Intended Use

The Magnesium assay is used for the quantitation of magnesium in human serum, plasma, or urine. Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low serum levels of magnesium) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally high serum levels of magnesium).

Device Story

In vitro diagnostic assay; quantitative determination of magnesium in human serum, plasma, or urine. Uses arsenazo dye binding to magnesium; absorbance measured at 550 nm; proportional to magnesium concentration. Calcium chelating agent prevents interference. Used in clinical laboratory settings; operated by laboratory personnel. Output provided as concentration value; assists clinicians in diagnosing/treating magnesium-related metabolic disorders.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Method comparison study against predicate (Hitachi 717) showed correlation coefficients of 0.9884 (serum) and 0.9866 (urine). Precision studies (within-run, between-run, between-day) reported total %CVs ranging from 2.9% to 4.5%. Linearity established up to 7.79 mEq/L (serum) and 21.7 mEq/L (urine). Limit of quantitation is 0.38 mEq/L.

Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic clinical chemistry assay. Uses arsenazo dye-based colorimetric sensing. Measures absorbance at 550 nm. Includes calcium chelating agent to prevent interference. Designed for use on the AEROSET System.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the quantitative determination of magnesium in human serum, plasma, or urine to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A magnesium test system is a device intended to measure magnesium levels in serum and plasma. Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low plasma levels of magnesium) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally high plasma levels of magnesium).

| Device Trade or Proprietary Name: | Mg |
| Device Common/Usual Name or Classification Name: | Magnesium |
| Classification Number/Class: | 75JGJ/Class I |

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:

#### Test Description:

Magnesium is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of magnesium in human serum, plasma, or urine. The Magnesium assay is a clinical chemistry assay which utilizes an arsenazo dye which binds preferentially with magnesium. The absorbance of the arsenazo magnesium complex is measured at 550 nm and is proportional to the concentration of magnesium present in the sample. Calcium interference is prevented by incorporation of a calcium chelating agent.

#### Substantial Equivalence:

The Magnesium assay is substantially equivalent to the Boehringer Mannheim® Magnesium assay (K811194) on the Hitachi® 717 Analyzer for both the serum and the urine applications.

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

These assays yield similar Performance Characteristics.

#### Similarities:

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

#### Differences:

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

The Magnesium assay is used for the quantitation of magnesium in human serum, plasma, or urine.

#### Performance Characteristics:

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the AEROSET™ System. The Magnesium assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Boehringer Mannheim Magnesium assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer for both the serum and the urine applications. For the serum application, the correlation coefficient = 0.9884, slope = 0.961 and the Y-intercept = 0.134 mEq/L. For the urine application, the correlation coefficient = 0.9866, slope = 1.068 and the Y-intercept = -0.222 mEq/L. Precision studies were conducted using the Magnesium assay. Within-run. between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. For the serum application, the total %CV for Level 1/Panel 101 is 4.4% and Level 2/Panel 102 is 3.4%. For the urine application, the total %CV for Level 1/Panel 201 is 4.5% and Level 2/Panel 202 is 2.9%. The Magnesium assay is linear up to 7.79 mEq/L for the serum application, and 21.7 mEq/L for the urine application. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) of the Magnesium assay is 0.38 mEq/L. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Magnesium assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Boehringer Mannheim Magnesium assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer for both serum and urine applications.

## Conclusion:

The Magnesium assay is substantially equivalent to the Boehringer Mannheim Magnesium assay on the Hitatchi 717 Analyzer for the serum and urine applications as demonstrated by results obtained in the studies.
