Intended Use
The Ultegra Rapid Platelet Function Assay (RPFA) is a semi-quantitative, whole blood platelet function assay used to measure glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor blockade in patients treated with abciximab. Ultegra RPFA results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data available to the clinician.
Device Description
The Ultegra System is a turbidimetric based optical detection system which measures platelet induced aggregation as an increase in light transmittance. The system consists of a stand-alone analyzer and disposable test cartridge with reagents based on microbead agglutination technology. The quality control system includes an electronic control and two levels of liquid control. The analyzer controls assay sequencing, establishes the assay temperature, controls the reagent-sample mixing for the required duration, determines the degree of platelet function, displays the results and status information to the user, and performs self-diagnostics. The test cartridge contains a lyophilized preparation of human fibrinogen coated beads, thrombin receptor activating peptide (iso-TRAP), buffer, and preservative. The patient sample is citrated whole blood, which is automatically dispensed from the blood collection tube into the test cartridge by the analyzer, with no blood handling required by the user. The Ultegra RPFA is based upon the ability of activated platelets to bind fibrinogen. Fibrinogen coated microparticles agglutinate in whole blood in proportion to the number of unblocked platelet GP Ilb/IIIa receptors. The rate of microbead agglutination is more rapid and reproducible if platelets are activated. Therefore the reagent iso-TRAP is incorporated into the assay to induce platelet activation without fibrin formation. As activated platelets bind and agglutinate fibrinogen coated beads, there is an increase in light transmittance. The analyzer is designed to measure this change in optical signal due to agglutination.

The description focuses on a turbidimetric optical detection system and microbead agglutination technology, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is a semi-quantitative, whole blood platelet function assay used to measure glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor blockade, which is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, not a therapeutic device.

Yes

The device is designed to measure glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor blockade in patients treated with abciximab, providing specific laboratory data used in conjunction with other clinical information to assess a patient's condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a "stand-alone analyzer" and "disposable test cartridge with reagents," which are hardware components. The analyzer performs physical functions like controlling temperature, mixing, and optical detection.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's a "whole blood platelet function assay." This indicates it's used to test a biological sample (whole blood) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's condition (platelet function and GP IIb/IIIa receptor blockade).
  • Device Description: The description details a system that analyzes a patient sample (citrated whole blood) using reagents and optical detection to measure a biological process (platelet aggregation). This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Sample Type: The device uses "citrated whole blood," which is a biological specimen.
  • Measurement: It measures "glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor blockade" and "platelet function," which are biological parameters.
  • Comparison to Predicate: The comparison to the CHRONO-LOG Platelet Aggregometer, which is also an IVD, further supports its classification as an IVD.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Ultegra Rapid Platelet Function Assay (RPFA) is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The multi-center clinical trial was designed to study GP IIb/Illa receptor blockade in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving abciximab. Samples were obtained at four clinical sites from 120 patients at three time points: 1) Baseline, prior to abciximab administration; 2) During, witin 1 hour following post bolus administration to evaluate the effects of the abciximab bolus; and 2) Post, 24 hours post procedure or at the time of discharge. Samples were tested with the Ultegra RPFA and the CHRONO-LOG Platelet Aggregometer.

Summary of Performance Studies

Study Type: Multi-center clinical trial
Sample Size: 120 patients
Key Results: Correlation of the two methods (Ultegra RPFA and CHRONO-LOG Platelet Aggregometry) was evaluated using orthogonal regression. Slope = 2.91, Intercept = -48.58, Correlation (r) = 0.89. The results demonstrate that the performance of the Ultegra RPFA is correlated with the predicate device, CHRONO-LOG platelet aggregometer.

The Accumetrics Ultegra System Analyzer and Rapid Platelet Function Assay have been found to be substantially equivalent to CHRONO-LOG Corporation's Whole Blood Aggregometer (K830749) and CHRONO-PAR Reagent (K760198).

