## Indications for Use

The RAPIDPoint® 500 System measurement cartridge with calibrators is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the analytes on the RAPIDPoint® 500 System. The analytes measured are partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), pH, Sodium (Na *), Potassium (K'), ionized Calcium (Ca*), Chloride (Cl), Glucose (Glu), total hemoglobin (tHb), Neonatal Bilirubin (nBili) and Lactate (Lac).

## Device Story

RAPIDPoint 500 System uses measurement and wash/waste cartridges containing aqueous salt solution calibrators; calibrates pH, pO2, pCO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, Glucose, tHb, and Lactate. Neonatal Bilirubin calibration is derived from tHb calibration. System operates in point-of-care settings; used by clinicians to ensure accuracy of blood analysis. Calibrator values assigned via flame photometry and mass spectrometry. Device ensures analytical accuracy for clinical decision-making regarding patient metabolic and respiratory status.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Stability protocols, value assignment procedures, and traceability to NIST reference materials were validated. No clinical data presented.

## Technological Characteristics

Aqueous salt solution calibrators; liquid format. Traceable to NIST SRM reference materials (e.g., SRM186, 918, 919, 915, 917) and standard methods (e.g., flame photometry, hexokinase, coulometric, lactate dehydrogenase). Storage at 2-8°C or 2-30°C depending on component. Standalone cartridge system.

## Regulatory Identification

A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also § 862.2 in this part.)

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
