Intended Use
The Total Iron Binding Capacity (IBCT) Flex® reagent cartridge for the Dimension® clinical chemistry system is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to quantitatively measure total iron binding capacity in human serum and plasma. Measurements of total iron binding capacity are used in the diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia and chronic inflammatory disorders.
Device Description
The IBCT method for the Dimension® clinical chemistry system is a fully automated assay in which serum or plasma is mixed with a ferric iron solution, to saturate all available iron-binding sites of transferrin in the sample. Under non-acidic conditions (pH 8.6), only unbound, excess saturating iron is available to be reduced to ferrous iron by ascorbic acid and to form a blue complex with Ferene®. Subsequent addition of acid (final pH of 4.5) releases the iron bound to transferrin; this additional iron is reduced to ferrous iron by ascorbic acid and forms an increased amount of blue complex with Ferene®. The increase in absorbance upon shifting from pH 8.6 to pH 4.5, measured using a bicromatic (600,700 nm) endpoint technique, is proportional to the concentration of transferrin-bound iron, and thus to the iron binding capacity (total) of the serum or plasma sample.

No
The device description details a standard chemical assay and does not mention any AI or ML components. The performance studies are based on correlation with a predicate device, not on training or testing of an AI/ML model.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic device used to measure total iron binding capacity, which aids in diagnosis and treatment, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "an in vitro diagnostic device intended to quantitatively measure total iron binding capacity in human serum and plasma. Measurements of total iron binding capacity are used in the diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia and chronic inflammatory disorders."

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemical assay involving reagents and a clinical chemistry system, indicating it is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not software only.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states:

"The Total Iron Binding Capacity (IBCT) Flex® reagent cartridge for the Dimension® clinical chemistry system is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to quantitatively measure total iron binding capacity in human serum and plasma."

This statement directly identifies the device as an in vitro diagnostic device.
