Precision studies were conducted using the Uric Acid assay. Within-run, between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. For the serum application, the total %CV for Level 1/Panel 101 is 2.3% and Level 2/Panel 102 is 1.3%. For the urine application, the total %CV for Level 1/Panel 201 is 3.1% and Level 2/Panel 202 is 1.8%. The Uric Acid assay is linear up to 33.1 mg/dL for the serum application and 433.8 mg/dL for urine. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) of the Uric Acid assay is 0.2 mg/dL. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Uric Acid assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Boehringer Mannheim Uric Acid assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer.
