The Alinity i Rubella IgG assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) used for the quantitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum, serum separator, and plasma tubes (lithium heparin, lithium heparin separator, and tripotassium EDTA) on the Alinity i system. The Alinity i Rubella IgG assay is to be used as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella in individuals including women of child-bearing age. The Alinity i Rubella IgG assay has not been cleared for use in screening blood, plasma, or tissue donors. The performance of this device has not been established for cord blood or neonatal samples. Likewise, performance has not been established for populations of immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals.

The Alinity i Rubella IgG assay is an automated, two-step immunoassay for the quantitative determination of anti-rubella IgG in human serum and plasma using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology. Sample, partially purified rubella virus-coated paramagnetic microparticles, and assay diluent are combined and incubated. The anti-rubella IgG present in the sample bind to the rubella virus coated microparticles. The mixture is washed. Anti-human IgG acridinium-labeled conjugate is added to create a reaction mixture and incubated. Following a wash cycle, Pre-Trigger and Trigger Solutions are added. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as a relative light unit (RLU). There is a direct relationship between the amount of anti-rubella IgG in the sample and the RLU detected by the system optics.

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the rapid, qualitative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen directly in anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (i.e., symptomatic). The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19) in symptomatic individuals when either: tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests; or when tested once, and negative by the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card and followed up with a molecular test. A negative test is presumptive and does not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection; it is recommended these results be confirmed by a molecular SARS-CoV-2 assay. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other bacteria or viruses and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions.

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card is an immunochromatographic membrane assay that uses antibodies to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein from anterior nasal swab specimens. SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies and a control antibody are immobilized onto a membrane support as two distinct lines and combined with other reagents/pads to construct a test strip. This test strip and a well to hold the swab specimen are mounted on opposite sides of a cardboard, book-shaped hinged test card. To perform the test, an anterior nasal swab specimen is collected from the patient, 6 drops of extraction reagent from a dropper bottle are added to the top hole of the swab well. The patient sample is inserted into the test card through the bottom hole of the swab well, and firmly pushed upwards until the swab tip is visible through the top hole. The swab is rotated 3 times clockwise and the card is closed, bringing the extracted sample into contact with the test strip. Test results are interpreted visually at 15 minutes based on the presence or absence of visually detectable pink/purple colored lines. Results should not be read after 30 minutes.

The i-STAT CG4+ cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System is intended for use in the in vitro quantification of pH, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in arterial, venous, or capillary whole blood in point of care or clinical laboratory settings. The i-STAT CG4+ cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System is intended for use in the in vitro quantification of lactate in arterial or venous whole blood in point of care or clinical laboratory settings. pH, PO2, and PCO2 measurements are used in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of respiratory, metabolic, and acid-base disturbances. Lactate measurements are used in (1) the diagnosis and treatment of lactic acidosis in conjunction with measurements of blood acid/base status, (2) monitoring tissue hypoxia and strenuous physical exertion, and (3) diagnosis of hyperlactatemia.

The i-STAT CG4+ cartridge is used with the i-STAT 1 analyzer as part of the i-STAT 1 System to measure pH, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in arterial, venous or capillary whole blood and to measure lactate (Lac) in arterial or venous whole blood. The i-STAT 1 System is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical device intended for the quantitative determination of various clinical chemistry tests contained within i-STAT cartridges using whole blood. The i-STAT 1 System consists of a portable blood analyzer (i-STAT 1 analyzer), single-use disposable test cartridges (i-STAT cartridges), liquid quality control and calibration verification materials, and accessories (i-STAT 1 Downloader/Recharger, i-STAT Electronic Simulator and i-STAT 1 Printer). The i-STAT 1 System, including the i-STAT CG4+ cartridge, is designed for use by trained medical professionals in point of care or clinical laboratory settings and is for prescription use only. The i-STAT CG4+ cartridge contains the required sensors, a fluid pack (calibrant pouch), a sample entry well and closure, fluid channels, waste chamber, and the necessary mechanical features for controlled fluid movement within cartridge. The i-STAT cartridge format allows all the tests in the cartridge to be performed simultaneously. All the test steps and fluid movements occur within the i STAT CG4+ cartridge. The i-STAT 1 analyzer interacts with the i-STAT CG4+ cartridge to move fluid across the sensors and generate a quantitative result. Cartridges require two to three drops of whole blood applied to the cartridge using a transfer device, by the trained user before the cartridge is placed within the analyzer. The i-STAT 1 analyzer is a handheld, in vitro diagnostic analytical device designed to run only i-STAT test cartridges. The analyzer functions as the main user interface and the electromechanical interface to the test cartridge. All within-cartridge fluid movements, as well as the timing and heating of the test cycle, are automated and controlled without user intervention by system software embedded within the analyzer.
