    Intended Use

    The GEM Premier 5000 is a portable critical care system for use by health care professionals to rapidly analyze heparinized whole blood samples at the point of health care delivery in a clinical setting and in a central laboratory. The instrument provides quantitative measurements of pH, pCO2, pO2, sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium, glucose, lactate, hematocrit, total bilirubin and CO-Oximetry (tHb, O2Hb, MetHb, HHb, sO2*) parameters from arterial, venous or capillary heparinized whole blood. These parameters, along with derived parameters, aid in the diagnosis of a patient's acid/base status, electrolyte and metabolite balance and oxygen delivery capacity. *sO2 = ratio between the concentration of oxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin plus deoxyhemoglobin.

    · pH, pCO2, and pO2 measurements in whole blood are used in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening acid-base disturbances.

    · Electrolytes in the human body have multiple roles. Nearly all metabolic processes depend on or vary with electrolytes:

    · Sodium (Na+) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism, diabetes insipidus, adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease, dehydration, inappropriate antidiuretic secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance.

    · Potassium (K+) measurements are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of disease conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels.

    • Ionized calcium (Ca++) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases, chronic renal disease and tetany.

    • Chloride (Cl-) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis.

    · Hematocrit (Hct) measurements in whole blood of the packed red cell volume of a blood sample are used to distinguish normal from abnormal states, such as anemia and erythrocytosis (an increase in the number of red cells),

    · Glucose (Glu) measurement is used in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disturbances including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, idiopathic hypoglycemia, and pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.

    · Lactate (Lac) measurement is used:

    · to evaluate the acid-base status of patients suspected of having lactic acidosis;

    · to monitor tissue hypoxia and strenuous physical exertion:

    · in the diagnosis of hyperlactatemia.

    · Total Bilirubin (tBili) measurement is used to aid in assessing the risk of kernicterus and hyperbilirulyinemia in neonates.

    • CO-Oximetry (tHb, COHb, MetHb, O2Hb, HHb, and sO2) evaluates the ability of the blood to carry oxygen by measuring total hemoglobin and determining the percentage of functional hemoglobin species.

    • Total Hemoglobin (tHb): Total hemoglobin measure the hemoglobin content of whole blood for the detection of anemia.

    · COHb: Carboxyhemoglobin measurements are used to determine the carboxyhemoglobin content of human blood as an aid in the diagnosis of carbon monoxide poisoning.
    · MetHb: Methemoglobin measurements are used to determine different conditions of methemoglobinemia.
    · HHb: Deoxyhemoglobin, as a fraction of total hemoglobin, is used in combination with oxyhemoglobin to measure oxygen status.
    · O2Hb: Oxyhemoglobin, as a fraction of total hemoglobin, is used in combination with decxyhemoglobin to measure oxygen status.
    · sO2: Oxygen saturation, more specifically the ratio between the concentration of oxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin plus deoxyhemoglobin, is used to measure oxygen status.

    Device Description

    The GEM Premier 5000 system provides health care professionals with fast, accurate, quantitative measurements of pH, pCO2, pO2, sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium, glucose, lactate, hematocrit, total bilirubin and CO-Oximetry (tHb, O₂Hb, MetHb, HHb, sO₂*) parameters from arterial, venous or capillary heparinized whole blood in central laboratory or point-of-care clinical settings.

    *sO2 = Ratio between the concentration of oxyhemoglobin plus deoxyhemoglobin plus deoxyhemoglobin.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study detailed in the provided document, addressing each of your requested points:

    The document describes the GEM Premier 5000 device, an in vitro diagnostic system for analyzing blood gases and other parameters. The purpose of this specific 510(k) submission is to expand capillary heparinized whole blood claims for pCO2, potassium, chloride, hematocrit, and total hemoglobin. Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study focus on establishing the performance of these analytes with capillary samples on the GEM Premier 5000, demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device (GEM Premier 4000).


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a separate table. Instead, it demonstrates performance by showing that "All results met specification" for precision studies and by providing bias and Total Error (TEa) ranges for method comparison, which implicitly serve as acceptance criteria. For the regression analysis, the slope and intercept being close to 1 and 0 respectively, and a high correlation coefficient (r), are the performance indicators.

    Here's a breakdown of the reported device performance for the analytes relevant to the expanded claims:

    Implied Acceptance Criteria:

    • Precision: Standard Deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (%CV) values for each analyte at various levels must meet an internal "specification" (not explicitly stated in the table, but indicated as "All results met specification."). The document mentions analysis being separated for "fixed acceptance criteria range (SD)" and "variable acceptance criteria range (%CV)".
    • Method Comparison (Bias): The observed biases at the medical decision levels and their 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) should be within the Total Error (TEa) values provided.
    • Method Comparison (Regression): Slope close to 1, intercept close to 0, and a high correlation coefficient (r) (typically >0.975 for quantitative assays).

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The test sets were derived from various sources:

    • Internal Precision - Capillary Transfer Samples:
      • Sample Size: 5 different concentrations of whole blood per analyte, each run on 3 analyzers for 5 days, 1 run/day, 8 replicates/run/level. Total N = 120 per analyte per level.
      • Data Provenance: Internal laboratory setting. Samples were "whole blood... transferred from syringe to a capillary device," implying controlled, possibly contrived, whole blood samples.
    • Internal Precision - Capillary Finger-stick Samples:
      • Sample Size: 28 donor samples, each collected into 2 capillary tubes and run in singlicate. Total N = 56 for each analyte (28 donors * 2 samples).
      • Data Provenance: "IL Customer Simulation Laboratory (CSL), using finger-stick samples drawn and run by two (2) point-of-care (POC) operators." This indicates a prospective collection of real human samples in a simulated clinical environment.
    • External POC Precision - Capillary Transfer Samples:
      • Sample Size: Minimum of 20 residual whole blood samples run over 5 days, each run in triplicate. Total N = 60-66 samples per analyte (e.g., 63 for pCO2 for main range, 3 for high range; 66 for K+ and Cl-; 60 for tHb).
      • Data Provenance: "External point-of-care (POC) site, using heparinized whole blood patient samples transferred from syringe to a capillary device and run by three (3) POC operators." This suggests prospective collection of residual patient samples in a real clinical POC setting.
    • Point-of-Care (POC) Method Comparison - Native Capillary Finger-stick Samples:
      • Sample Size: Minimum of 40 native capillary samples from an external POC site + minimum of 80 native samples from IL CSL. Total N = 129-131 samples for each analyte.
      • Data Provenance: "Native capillary finger-stick samples... collected via finger-stick by six (6) POC operators at an external POC site... and three (3) POC operators in the IL internal Customer Simulation Laboratory (CSL)." This is a prospective collection of real human finger-stick samples from both real-world POC and simulated environments.
    • Point-of-Care (POC) Method Comparison - Pooled Data (Regression Analysis):
      • Sample Size: The native capillary samples (N=129-131) were pooled with "contrived whole blood samples (
