Intended Use
Sigma Diagnostics ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent (A8713/A4589) is a device intended to measure fibrinogen concentration and to detect fibrin or fibrinogen split products for the evaluation of bleeding disorders.
Device Description
Sigma Diagnostics' ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent is intended for use as a screening procedure to detect functional fibrinogen and thrombin inhibitors such as heparin, in citrated plasma. The ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent provides thrombin for fibrinogen hydrolysis and is able to detect normal fibrinogen function even in the presence of severe coagulation abnormalities such as hemophilia (Factor VIII or Factor IX deficiency) or a decrease in factor levels associated with vitamin K deficiency.

The summary describes a chemical reagent used in laboratory testing and does not mention any computational or algorithmic components indicative of AI/ML.

No
This device is for diagnostic purposes, measuring fibrinogen concentration and detecting fibrin/fibrinogen split products to evaluate bleeding disorders, rather than treating or preventing disease.

Yes

The device is intended to measure fibrinogen concentration and detect fibrin or fibrinogen split products for the evaluation of bleeding disorders, which is a diagnostic purpose. It is also used as a screening procedure to detect functional fibrinogen and thrombin inhibitors.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reagent," which is a chemical substance used in a laboratory test. This indicates a physical component, not a software-only device. The performance studies also describe laboratory testing procedures involving plasma samples and comparisons to other reagents and instruments.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's "intended to measure fibrinogen concentration and to detect fibrin or fibrinogen split products for the evaluation of bleeding disorders." This involves testing biological samples (plasma) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status (bleeding disorders).
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies its use "in citrated plasma" and its purpose as a "screening procedure to detect functional fibrinogen and thrombin inhibitors." This confirms it's used to analyze a biological sample in vitro.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing the reagent with "normal and abnormal plasma samples," which are biological samples tested in vitro.

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

Abnormal thrombin clotting times occur in cases of hypofibrinogenemia. afibrinogenemia, or dysfibrinogenemia. The TT is also prolonged in the presence of inhibitors such as heparin, myeloma proteins and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, which block either thrombin cleavage of fibrinopeptides or fibrin monomer polymerization. 3-5

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

The safety and effectiveness of the Sigma Diagnostics' ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent has been demonstrated by showing its substantial equivalence to Organon's Thromboquik™ Thrombin Time Reagent. Both Thrombin Time reagents were compared using normal and abnormal plasma samples. Sigma's ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent (y) was used on an Amelung KC-4A, an CS-190 (optically and mechanically) and Organon Teknika's AMAX Thromboquik™ (x) was used on a photo-optical analyzer, the Coag-A-Mate X2.

Results of these correlation studies are presented in the table below.

AMAX MechanicalY=2.87x-18.100.972101

Precision studies demonstrated a within run CV of less than 7% and a total precision of less than 6%, using normal and abnormal control plasmas.

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

Sigma Diagnostics' ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent is sensitive to heparin levels corresponding to 0.2 heparin U/mL and up to at least 0.8 heparin U/mL. The reagent also, demonstrated sensitivity for abnormal low fibrinogen levels starting at 98 mg/dL fibrinogen.

Summarv of Safety and Effectiveness

ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent (Product No. A8713, A4589)

Sigma Diagnostics' ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent is intended for use as a screening procedure to detect functional fibrinogen and thrombin inhibitors such as heparin, in citrated plasma.

The thrombin clotting time (TT) is an important screening procedure for disorders of thrombosis and hemostasis as well as the presence of heparin.1-3 Thrombin Time testing is a rapid assay procedure that measures the polymerization of fibrinogen to fibrin. Any interference with this conversion will be reflected in a prolongation in the clotting time of the test procedure.

The ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent provides thrombin for fibrinogen hydrolysis and is able to detect normal fibrinogen function even in the presence of severe coagulation abnormalities such as hemophilia (Factor VIII or Factor IX deficiency) or a decrease in factor levels associated with vitamin K deficiency. Abnormal thrombin clotting times occur in cases of hypofibrinogenemia. afibrinogenemia, or dysfibrinogenemia. The TT is also prolonged in the presence of inhibitors such as heparin, myeloma proteins and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, which block either thrombin cleavage of fibrinopeptides or fibrin monomer polymerization. 3-5

Sigma Diagnostics' ATROXIN® assay (Catalog # 845-2) can provide data to rule out the presence of heparin in samples with elongated thrombin clotting times.

The safety and effectiveness of the Sigma Diagnostics' ACCUCLOT™ Thrombin Time Reagent has been demonstrated by showing its substantial equivalence to Organon's Thromboquik™ Thrombin Time Reagent.
