Intended Use
The Polymedco OC Auto Micro 80 Analyzer and OC Auto Micro FOB Test are designed to be used together as an immunological test system intended for the qualitative detection of fecal occult blood in feces by professional laboratories. The automated test is useful for the determination of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, found in a number of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, e.g., colitis, polyps, and colorectal cancer. The OC Auto Micro FOB Test is recommended for use in 1. Routine physical examinations 2. Monitoring for bleeding in patients 3. Screening for colorectal cancer or gastrointestinal bleeding
Device Story
The Polymedco OC Auto Micro 80 is an automated immunological test system for fecal occult blood (FOB) detection. It processes fecal samples in professional laboratory settings to identify GI bleeding associated with conditions like colitis, polyps, and colorectal cancer. The system utilizes an analyzer and specific test reagents to perform qualitative analysis. Healthcare providers use the resulting output to screen for colorectal cancer or monitor patients for GI bleeding, aiding in clinical diagnostic decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision studies (intra-assay, inter-assay, instrument-to-instrument) showed CVs <5% and <10%. Analytical specificity confirmed no cross-reactivity with animal hemoglobins, dietary substances, or common toilet cleaners. Method comparison with predicate using 63 positive samples showed 100% agreement; 106 asymptomatic patient samples showed 99% agreement. Cut-off of 100 ng/mL established with 96.11% sensitivity and 99.33% specificity.
Technological Characteristics
Immunological test system consisting of an automated analyzer and FOB test reagents. Designed for professional laboratory use. Qualitative detection method.
Indications for Use
Indicated for routine physical examinations, monitoring for bleeding in patients, and screening for colorectal cancer or gastrointestinal bleeding.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An occult blood test is a device used to detect occult blood in urine or feces. (Occult blood is blood present in such small quantities that it can be detected only by chemical tests of suspected material, or by microscopic or spectroscopic examination.)
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A control intended for use with an occult blood test is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.
