Intended Use

The Direct Bilirubin assay is used for the quantitation of direct bilirubin in human serum or plasma. Measurements of bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal and abnormal destruction of red blood cells, is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic hematological, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block.

Device Story

Direct Bilirubin is an in vitro diagnostic assay for quantitative determination of direct bilirubin in human serum or plasma. Conjugated bilirubin reacts with diazotised sulphanilic acid to produce acid azobilirubin; absorbance measured at 550 nm is proportional to direct bilirubin concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings on automated chemistry analyzers (e.g., ALCYON Analyzer). Healthcare providers use results to diagnose and monitor liver, hemolytic, and metabolic disorders. Benefits include clinical assessment of bilirubin levels for patient management.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparative performance studies on the ALCYON Analyzer showed correlation with the predicate (r=0.9969, slope=1.199, intercept=0.369 mg/dL). Precision studies reported total %CV of 6.7% (Level 1) and 2.8% (Level 2). Assay is linear up to 16 mg/dL with a limit of quantitation of 0.3 mg/dL.

Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic clinical chemistry assay. Principle: Diazotization reaction with sulphanilic acid; colorimetric measurement at 550 nm. Designed for use on automated chemistry analyzers. No specific materials of construction or software algorithm details provided.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the quantitative determination of direct bilirubin in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic hematological, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bilirubin (total or direct) test system is a device intended to measure the levels of bilirubin (total or direct) in plasma or serum. Measurements of the levels of bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal and abnormal distruction of red blood cells, if used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic hematological, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block.

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

The assigned 510(k) number is: K981222

# Test Description:

Direct Bilirubin is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of direct bilirubin in human serum or plasma. The Direct Bilirubin assay is a clinical chemistry assay in which the conjugated bilirubin reacts with diazotised sulphanilic acid to produce an acid azobilirubin, the absorbance of which is proportional to the concentration of direct bilirubin in the sample and can be measured at 550 nm.

### Substantial Equivalence:

The Direct Bilirubin assay is substantially equivalent to the Roche® Cobas Mira® Plus Automated Chemistry System Direct Bilirubin assay (K910593).

Both assays vield similar Performance Characteristics.

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### Similarities:

- Both assays are in vitro clinical chemistry methods. .
- Both assays can be used for the quantitative determination of direct bilirubin. .
- Both assays yield similar clinical results. .

#### Differences:

- There is a minor difference between the assay range. .
#### Intended Use:

The Direct Bilirubin assay is used for the quantitation of direct bilirubin in human serum or plasma.

## Performance Characteristics:

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the ALCYON™ Analyzer. The Direct Bilirubin assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Roche Cobas Mira Plus Automated Chemistry System Direct Bilirubin assay. The correlation coefficient = 0.9969, slope = 1.199, and Y-intercept = 0.369 mg/dL. Precision studies were conducted using the Direct Bilirubin assay. Within-run, between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 111 is 6.7% and Level 2/Panel 112 is 2.8%. The Direct Bilirubin assay is linear up to 16 mg/dL. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) for the Direct Bilirubin assay is 0.3 mg/dL. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Direct Bilirubin assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Roche Cobas Mira Plus Automated Chemistry System Direct Bilirubin assay.

#### Conclusion:

The Direct Bilirubin assay is substantially equivalent to the Roche Cobas Mira Plus Automated Chemistry System Direct Bilirubin assay as demonstrated by results obtained in the studies.
