Regulation
21 CFR 862.3560
Device Class
Class 2
Indications for Use
Diazyme Liquid Enzymatic Assay Kit is for quantitative in vitro determination of Lithium in human serum. Measurements of Lithium are carried out essentially to ensure that proper drug dosage is administered in the treatment of patient suffering from bipolar disorder and to avoid toxicity.
Device Story
Diazyme Liquid Stable Lithium Enzymatic Assay; in vitro diagnostic reagent for quantitative lithium measurement in human serum/plasma. Modification of previously cleared Diazyme Liquid Enzymatic Assay (K033360). Transitioned from lyophilized powder/diluent system to 2-reagent liquid, ready-to-use format. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output is quantitative lithium concentration; assists clinicians in monitoring lithium therapy. Fundamental enzymatic technology remains unchanged; performance characteristics (linearity, reference ranges, measuring range) identical to predicate.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence established via bench testing and performance characteristics typical of in vitro diagnostic assays.
Indicated for the quantitative determination of lithium in human serum or plasma.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A lithium test system is a device intended to measure lithium (from the drug lithium carbonate) in serum or plasma. Measurements of lithium are used to assure that the proper drug dosage is administered in the treatment of patients with mental disturbances, such as manic-depressive illness (bipolar disorder).

SPECIAL 510(k): Device Modification
OIVD Review Memorandum (Decision Making Document is Attached)
To: THE FILE
RE: DOCUMENT NUMBER K082001 Diazyme Liquid
Stable Lithium Enzymatic Assay
This 510(k) submission contains information/data on modifications made to the SUBMITTER'S own Class II, Class III or Class I devices requiring 510(k). The following items are present and acceptable (delete/add items as necessary):
1. The name and 510(k) number of the Diazyme Laboratories previously cleared device, Diazyme Liquid Enzymatic Assay, k033360.
2. Submitter's statement that the INDICATION/INTENDED USE of the modified device as described in its labeling HAS NOT CHANGED along with the proposed labeling which includes instructions for use, package labeling, and, if available, advertisements or promotional materials (labeling changes are permitted as long as they do not affect the intended use).
3. A description of the device MODIFICATION(S), including clearly labeled diagrams, engineering drawings, photographs, user's and/or service manuals in sufficient detail to demonstrate that the FUNDAMENTAL SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY of the modified device has not changed.
This change was for the Diazyme Enzymatic Lithium Assay reagent. The form of the reagent has changed from a lyophilized powder and diluent system to a 2 reagent liquid, ready-to-use system. The new device is the Diazyme Liquid Stable Lithium Enzymatic Assay.
4. Comparison Information (similarities and differences) to applicant's legally marketed predicate device including, labeling, intended use, physical characteristics, and coding requirements. The candidate device uses the same calibrators, quality control material, has the same linear limits, reference ranges, measuring range, and the same intended use as the predicate. The differences are the updated labeling, packaging, stability, and reagent state—liquid rather than lyophilized.
5. A Design Control Activities Summary which includes:
a) Identification of Risk Analysis method(s) used to assess the impact of the modification on the device and its components, and the results of the analysis.
b) Based on the Risk Analysis, an identification of the verification and/or validation activities required, including methods or tests used and acceptance criteria to be applied.
c) A declaration of conformity with design controls. The declaration of conformity should include:
i) A statement signed by the individual responsible, that, as required by the risk analysis, all verification and validation activities were performed by the designated individual(s) and the results demonstrated that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met, and
ii) A statement signed by the individual responsible, that the manufacturing facility is in conformance with design control procedure requirements as specified in 21 CFR 820.30 and the records are available for review.
6. A Truthful and Accurate Statement, a 510(k) Summary or Statement and the Indications for Use Enclosure (and Class III Summary for Class III devices).
The labeling for this modified subject device has been reviewed to verify that the indication/intended use for the device is unaffected by the modification. In addition, the submitter's description of the particular modification(s) and the comparative information between the modified and unmodified devices demonstrate that the fundamental scientific technology has not changed. The submitter has provided the design control information as specified in The New 510(k) Paradigm and on this basis, I recommend the device be determined substantially equivalent to the previously cleared (or their preamendment) device.
