## Indications for Use

The Coag-A-Mate MTX is a multipurpose system for use in performing in-vitro coagulation studies, clot based and chromogenic.

## Device Story

Automated system for in-vitro coagulation studies; performs clot-based and chromogenic assays. Input: patient plasma specimens. Operation: random access, fully automated processing. Output: coagulation test results. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by laboratory personnel. System facilitates diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring of coagulation status. Benefits: provides automated, precise, and efficient coagulation analysis comparable to existing predicate systems.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical comparison study using patient specimens across normal, diagnostic, and therapeutic ranges. Correlation coefficients (r) for clot-based screening assays: 0.954–0.994; clot-based quantitative assays: 0.988–0.995; chromogenic assays: 0.954. Precision studies followed NCCLS EP5-T2; total CVs <5% (clot-based screening), <8% (clot-based quantitative), and <7% (colorimetric).

## Technological Characteristics

Fully automated, random-access coagulation analyzer. Performs clot-based and chromogenic assays. Spectrophotometric detection at 405 nm. Features LIS interface and user-definable assay parameters. Precision testing conducted per NCCLS EP5-T2 standards.

## Regulatory Identification

A coagulation instrument is an automated or semiautomated device used to determine the onset of clot formation for in vitro coagulation studies.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A fibrometer or coagulation timer intended for use with a coagulation instrument is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

## Predicate Devices

- Organon Teknika MDA-180 ([K924453](/device/K924453.md))
- Organon Teknika Coag-A-Mate X2 ([K813564](/device/K813564.md))

(a)(6) A summary of the technological characteristics of the new device in comparison to those of the predicate device.

The CAM MTX, MDA-180 and CAM-X2 are multipurpose systems capable of performing in-vitro coagulation studies, all three perform clot based assays. The MDA-180 and CAM MTX are also capable of performing chromogenic assays.

Similar to the MDA-180, the Coag-A-Mate MTX is a fully automated system that has features which increase its ease of use. Table 1.1 below outlines similarities/differences between the MDA-180 and the CAM MTX.

(b)(1) A brief discussion of the nonclinical tests submitted, reference, or relied on in the premarket notification submission for a determination of substantial equivalency.

Testing was performed to determine normal range, correlation and bias, precision and interfering substances. Interfering substances, and specimen collection and preparation are well documented for these types assays and are in accordance with NCCLS standards and recommendations of the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis.

(b)(2) A brief discussion of the clinical tests submitted, reference, or relied on in the premarket notification submission for a determination of substantial equivalency.

A comparison study was conducted using patient specimens over the normal, diagnostic and therapeutic range. R values ranged from (0.954 - 0.994) for clot based screening assays, (0.988 - 0.995 for clot based quantitative assays and (r = 0.954) for chromogenic assays. Total imprecision for each analyte was well within NCCLS recommendations.

(b)(3) The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests that demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performed as well or better than the legally marketed device identified in (a)(3).

The performance characteristics of the new device are comparable to those of the predicate device and typical of these systems in general. The data presented in the premarket notification demonstrate that the new device performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Comparison studies were performed to demonstrate the CAM MTX is equivalent to the MDA-180 and CAM-X2 for the performance of in vitro coagulation studies (clotting, chromogenic).

Equivalence was demonstrated using currently commercially available reagents along with patient specimens covering the normal, therapeutic and diagnostic range. Correlation coefficients ranged from r = 0.954 to 0.995 for clot based assays. A correlation coefficient of r = 0.954 was obtained for assays requiring spectrophotometric measurement at a specified wavelength such as chromogenic assays.

Precision studies were performed following NCCLS EP5-T2 "Evaluation of Precision Performance of Clinical Chemistry Devices." Total precision c.v.'s were less than 5% for clot based screening assays, less than 8% for clot based quantitative assays and less than 7% for colorimetric assays. Data was generated on the CAM MTX using commercially available normal and abnormal control plasma.
