## Indications for Use

The lactate sensor is intended for professional and point of care use with the IRMA Blood Analysis System for the direct measurement of lactate, in human whole blood. The Lactate Cartridge and the IRMA Blood Analysis System are for in vitro diagnostic use.

## Device Story

The IRMA SL Blood Analysis System Lactate Cartridge is a single-use, disposable cartridge for in vitro measurement of lactate in whole blood. Used in professional and point-of-care settings, the device accepts whole blood samples via syringe or capillary injection. It utilizes an amperometric electrode and a reference electrode to measure the lactate oxidase reaction. Before each test, the system performs an automatic calibration using factory-derived parameters and on-board calibrants. The analyzer monitors sensor signals during analysis; if abnormal conditions are detected, the test terminates and an error message is generated. Otherwise, results are displayed and can be printed. The device assists clinicians in diagnosing and treating lactic acidosis by providing rapid lactate measurements.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Accuracy evaluated against a reference method (n=30, range 1-250 mg/dL, slope 0.97, r=0.991). Precision testing conducted across four levels (n=58-59 per level) showed total precision CV ranging from 5.1% to 15.3%.

## Technological Characteristics

Disposable, single-use cartridge; amperometric lactate oxidase sensor; 7.2V NiCAD rechargeable battery or AC adapter; dimensions/weight: 5 lbs; connectivity: on-board display and printer; calibration: automatic with each sample; software: rule-based error detection.

## Regulatory Identification

A lactic acid test system is a device intended to measure lactic acid in whole blood and plasma. Lactic acid measurements that evaluate the acid-base status are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lactic acidosis (abnormally high acidity of the blood).

## Predicate Devices

- YSI Model 2300 Stat Plus ([K891480](/device/K891480.md))

### Substantial Equivalence Claim

The IRMA® SL Blood Analysis System GL Cartridge is substantially equivalent in method, intended use and clinical performance to the currently marketed YSI Model 2300 Stat Plus.

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

#### Device Description

The IRMA" SL Blood Analysis System Lacrate Cartridge is for use with the IRMA "Blood Analysis System. The Lactate cartridge is a single use, disposable cartridge, for the in vitro measurement of lactate in whole blood.

Samples are introduced via syringe or capillary injections with the IRMA® Capillary Collection Device. The lactate sensor uses an amperometric electrode along with a reference electrode that measures the lactate oxidase reaction. The IRMA® sensors are calibrated prior to each test using a calibrant packaged with the sensors. Calibration of the cartidge is completed when information determined at the factory for each lot of cartridges is combined with measurements taken during the calibration process. Factory derived calibration parameters are input into the analyzer by calibration code entry.

Throughout the calibration and analysis process, signals from the sensors are analyzed. If any abnormal conditions are detected, an error message is generated and the test will be terminated. If there are no abnormal conditions, then the sample results (measured and calculated) are displayed after successful calibration and analysis. In addition, the user has the option to print a hard copy of the results.

#### Intended Use

The lactate sensor is intended for professional and point of care use with the IRMA " Blood Analysis System for the direct measurement of lactate, in human whole blood. The Lactate Cartridge and the IRMA "Blood Analysis System are for in vitro diagnostic use.

#### Indications for Use

Loctate evaluates the acid-base status and is used in the diagnosis and treatment of lactic acidosis (abnormally high acidity of the blood).

Dear Ms. Ring:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device w f nate roview a your co determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate for about in the encreases)76, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must or any I with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 -

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR 807.97).
