Intended Use
The ABL700 Series Analyzer with the AutoCheck module is a stand-alone blood gas analyzer that measures pH, pCO2, pO2, cNa+, cK+, cCa2+, cCL-, Glucose, Lactate, and Co-oximetry parameters on human arterial/venous and capillary whole blood. The AutoCheck Module is an added functionality to perform automated analysis of quality control fluids.
Device Description
The ABL700 Series Analyzer with the AutoCheck module is an ABL700 Analyzer with the added capability of performing automated analysis of quality control fluids. The AutoCheck module is designed to work with a quality control fluid system named AutoCheck 5+. The AutoCheck 5+ is an ampouled four level quality control fluid system. The composition of the various levels of Quality control fluids in AutoCheck 5+ correspond to the composition of the corresponding levels of Qualicheck 5+ system (K980135). The AutoCheck 5+ ampoules comprise a cap on the top of the ampoules designed to break the top of an ampoule when it is to be used. Furthermore, each ampoule has a bar code containing information on the specific level and lot of the quality control fluid. Installing an AutoCheck module into an existing ABL700 Series Analyzer includes physically installing the module and loading upgraded software which controls the function of the AutoCheck module. The AutoCheck module comprises an ampoule carrousel carrying 20 ampoules of quality control fluid and further comprises a bar code reader for reading the bar code located on each ampoule. When installed into the ABL700 Series Analyzer, the AutoCheck module automatically performs the quality control of the analyzer. Thus, when a quality control is due, the analyzer warns the user and if the user accepts, the quality control is performed. The software selects the appropriate ampoule, the AutoCheck module opens the ampoule by pressing the cap through the top of the ampoule, the quality control fluid is automatically introduced into the analyzer inlet and the measurements are performed. The upgraded software controls all steps. If required, a manual quality control may be performed as well.
More Information

No
The description focuses on automated mechanical and software control of quality control procedures, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making beyond standard automated processes.

No
The device is a blood gas analyzer that measures various parameters in blood and includes an auto-check module for performing automated analysis of quality control fluids. It is designed for diagnostic and quality control purposes, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes
The device measures pH, pCO2, pO2, cNa+, cK+, cCa2+, cCL-, Glucose, Lactate, and Co-oximetry parameters on human arterial/venous and capillary whole blood, which are diagnostic measurements.

No

The device description clearly states that the AutoCheck module is a physical component that is physically installed into the ABL700 Series Analyzer and includes hardware such as an ampoule carrousel and a bar code reader. While it includes upgraded software, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the ABL700 Series Analyzer with the AutoCheck module is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device "measures pH, pCO2, pO2, cNa+, cK+, cCa2+, cCL-, Glucose, Lactate, and Co-oximetry parameters on human arterial/venous and capillary whole blood." This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test performed on a human specimen (blood) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that analyzes blood samples. While the AutoCheck module focuses on quality control, the core function of the ABL700 Series Analyzer is to perform diagnostic measurements on blood.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed, such as the RADIOMETER ABL700 Series and AVL9181 Electrolyte Analyzer, are also IVD devices. This further supports the classification of the described device as an IVD.

The AutoCheck module itself, while focused on quality control, is an accessory or component that enhances the functionality of the core IVD device (the ABL700 Series Analyzer). The combined system is still considered an IVD because its primary purpose is to perform in vitro diagnostic testing.

The automatic inlet of sample loaded into a carrousel is a principle, which is well known from various types of analyzers. Thus, it is well known in coagulation and/or urine analyzers that the samples to be measured are loaded with a sample carrousel. Also, the AVL9181 Electrolyte Analyzer (K972673) for measuring electrolytes in i. a. whole blood, serum, or plasma comprises a built-in autosampler. For further details of performing the automatic quality control in the ABL700 Series Analyzer with the AutoCheck module I refer to the enclosed sections of the Operator's Manual.
