Device Story

Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress Analyzer is an in vitro diagnostic device for point-of-care or clinical settings. It accepts heparinized whole blood, serum, or plasma samples. The device performs quantitative electrochemical and spectrophotometric measurements to determine pH, blood gases (PCO2, PO2), electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca++, Mg++), metabolites (Glucose, Lactate, BUN, Creatinine), and hemoglobin parameters (tHb, O2Hb, COHb, MetHb, HHb, O2Ct, O2Cap). Results are displayed to clinicians to facilitate rapid assessment of acid-base status, oxygenation, renal function, and electrolyte balance. This information supports clinical decision-making for critically ill patients, including those with metabolic disturbances, pulmonary disease, or electrolyte imbalances, potentially improving patient outcomes through timely intervention.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; document focuses on intended use and clinical utility of analytes.

Technological Characteristics

Dear Mr. MacDonald:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).

# Indications for Use

510(k) Number: K022746

Device Name: Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress Analyzer

#### Indications for Use:

#### Intended Use

The Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress Analyzer is intended for in vitro diagnostic use by health care professionals and for point-of-care usage in the quantitative determination of pH, PCO2, PO2%, Hematocrit (Hct), Ca++, total Hemoglobin (tHb), Oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb), Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), Methemoglobin (MetHb), Reduced Hemoglobin (HHb), Oxygen content (O2Ct), and Oxygen capacity (02Cap) in heparinized whole blood; Nat, K+, C1-, Ca++, Mg++, Glucose (Glu), Lactate (Lac), BUN (Urea), and Creatinine (Creat) in heparinized whole blood, serum, or plasma.

# Clinical Utility 1.2

The following list includes the clinical utility information for each of the analytes measured on the STP Critical Care Xpress Analyzer.

Blood Gases: (PCO2, PO2, and pH)

Whole blood measurement of blood gases is used in the diagnosis and treatment of Irfethreatening acid-base disturbances in critically ill patients with numerous metabolic and pulmonary diseases.

## Oxygen Saturation (SO2)

Used to assess the oxygenation of hemoglobin and the adequacy of tissue oxygenation in the evaluation of pulmonary function. Also used in the diagnosis and treatment of cyanosis.

#### Hematocrit (Hct)

Whole blood measurement of hematocrit is used to estimate that red blood cells are present in sufficient quantity to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.

### Hemoglobin (Hb)

Oxygen is carried from the lungs throughout the body by hemoglobin present in red blood cells. Measurement of hemoglobin (tHb) provides the clinician with information regarding the evaluation of chronic and acute anemias and also with information pertaining to the potential oxygen transport capability of the hemoglobin.

#### Oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb)

The fraction of total hemoglobin combined with oxygen. O2Hb is used to assess pulmonary function. Also used in the diagnosis and treatment of cyanosis.

#### Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)

Measurement of carboxyhemoglobin indicates if and to what level carbon monoxide has been inhaled by the patient. Because the affinity of hemoglobin for carbon monoxide is approximately 210 times greater than the affinity for oxygen, high levels of carbon monoxide can lead to tissue anoxia and death unless diagnosed early.

## Methemoglobin (MetHb)

Elevations in methemoglobin concentration can be due to congenital methemoglobinemia or from the ingestion of nitrates, chlorates, or any other drug or chemical that can cause methemoglobin formation. Methemoglobin cannot bind with oxygen. Cyanosis and eventually death may occur if left untreated.

{3}------------------------------------------------

Sodium (Na+)

Measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism, diabetes insipidus, adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease, dehydration, or diseases involving electrolyte imbalance.

Potassium (K+)

Measurement of potassium is used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of disease conditions characterized by low or high potassium levels.

Chloride (Cl-)

Measurement of chloride is used in the diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis.

Ionized Calcium (Ca++)

Used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, renal disease, and vitamin D related disorders. Also useful in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with increased total protein and/or albumin levels, as in dehydration.

# Ionized Magnesium (Mg++)

Measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low levels of magnesium) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally high leve)s of magnesium).

## Creatinine (Creat)

Measurement of creatinine is used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal conditions and is used for monitoring adequacy of dialysis, for example, peritoneal dialysis and peritoneal equilibration testing.

Measurement of glucose is used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism Glucose disturbances including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.

- Measurement of lactic acid (lactate) in whole blood, serum, and plasma is used to evaluate the Lactate acid-base status of patients suspected of having lactic acidosis.
- Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Measurement of urea nitrogen is used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases.
