VITROS Chemistry Products ALB Slides For in vitro diagnostic use only. VITROS ALB Slides quantitatively measure albumin (AL concentration in serum and plasma. VITROS Calibrator Kit 4 For in vitro diagnostic use only. VITROS Calibrator Kit 4 is intended for use in calibration of the VITROS Chemistry Systems for the quantitative measurement of ALB, BuBc, Fe, TBIL, TIBC, and TP.
Device Story
VITROS Chemistry Products ALB Slides are multi-layered analytical elements used with VITROS Chemistry System instrumentation to perform quantitative albumin measurements. The system accepts serum or plasma samples; reactions occur within the slide's multi-layered element. The device utilizes reflectance spectrophotometry to measure albumin concentration. The system is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratory settings. Healthcare providers use the quantitative albumin results to assess patient health, including conditions like dehydration, malnutrition, liver disease, and renal protein loss. The modified slide reduces sample volume requirements and reactive ingredient quantities compared to the predicate, while maintaining the same basic principle, reportable range, and instrumentation compatibility.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance was demonstrated using manufactured slides tested with patient and quality control samples spanning the assay range to confirm substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Dry, multilayered analytical slide; reflectance spectrophotometry sensing principle; serum/plasma sample type; 5.5 µL sample volume; 125.4 µg bromcresol green dye per slide; 37°C incubation at ~5 minutes; compatible with VITROS 250, 500, 750, and 950 Series Analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of albumin concentration in human serum and plasma for diagnostic purposes.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An albumin test system is a device intended to measure the albumin concentration in serum and plasma. Albumin measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases involving primarily the liver or kidneys.

Dear Ms. Hanna:
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, listing 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.

VITROS Chemistry Products ALB Slides For in vitro diagnostic use only. VITROS ALB Slides quantitatively measure albumin (AL concentration in serum and plasma.
VITROS Calibrator Kit 4 For in vitro diagnostic use only. VITROS Calibrator Kit 4 is intended for use in calibration of the VITROS Chemistry Systems for the quantitative measurement of ALB, BuBc, Fe, TBIL, TIBC, and TP.
Of all serum proteins, albumin is present in the highest concentration. It maintains the plasma oncotic pressure and the transport of many substances. Increased serum albumin may indicate dehydration or hyperinfusion with albumin; a decrease is found in rapid hydration, overhydration, severe malnutrition and malabsorbtion, severe diffuse liver necrosis, chronic active hepatitis, and neoplasia. Albumin is commonly reduced in chronic alcoholism, pregnancy, renal protein loss, thyroid dysfunction, peptic ulcer disease, and chronic inflammatory disease. '
