The summary describes a standard in vitro diagnostic test cartridge and analyzer that uses dry film technology to measure magnesium concentration. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The performance studies focus on standard analytical metrics like accuracy, precision, and method comparison.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test that measures magnesium levels to aid in diagnosis and treatment, but it does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
The device is explicitly stated for "in vitro diagnostic use" and is intended "to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypomagnesemia or hypermagnesmia."
No
The device description explicitly mentions a "single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge" and its interaction with the "CARESIDE Analyzer™", indicating the presence of physical 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".
- Specimen Type: It measures magnesium from "anti-coagulated whole blood, plasma, or serum specimens," which are biological samples taken from the body for testing in vitro (outside the body).
- Purpose: The purpose is to "quantitatively measure magnesium... to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients," which is a core function of IVD devices.
- Device Description: The "Device Description" refers to the cartridge as a "single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge."

Device Description
CARESIDE™ Mg cartridges are used with the CARESIDE, Inc. CARESIDE Analyzer™ to measure magnesium in anti-coagulated whole blood, plasma or serum specimens. The CARESIDE™ Mg cartridge, a single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge, delivers a measured volume of plasma or serum to a dry film to initiate the measurement of magnesium concentration. The film cartridge (patent pending) contains all reagents necessary to measure magnesium concentration.
Each CARESIDE™ Mg cartridge consists of a magnesium-specific multi-layer reagent film mounted in a plastic base with a hinged lid. The user introduces the 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 speciment to 37°C, and spins the cartridge to move the sample from the Sample Well into the cartridge channels and chambers. 8.5 μL microliters of sample remains in the metering passage. Any excess sample flows into the Overflow Well.
The sample is automatically dispensed onto the multi-layer film. The spreading layer distributes the sample evenly on the film before it moves onto a reaction layer where magnesium in the sample complexes with ATP to serve as a substrate in the glycerol kinase (GK) catalyzed reaction with glycerol to form L-a-glycerol-3-phosphate. Hydrogen peroxide (H202) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DAP) is formed in a glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO) catalyzed reaction of L-α-glycerol-3-phosphate (L-a-GP) with oxygen. The H202 produced reacts with a leuco dye in a peroxidase (POD) catalyzed reaction to form a green dye. The rate of change of the color intensity of the dye, as measured by the time course of reflected light at 655 nanometers, and directly relates to the magnesium concentration of the specimen.
As the cartridges spin, a photodiode measures reflectance of light emitted by a wavelength-specific light emitting diode (LED) over a fixed time period. The analyzer uses the reflectance measurements and the lot-specific standard curve to calculate the magnesium concentration.

B. Test Summary
Magnesium has essential functions intracellularly, extracellularly, and in the skeleton in the human body. Intracellularly, magnesium is a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes. Magnesium is needed for the physiological processes of oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, cell replication, nucleotide metabolism, and protein biosynthesis. Extracellularly, magnesium is involved in the regulation of nerve conduction and neuromuscular transmission. Magnesium is incorporated into the mineral lattice of the About one-third of the skeletal magnesium is exchangeable with the skeleton. extracellular fluid which in turn serves as a source for maintaining intracellular magnesium.
Magnesium deficiency is a very common sign in a variety of diseases. Causes of hypomagnesemia include gastrointestinal disorders, renal disease, alcohol and other drugs, metabolic acidosis, diabetes mellitus, increased sodium or calcium excretion, and phosphate depletion. Hypomagnesemia most commonly presents with neuromuscular hyperexcitability, although the features of the primary disease process causing the magnesium deficiency may mask the signs and symptoms.
Hypermagnesemia is encountered less commonly than hypomagnesemia. Causes of hypermagnesemia include excessive magnesium intake, renal failure, familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, and lithium ingestion. Hypermagnesemia most commonly presents with neuromuscular symptoms, such as the disappearance of the deep tendon reflex.