Device Description:

The Ultegra System is a turbidimetric based optical detection system which measures platelet induced aggregation as an increase in light transmittance. The system consists of a stand-alone analyzer and disposable test cartridge with reagents based on microbead agglutination technology. The quality control system includes an electronic control and two levels of liquid control. The analyzer controls assay sequencing, establishes the assay temperature, controls the reagent-sample mixing for the required duration, determines the degree of platelet function, displays the results and status information to the user, and performs self-diagnostics. The test cartridge contains a lyophilized preparation of human fibrinogen coated beads, thrombin receptor activating peptide (iso-TRAP), buffer, and preservative. The patient sample is citrated whole blood, which is automatically dispensed from the blood collection tube into the test cartridge by the analyzer, with no blood handling required by the user.

The Ulteara RPFA is based upon the ability of activated platelets to bind fibrinogen. Fibrinogen coated microparticles agglutinate in whole blood in proportion to the number

of unblocked platelet GP Ilb/IIIa receptors. The rate of microbead agglutination is more rapid and reproducible if platelets are activated. Therefore the reagent iso-TRAP is incorporated into the assay to induce platelet activation without fibrin formation. As activated platelets bind and agglutinate fibrinogen coated beads, there is an increase in light transmittance. The analyzer is designed to measure this change in optical signal due to agglutination.

Intended Use:

The Ultegra Rapid Platelet Function Assay (RPFA) is a semi-quantitative, whole blood platelet function assay used to measure glycoprotein (GP) IIb/Illa receptor blockade in patients treated with abciximab. Ultegra RPFA results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data available to the clinician.

This indication statement is more specific than the broader statement in the labeling for the CHRONO-LOG Whole Blood Aggregometer: "…measuring platelet aggregation in whole blood or platelet rich plasma." The narrower indication of the Ultegra RPFA does not raise issues of safety or effectiveness because the CHRONO-LOG aggregometer is commonly used to measure inhibition of platelet activity in patients treated with abciximab.

Technological Characteristics:

The Ultegra Analyzer and the CHRONO-LOG aggregometer utilize optical detection as the measurement method. Both systems are based on measurement of aggregation/agglutination. Both systems are used to determine platelet function.

Certain new characteristics of the Ultegra RPFA differ from the CHRONO-LOG. Fibrinogen coated microbeads are used in the Ultegra RPFA, but not the CHRONO-LOG aggregometer. The Ultegra RPFA uses the agonist iso-TRAP, whereas the CHRONO-LOG uses several different agonists. The Ultegra RPFA includes two levels of liquid control, and the CHRONO-LOG does not.

These differences raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness, as shown by the performance characteristics of the two devices.

Performance Characteristics:

The Ultegra RPFA performance was compared with the performance of the CHRONO-LOG Platelet Aggregometry in a multi-center clinical.

The multi-center clinical trial was designed to study GP IIb/Illa receptor blockade in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving abciximab. Samples were obtained at four clinical sites from 120 patients at three time points: 1) Baseline, prior to abciximab administration; 2) During, witin 1 hour following post bolus administration to evaluate the effects of the abciximab bolus; and 2) Post, 24 hours post procedure or at the time of discharge. Samples were tested with the Ultegra RPFA and the CHRONO-LOG Platelet Aggregometer.

For the aggregometry method, platelet rich plasma was prepared from the blood sample ron the aggregometry mothed, plater nemator and 20 µM ADP as the agonist.

Correlation of the two methods was evaluated using (orthogonal) regression. The results are shown in Table 1.

| Slope | 2.91 |
| Intercept | -48.58 |

In addition to Ultegra RPFA and platelet aggregometry, clinical trial patient samples in addition to Onegra NY FA and plateler aggregorial which measures the percentage of were tested with a receptors blocked by abciximab. Figure 1 shows the time course of platelet inhibition for the three methods, as individual points and mean +/- standard error, respectively, and illustrates the overlap in the three assays.
