The iChem®VELOCITY™ automated urine chemistry system is an in vitro diagnostic device used to automate the urine chemistry analysis profile using iChem®VELOCITY™ Urine Chemistry Strips. The iChem VELOCITY can be used as a stand alone-system, as well as in an iQ®200 Series system, a configuration given the proprietary name iRICELL ™ as it is designed to be hardware and software compatible with iQ200 Series systems. It produces quantitative results for specific gravity, semi-quantitative results for glucose, blood, leukocyte esterase, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH, protein, ketones and ascorbic acid; and qualitative results for nitrites, color and clarity. iChemVELOCITY strips are intended for use only with the iChemVELOCITY analyzer. In particular they are not intended for visual reading. The iChem VELOCITY test strips are not intended for visual reading. The iChemVELOCITY is not intended to be used as a Point of Care (POC) analyzer. These measurements are used to aid in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders, kidney function anomalies, urinary tract infections, and liver function. Tests performed using the iChem VELOCITY are intended for clinical laboratory use and in vitro diagnostic use only. The iChem®VELOCITY™ CalChek Kit is a set of assayed and unassayed in vitro diagnostic controls for monitoring performance of the iChem VELOCITY urine chemistry analyzer. The controls include assayed liquid controls for the monitoring of the specific gravity measurement module, and unassayed liquid color and clarity controls for the monitoring of color and clarity measurements. The kit also includes a set of assayed reflectance strips for the monitoring of reflectance measurements. These measurements monitored by these controls are part of an automated urine chemistry analyzer used to aid in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders, kidney function anomalies, urinary tract infections, and liver function.

The proposed device is a fully automated, computer-controlled urine chemistry analyzer intended for use only with iChemVelocity Chemistry Strips for the measurement of ten urine chemistry analytes from the chemistry strip plus the measurement of specific gravity using an electronic refractometer assembly and the qualitative measurement of color and clarity by optical absorbance and scattering methods, respectively.
