Indications for Use
The EasyLyte Na/K/Ca/pH analyzer is used for the in-vitro diagnostic testing of Sodium(Na+), Potassium(K+), and ionized Calcium(Ca++) with pH correction in clinical laboratories by trained technicians. Sodium test The sodium (Na+) assay is intended to measure sodium in serum, plasma, and whole blood. Sodium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism (excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone), diabetes insipidus (chronic excretion of large anounts of dilute urine, accompanied by extreme thirst), adrenal hypertension, Addison's discase (caused by destruction of the adrenal glands), dehydration, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance. Potassium test The potassium (K+) assay is intended to measure potassium in serum, plasma, and whole blood. Potassium measurements are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels. Calcium-ionized test The ionized calcium (Ca++) assay is intended to measure the ionized calcium level in serum, plasma, and whole blood. fonized calcium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany (intermittent muscular contractions or spasms). Acidosis (low pH) causes increase and alkalosis (high pH) a decrease in the amount of ionized calcium. pH test The sample pH assay is intended to measure the pH of the ionized calcium assay. Measurements of pH are used to calculate the "normalized ionized calcium value" in samples with pH other than 7.40 units,
Device Story
EasyLyte Na/K/Ca/pH Analyzer; automated electrolyte analyzer; measures sodium, potassium, calcium, pH in clinical samples (whole blood, serum, plasma, urine). Modification involves hardware updates: electronic components, display, printer, power supply. Device operates via ion-selective electrode (ISE) technology; provides quantitative results for clinical decision-making. Used in clinical laboratory settings; operated by trained laboratory personnel. Output displayed on integrated screen and printed; assists clinicians in electrolyte and acid-base balance assessment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and performance characteristics of the electrolyte and pH measurement assays.
Technological Characteristics
Ion-selective electrode (ISE) technology for Na+, K+, and Ca++ measurement; potentiometric pH sensor; automated sample processing; benchtop analyzer form factor.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of sodium, potassium, calcium, and pH in whole blood, serum, plasma, or urine for clinical diagnostic purposes.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A potassium test system is a device intended to measure potassium in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels.
