The Triage Protein C Test is a rapid, point-of-care fluorescence immunoassay to be used with the Triage Meters for the rapid, quantitative determination of Protein C in citrated whole blood or plasma specimens in patients with signs and symptoms of sepsis. The test is not intended for use in patients with vitamin K deficiency, DIC, cancers, HIV and liver and renal diseases as these disease conditions have not been evaluated.
Device Story
Triage Protein C Test is a single-use fluorescence immunoassay cartridge used with Triage Meters for point-of-care testing. Input: citrated whole blood or plasma. Operation: murine monoclonal antibodies against Protein C labeled with fluorescent dye bind to Protein C antigen immobilized on solid phase. Meter measures fluorescence to quantify Protein C levels. Output: quantitative result displayed on meter screen or printout in ~15 minutes. Used by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Built-in positive/negative controls and automatic endpoint detection ensure assay completion. Provides rapid assessment of Protein C levels in septic patients to assist clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Method comparison study conducted at three independent clinical laboratory sites. 225 split patient samples from individuals with suspected or proven infection, systemic inflammation, and sepsis-induced organ failure were tested using both the Triage Protein C Test and the predicate method. Testing performed in accordance with NCCLS Evaluation Protocol EP9-A2. No specific sensitivity/specificity metrics provided; study focused on method comparison and bias estimation.
Technological Characteristics
Fluorescence immunoassay; murine monoclonal antibodies; immobilized Protein C antigen; stabilizers. Form factor: single-use test cartridge for use with Triage Meter. Energy source: Triage Meter (electronic). Connectivity: standalone meter. Software: includes automatic endpoint detection and internal assay controls.
Indications for Use
Indicated for rapid, quantitative determination of Protein C in citrated whole blood or plasma in patients with signs/symptoms of sepsis. Contraindicated for patients with vitamin K deficiency, DIC, cancers, HIV, or liver/renal diseases.

#### D. Device Description
The Triage Protein C Test is a single-use device containing murine monoclonal antibodies against Protein C labeled with a fluorescent dye and purified Protein C antigen immobilized on the solid phase, and stabilizers. Additionally, there are built-in control features that ensure that the test was performed properly and the reagents were functionally active.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The Test Cartridge is inserted into the Triage Meter and results are measured and displayed on the display screen or printout in approximately 15 minutes. Internal assay controls (positive and negative controls) and automatic endpoint detection technology is used to indicate assay completion.
#### ய் Device Intended Use
The Triage Protein C Test is a rapid, point-of-care fluorescence immunoassay to be used with the Triage Meters for the rapid, quantitative determination of Protein C in citrated whole blood or plasma specimens in patients with signs and symptoms of sepsis. The test is not intended for use in patients with vitamin K deficiency, DIC, cancers, HIV and liver and renal diseases as these disease conditions have not been evaluated.
#### ட் Comparison to Predicate Device
The performance of the Triage Protein C Test was established using samples collected from patients who presented with suspected or proven infection, evidence of systemic inflammation and at least one sepsis-induced organ failure who were enrolled in a previous clinical investigation. Two hundred twenty-five split patient samples were run in the Triage Protein C Test and a predicate method for the purpose of determining if the two methods yield similar results. Testing was conducted at three independent clinical laboratory sites in accordance with NCCLS Evaluation Protocol EP9-A2, Vol. 22, No. 19, Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples; Approved Guideline - Second Edition.
#### G. Conclusion
The information presented in this Premarket Notification demonstrates that the performance of the Triage Protein C Test for use with citrated human blood and plasma is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Equivalence was demonstrated using manufactured reagents along with patient and quality control samples with measured Protein C values spanning the reportable range of the assay.
These studies demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Triage Protein C Test to existing products already marketed for the quantitative determination of Protein C. They further demonstrated the suitability of the product for laboratory and professional use. Such studies are a critical element in establishing the fundamental safety and effectiveness of the product and its appropriateness for commercial distribution.

### Dear Mr. Buenviaje
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. Drue, 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.
