Intended Use
The Rapidpoint Low range Heparin Management Test Card is to be used with the Rapidpoint Coag (formerly TAS) Analyzer to monitor the effects of low to moderate levels of unfractionated heparin on coagulation in noncitrated arterial whole blood samples from patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional procedures. The test is for in vitro diagnostic use. It is especially suited for professional use in decentralized areas of the hospital near the patient's bedside, in the cardiac catheterization lab, and other areas where patients are treated with low to moderate levels of heparin.
Device Description
The Rapidpoint LHMT provides a method to measure the response of a patient to heparin. A noncitrated whole blood sample can be used for this test. The test card has a magnetic stripe on the back, which encodes lot specific information such as number, expiration date, and mathematical factors specific to that lot. A room temperature test card is removed from the pouch and the card is passed through the card reader of the instrument to instrument to run a test. The instrument instructs the operator to insert a test card and then requests patient and sample information. The card is warmed and the operator is prompted to add a drop of blood to the card sample well. The sample flows into the card and rehydrates the reagent, which begins the reaction. As the reaction proceeds and clotting begins, the movement of the particles decreases, and the instrument signals the clotting time.

The description focuses on a chemical reaction and physical measurement of clotting time, with no mention of AI/ML terms or processes.

No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic use to monitor the effects of heparin on coagulation, not to treat a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "The Rapidpoint Low range Heparin Management Test Card is to be used... to monitor the effects of low to moderate levels of unfractionated heparin on coagulation... The test is for in vitro diagnostic use." Monitoring the effects of a drug on coagulation for diagnostic and interventional procedures falls under diagnostic use.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical test card with a magnetic stripe, a sample well, and reagents, which is used in conjunction with a physical analyzer instrument. This indicates a hardware component is essential to the device's function.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The test is for in vitro diagnostic use."
  • Nature of the Test: The device is designed to analyze a biological sample (noncitrated arterial whole blood) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's physiological state (the effects of heparin on coagulation).
  • Purpose: The purpose is to "monitor the effects of low to moderate levels of unfractionated heparin on coagulation," which is a diagnostic and monitoring function.
  • Care Setting: It is intended for "professional use in decentralized areas of the hospital near the patient's bedside, in the cardiac catheterization lab, and other areas where patients are treated with low to moderate levels of heparin," indicating a clinical setting for diagnostic purposes.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Noncitrated samples were obtained from 59 males and 61 females that were normal, healthy donors, ranging in age from 24 to 67 years. Normal ranges (mean +/- 2 SD) were 65 to 175 for noncitrated whole blood. Field testing and clinical testing were done at large hospitals to establish substantial equivalence of the Rapidpoint LHMT to the predicate devices (ACT or ACT-LR). The range with noncitrated patient "baseline" samples taken before the procedures were begun was 53 to 195 seconds. Samples also were taken from individuals expected to have abnormal LHMT results and were tested to compare results of the LHMT cards, the predicate device, and a chromogenic anti Xa assay for heparin activity. A total of 429 samples were drawn from 232 individuals undergoing a variety of treatments. These samples were tested on several different lots of LHMT cards on the Rapidpoint Coag Analyzer and with the predicated device. Noncitrated samples from all sites combined produced an overall correlation of 0.93 of the LHMT card to the ACT.

Summary of Performance Studies

Nonclinical Performance Data: Preclinical testing was done at CDI using Rapidpoint LHMT cards and the Rapidpoint Coag analyzer to determine the performance characteristics of the system.
The Rapidpoint L.HMT cards are stable at refrigerator temperatures or lower (

Trade name: (Rapidpoint Low range Heparin Management Test)

Common Name: LHMT

Classification Name: systems for in vitro coagulation studies, automated or semiautomated instruments and associated reagents and controls used to perform a series of coagulation studies and coagulation factor assays (Class II. 21 CFR864.5425)

Predicate Device: The proposed Rapidpoint LHMT is substantially equivalent to the recently cleared to market Low Range Activated Clotting Time test (ACT-LR; International Technidyne Corporation), performed on the Hemochron Jr. and the Activated Clotting Time test (ACT; International Technidyne Corporation), performed on the Hemochron. These devices produce similar results with samples from patients on low to moderate doses of heparin (see package insert for predicate devices).
