Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
The ACL TOP Family 70 Series (ACL TOP 370, ACL TOP 570 and ACL TOP 770 / 770s / 770 LAS) are bench top, fully automated, random access analyzers designed specifically for in vitro diagnostic clinical use by health care professionals in the hemostasis laboratory for coagulation and/or fibrinolysis testing in the assessment of thrombosis and/or hemostasis. The systems provide results for both direct hemostasis measurements and calculated parameters.
Device Story
Bench-top, fully automated, random access coagulation analyzers; used in hemostasis laboratories by healthcare professionals. Inputs: clinical samples (plasma). Principle: optical measurement (turbidimetric, chromogenic, immunological) at 405, 535, and 671 nm. Outputs: quantitative results for coagulation/fibrinolysis assays and calculated parameters. Features: pre-analytical HIL (Hemoglobin, Icteric, Lipemia) interference detection, underfilled tube detection, and clog detection. Updated features include 22-inch touchscreen, aesthetic GUI updates, 'Study Mode' for internal performance studies, and permission-based remote-control for desktop sharing/software updates. Clinical utility: aids in thrombosis and hemostasis assessment; provides standardized, automated testing to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision studies (n=80 per model) evaluated D-Dimer, Factor VIII, PT, Fibrinogen, and Heparin assays, meeting all acceptance criteria for repeatability and within-laboratory precision. Method comparison studies (n=104-260 samples) against the predicate (ACL TOP 750 CTS) demonstrated high correlation (r > 0.99) across all assays, confirming equivalent performance.
Technological Characteristics
Benchtop, fully automated, random-access coagulation analyzer. Optical detection (405, 535, 671 nm). Barcode-based sample/reagent identification. Cap-piercing sample handling. Onboard refrigerated reagent storage with stirring. 22-inch color touchscreen interface. Connectivity includes remote-control functionality for desktop sharing and software updates. Compliant with IEC 61010-1, 61010-2-101, 61010-2-010, 61326-1, 61326-2-6, and 60601-1-2 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare professionals in hemostasis laboratories for coagulation and/or fibrinolysis testing to assess thrombosis and/or hemostasis. Prescription use only.

#### Device Description
The ACL TOP Family 70 Series are fully automated coagulation analyzers that utilize the same intuitive software, the same consumables, reagents, calibrators and controls, and provide the same analytical methodology for routine and specialty assay result reporting as the predicate ACL TOP Family 50 Series.
The ACL TOP Family 70 Series instrument performs the following types of tests, using the same optical measuring wavelengths and test parameters as the predicate ACL TOP Family 50 Series:
- . Coagulometric (Turbidimetric) Measurements
- Chromogenic (Absorbance) Measurements .
- . Immunological Measurements
The ACL TOP Family 70 Series also offers the same pre-analytical features available on the ACL TOP Family 50 Series. These features alert the instrument operator to a potential HIL (Hemoglobin, Icteric and Lipemia) interference situation specific to the assays requested for a sample, underfilled sample tubes or a detected clog.
## Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ACL TOP Family 70 Series (ACL TOP 370, ACL TOP 570 and ACL TOP 770 / 770s / 770 LAS) are bench top, fully automated, random access analyzers designed specifically for in vitro diagnostic clinical use by health care professionals in the hemostasis laboratory for coagulation and/or fibrinolysis testing in the assessment of thrombosis and/or hemostasis. The systems provide results for both direct hemostasis measurements and calculated parameters.

#### Performance Summary
Analytical studies (specifically internal precision and method comparison) were performed on one lot of selected representative assays to establish that the updates introduced with the ACL TOP Family 70 Series do not impact the labeled performance data of the current menu of FDA-cleared assays claimed for the ACL TOP Family 50 Series. These studies followed recognized guidelines:
- CLSI EP05-A3
- . CLSI EP09c. 3rd Ed
All analytical studies were performed in accordance to established plans and protocols and design control procedures. Testing verified that all acceptance criteria were met and results equivalent to the predicate device.
#### Precision
Precision studies were performed using one lot of the following selected representative assays tested on representative ACL TOP Family 70 Series models (ACL TOP 370, ACL TOP 570, and ACL TOP 770). These studies used samples and controls with each material run for 20 days at two runs per day, 2 replicates per run (n=80).
