## Product Codes: CGL, Electrode, Ion Based, Enzymatic, Creatinine
## Predicate Device: K070068 Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter
## Device Description:
The Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter System consists of a hand held meter, test strips, control solutions, and linearity solutions. The Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter System is a hand-held, battery-powered, in vitro diagnostic laboratory instrument that works in conjunction with Nova Biomedical creatinine electrochemical test strips to measure creatinine in a whole blood sample, a Quality Control (QC) solution, linearity, or proficiency solutions. In addition to measuring creatinine, the meter stores patient test data, QC test data, and other information relating to patient sample, operator, reagents, and the meter. A user interface provides a self-prompting environment via a color LCD. The Charging Station recharges the batteries of the meter.
## Mechanism of Action:
A test strip is inserted into the meter, and the sample is applied to the sample entry end of the strip. The test strip contains a reaction layer that contains creatinine amidohydrolase, creatinine amidinohydrolase and sarcosine oxidase that reacts with the test sample. When enough sample has been added to the test strip (sample is drawn into strip though capillary action) the meter begins its analysis. A digital readout is displayed on the meter in 30 seconds.
## Test Strips:
The test strips contain a reaction layer that contains creatinine amidohydrolase, creatinine amidinohydrolase and sarcosine oxidase. The test strip is touched to a drop of blood to initiate the test process. The test strip is designed such that when a drop of blood is touched to the end of the test strip, the blood is drawn into the reaction space via capillary action. A simple one-step process provides a blood creatinine result. Test strips are sold in vials of 25 strips.
The Nova StatSensor Creatinine Test Strips that are intended for use with the StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter are identical in form, fit, function and packaging, to the Nova StatSensor Creatinine Test Strips previously cleared for use with the Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter System (K070088).
{4}------------------------------------------------
No changes have been made to Nova StatSensor Creatinine Test Strips and they are not a subject of this submission.
# Control and Linearity Solutions:
The control solutions contain aqueous assayed solutions, creatining creatinine, preservative, viscosityadjusting agent, and other non-reactive ingredients (dye). They contain no products of human origin. There are three levels of controls, (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3). These solutions are offered for sale separately from the meter.
The linearity solutions contain creatinine, viscosity agent, preservatives and other non-reactive ingredients (dye). They contain no products of human origin. These solutions are offered to users to verify the performance of the system. There are five levels of linearity solutions (Level 1, Level 3, Level 3, Level 3, Level 3, Level 4. Level 5). These solutions are offered for sale separately from the meter.
The Nova StatSensor Creatinine Control and Linearity Solutions that are intended for use with the StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter are identical in formulation and packaging, to the Control and Linearity Solutions originally cleared for use with the Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter System (K070068). No changes have been made to Nova StatSensor Creatinine Control and Linearity Solutions and they are not a subject of this submission.
# Docking/Charging Station:
The meter charging station is a stationary accessory used to recharge the meter. The charging station has one slot for the meter to be placed for charging and a slot for an extra battery to be charged. The charging station should be located central to the patient care area being served by the meter (e.g. a nursing station). The data charging station must remain plugged in to a wall outlet for power. Replacement batteries are offered separately.
# Intended Use:
The Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter System consists of the StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter and the StatSensor Creatinine Test Strips. The Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use by healthcare professionals and for Point-Of-Care usage for the quantitative measurement of capillary, venous, and arterial whole blood. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases and in monitoring renal dialysis. Not for use in neonates.
# Summary of the Technological Characteristics:
The Nova StatSensor Creatinine Hospital Meter System that is the subject of this submission uses the exact same technology, functionality, analytical and operational performance characteristics, as the predicate. The Main CPU and the Primary Strip Board Electronics are identical in both the meters. The only difference is the change in ergonomic design.
