The Diagnostic Chemicals Limited’s Acetaminophen-SL Assay is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to measure acetaminophen levels in human serum or plasma (lithium heparin). Such measurements are used in the diagnosis of acetaminophen toxicity and overdose. This assay consists of two reagents and a calibrator. This assay is for prescription use only.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic assay; measures acetaminophen concentration in human serum or lithium heparin plasma. Principle: acyl amidohydrolase cleaves acetaminophen to p-aminophenol and acetate; p-aminophenol reacts with 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid and manganese ions to form 5-(4-iminophenol)-8-quinolone. Device produces colorimetric output measured via spectrophotometry at 615 nm; absorbance is directly proportional to acetaminophen concentration. Used in clinical laboratories on automated chemistry analyzers or generic spectrophotometers. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing acetaminophen toxicity and overdose.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Quantitative colorimetric assay. Reagents: acyl amidohydrolase, manganese, 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid, stabilizers, preservatives. Detection: spectrophotometric absorbance at 615 nm. Compatible with automated chemistry analyzers or generic spectrophotometers. No specific materials of construction or software algorithms described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of acetaminophen in human serum or plasma (Lithium heparin) to aid in the diagnosis of acetaminophen toxicity and overdose.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An acetaminophen test system is a device intended to measure acetaminophen, an analgestic and fever reducing drug, in serum. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of acetaminophen overdose.
