Indications for Use
The Alinity c ICT (Integrated Chip Technology) is used for the quantitation of sodium, potassium, and chloride in human serum, plasma, or urine on the Alinity c analyzer. Sodium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism (excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone), diabetes insipidus (chronic excretion of large amounts of dilute urine, accompanied by extreme thirst), adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease (caused by destruction of the adrenal glands), dehydration, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance. Potassium measurements are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels. Chloride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis.
Device Story
Alinity c ICT Sample Diluent is an accessory for the Alinity c analyzer; enables quantitative measurement of sodium, potassium, and chloride in human serum, plasma, or urine. Device uses solid-state ion-selective electrodes (ISE) to measure electrical potential across ion-selective membranes; potential compared to calibrator voltages to determine ion concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output provides electrolyte concentrations to clinicians for diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic and electrolyte disorders. Benefits include rapid, automated electrolyte profiling to guide clinical decision-making for patients with suspected electrolyte imbalances.

## L. Test Principle:
Ion-selective electrodes (ISE) for sodium, potassium, and chloride utilize membranes selective to each of these ions. An electrical potential (voltage) is developed across the membranes between the reference and measuring electrodes in accordance with the Nernst equation. The voltage is compared to previously determined calibrator voltages and converted into ion concentration.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability.
The Alinity c ICT Sample Diluent and calibrators have the same bulk material as the diluent and calibrators cleared for use with the predicate device, ARCHITECT ICT (Na+, K+, Cl-) Sample Diluent. The reagent container for Alinity c ICT Sample Diluent has changed, and performance has been established on the Alinity c System as the candidate test system in this submission. Assay traceability is the same as established under clearance in k980367.
Stability.
The protocols for stability and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be adequate. The Alinity c ICT Sample Diluent is stable for 14 months when stored at 15 to 30 °C, and onboard the instrument for 30 days. Real time reagent stability studies are on-going and scheduled to continue for a maximum of 25 months.
d. Detection limit:
The upper and lower limits of the measuring ranges for sodium, potassium, and chloride are supported by linearity studies. Refer to M.1.b. linearity section above.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference studies were performed according to CLSI document EP07-A2 to determine the effects of potential interferences on the sodium, potassium, and chloride in serum and urine. Various concentrations of interferents were spiked into low and high levels of each analyte in serum or urine. Each sample was tested with a minimum of 12 replicates. The sponsor states that interference was considered non-significant if the difference in measured concentration between the test and control samples is within ±2% for serum sodium, ±10% for urine sodium, ±10% for serum and urine potassium, and ±10% for serum and urine chloride.

# 2. Comparison studies:
# a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A method comparison study was performed using a minimum of 100 human serum specimens with analyte concentrations within the analytical ranges of sodium, potassium, and chloride. A minimum of 100 urine samples for sodium, potassium, and chloride were used for the urine application. Samples were measured using the candidate device, Alinity c ICT Sample Diluent on the Alinity c System, and compared to the ICT Sample Diluent on the ARCHITECT c8000 instrument. Less than $10\%$ of the samples were altered by spiking and diluting human serum samples and urine.
