Intended Use
Osteomark NTx Point of Care (POC) is a urinary assay for the quantitative measure of the excretion of cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen (NTx) normalized to urinary creatinine (nM Bone Collagen Equivalents/mM creatinine). The test is used to monitor bone resorption changes following initiation of antiresorptive therapy (e.g., hormone replacement therapy).
Device Description
The Osteomark® NTx POC device is a single-use, disposable four-channel reflectance photometer integrated with dry reagent chemistry strips and contained within a sealed plastic case. Each unit consists of: - an optics subassembly that also supports the reagent strips . - electronics, batteries, photodetectors, and light emitting diodes (LEDs). ● - . plastic parts - two reagent strips ● - a desiccant ● - a liquid crystal display (LCD) ● The reagent strips capillary transport with various chemical reactions. The first strip is an immunoassay for measuring the NTx, and the second strip is a general chemistry assay for measuring the creatinine. In both strips, a blue color is measured in discrete test zones. The test zones are the areas where the specific reaction occurs and concentrations are measured. The NTx reaction proceeds as follows: anti-NTx antibody, conjugated to blue microparticles, migrate across the strip upon the addition of urine sample. The amount of blue microparticles captured on the test zones is proportional to the amount of NTx in the sample. The creatinine reaction proceeds as follows: the addition of the urine sample solubilizes enzymes immobilized in the strip test zones. A cascade of enzymatic reactions mediates the production of hydrogen peroxide from the oxidation of creatinine. In the presence of horseradish peroxidase and a color indicator, a blue color is generated from the hydrogen peroxide with an intensity proportional to the concentration of creatinine in the sample. The LEDs and silicon photodetectors compare the reflectances of the color intensities before and after the sample addition. Based on the calibration parameters stored in memory, the numerical concentrations of NTx and creatinine are calculated. Assay results are expressed in nM Bone Collagen Equivalents (BCE) divided by mM creatinine (nM BCE/mM creatinine).

The device description details a reflectance photometer and chemical reactions to measure concentrations based on color intensity and stored calibration parameters. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation.

No
The device is a diagnostic tool designed to monitor bone resorption changes by measuring specific markers in urine. It does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes
The device is described as a "urinary assay for the quantitative measure" of specific markers used to "monitor bone resorption changes following initiation of antiresorptive therapy," indicating its use in diagnosing or monitoring a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including optics, electronics, batteries, photodetectors, LEDs, plastic parts, reagent strips, a desiccant, and an LCD. It is a physical device that performs chemical reactions and optical measurements.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is a "urinary assay for the quantitative measure of the excretion of cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen (NTx) normalized to urinary creatinine". This involves testing a sample (urine) taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state (bone resorption).
  • Device Description: The description details a device that performs chemical reactions on a biological sample (urine) using reagent strips to measure specific analytes (NTx and creatinine). This is a core characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing urine samples and comparing the results to predicate methods, which is standard practice for validating IVD performance.
  • Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices (K961562 Osteomark® NTx EIA and K854766 Creatinine Plus) which are also IVDs further supports that this device falls into the same category.

The device performs tests in vitro (outside the body) on a biological specimen (urine) to provide diagnostic information (monitoring bone resorption changes).

807.92 (s)(3): Identification of the legally marketed predicate device

Osteomark® NTx POC is substantially equivalent to two commercially available predicate devices; Osteomark® NTx EIA (Ostex International Inc., Seattle, WA), is a stand-alone NTx kit, and is the predicate device for the numerator of the ratio. Creatinine Plus (Boehringer-Mannheim Corporation [Roche], Indianapolis, IN) is a creatinine assay, and is the predicate device for the denominator value. Osteomark® NTx POC reports a single corrected result (NTx/creatinine), while Osteomark NTx EIA requires a separate creatinine determination (no method specified) in order to report the final corrected result.

Studies were conducted that evaluated both NTx and creatinine for analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity, and linearity. The sensitivity of the NTx portion of the device was shown to be 30 nM BCE, while the sensitivity of the creatinine was shown to be 2 mM.

いー・バー・バー・バー

Osteomark® NTx POC results were not affected (differences less than 15%) by the addition of most potential interferents such as biological compounds, therapeutic agents, or microorganisms found routinely in urine. Interference was noted with very high levels of calcium (> 4mg/mL), chloride (> 300 mM), and C. albicans and E. coli (both 1.5 x 103).

Linearity studies confirmed dynamic ranges of 30 nM to 1300 nM for NTx, and 2 mM to 25 mM for creatinine.

807.92 (b)(2): Brief Description of Clinical Data

Accuracy was evaluated by comparative testing between Osteomark® NTx POC and the two predicate methods (NTx and creatinine). Two hundred thirty-five (235) urine samples were assayed by Osteomark® NTx POC among three "POLtype" clinical sites, and by the predicate methods at the reference laboratory. The data are summarized below (laboratory methods = X-axis).

CLINICAL LINEAR REGRESSION DATA

Precision testing was performed by three physician office laboratory (POL) sites. Each site tested two levels of NTx/creatinine ratios five times a day over four days. From this testing, the total pooled imprecision was calculated at each of the two levels. The percent coefficient of variation (%CV) at the lower level (approximately 25 nM BCE/mM creatinine) was 13.3% (within-day range 7.5% to 22.1%, n = 5), and the %CV at the higher level (approximately 100 nM BCE/mM creatinine) was 12.8% (within-day range 4.0% to 20.4%, n = 5).

Use of DRx® NTx to Monitor the Effect of Antiresorptive Therapy (HRT)

Retained samples from a published study with HRT-treated women (n = 50, 200 samples) were tested with the Osteomark® NTx POC device to determine its ability to measure the expected decrease in NTx concentration following antiresorptive therapy. Prior to HRT initiation, NTx mean baseline values were 67 nM BCE/mM creatinine, significantly higher than the premenopausal mean of 44 nM BCE/mM creatinine. Mean NTx values fell significantly after 6 months of therapy to 33 nM BCE/mM creatinine, a 48% decrease from baseline. Osteomark® NTx POC values were correlated to the laboratory method, Osteomark NTx EIA, throughout the study (r = 0.66, at baseline; r = 0.46, at 12 months). Significant correlations were also observed between the percent change in spine BMD at 1 year and the percent change in Osteomark® NTx POC from baseline to 6 months (r = - 0.33).

807.92 (b)(3): Conclusions from Nonclinical and Clinical Testing

Studies demonstrated substantial equivalence of Osteomark® NTx POC in terms of accuracy and precision to existing products already being marketed. Sensitivity and linearity studies confirmed the assay's reportable range, and cross reactivity studies confirmed the assay's specificity.
