The description focuses on the mechanical, optical, and timing mechanisms for detecting clot formation. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.
No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic device used to measure prothrombin time, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use." The device measures prothrombin time to detect possible clotting deficiencies or monitor patients on anticoagulant therapy, which are diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical cartridge and an analyzer that performs mechanical and optical functions to measure prothrombin time. This involves hardware components beyond just software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use". It describes the device's purpose as measuring prothrombin time from biological samples (citrated whole blood or citrated plasma) to detect clotting deficiencies or monitor anticoagulant therapy. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a "single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge" that contains reagents and is used with an analyzer to perform a test on a biological sample. This further confirms its nature as an IVD.
- Sample Type: The device uses biological samples (whole blood or plasma) for testing, which is characteristic of IVD devices.
- Testing Method: The device performs a test (measuring prothrombin time) on the sample to provide diagnostic information.
The information provided clearly indicates that this device is designed and intended for use in performing diagnostic tests on biological samples outside of the body, which is the core function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
CARESIDE™ PT cartridges are used with the CARESIDE Analyzer™ to measure prothrombin time in citrated plasma with the sample applied either as citrated whole blood or citrated plasma. The CARESIDE™ PT cartridge, a single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge, aids in specimen separation and delivers a measured volume of plasma to a cartridge cuvette to initiate the measurement of prothrombin time. The cartridge (patent pending) contains all reagents necessary to measure prothrombin time.
Each CARESIDE™ PT cartridge consists of a cuvette with dried recombinant rabbit tissue factor with calcium ions mounted in a plastic cartridge with a hinged lid. The user opens the pouch, introduces the citrated whole blood or citrated plasma specimen into the cartridge Sample 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 Well into the cartridge channels and chambers. As the cartridge continues to spin. the blood cells are separated from the plasma and the cells accumulate in the separation well. Forty microliters of citrated plasma remain in the metering passage. Any excess sample flows into an overflow well. Once the analyzer completes any other tests, the sample is added to begin the coagulation test. The metered volume of sample is dispensed into the cuvette by a plunger that displaces a flexible seal that covers the Sample Well while a second plunger seals the cartridge vent. As the flexible seal is displaced, air is forced through the metering passage, forcing the sample out and into the cuvette to mix with the reagent. The cuvette is then positioned over an LED and the coagulation event is optically monitored. An onboard timer measures the coagulation time.
Photodiodes monitor the amount of scattered light transmitted by a 570 nanometer light emitting diode to optically monitor the progress of the clot formation. The time at which a clot is detected is reported as the prothrombin time. The results are also reported as the prothrombin ratio (% PT/mean normal PT reference interval) or as the INR (International Normalized Ratio).

Photodiodes monitor the amount of scattered light transmitted by a 570 nanometer light emitting diode to optically monitor the progress of the clot formation. The time at which a clot is detected is reported as the prothrombin time. The results are also reported as the prothrombin ratio (% PT/mean normal PT reference interval) or as the INR (International Normalized Ratio).
- B. Test Summary
The prothrombin time is a screening test for the extrinsic and common coagulation pathway that was originally described by Quick in 1935. The prothrombin time test is sensitive to the coagulation factor abnormalities and to factor inhibitors affecting coagulation II, V, VII, and X, plus proteins C and S. Each component of the prothrombin reagents (calcium ions, tissue factor, and phospholipids) is required to initiate clotting. Differences among PT reagent preparations affect their sensitivity to reductions in coagulation factors. Accordingly, PT reagents are characterized by an international sensitivity index (ISI).
Various methods have been used historically to report and interpret prothrombin time results in order to account for differences in thromboplastin sensitivity. For example, prothrombin time results have been expressed as the ratio between a patient's prothrombin time and the mean normal prothrombin time reference interval.
2
Prothrombin time results are also reported as the International Normalized Ratio as recommended by the International Committee on Thrombosis and Hemostasis and the International Council for Standardization in Hematology. The INR is the equivalent PT ratio that would be obtained if the appropriate International Reference Preparation (ISI = 1.0. World Health Organization) were used as the source of thromboplastin in the performance of the prothrombin time.
The time required for the formation of a fibrin clot provides information regarding the presence and activity of coagulation factors I (fibrinogen), II, V, VII, and X. The factors II. VII. and X are dependent upon the co-factor vitamin K for activation by posttranslational carboxylation. The prothrombin time may be increased in patients with hepatic disease, vitamin K deficiency or in patients on vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant therapy such as warfarin. Likewise, significant alterations in the intake of vitamin K will affect the prothrombin time.
