## Indications for Use

Intended for the In Vitro, quantitative determination of carbon dioxide in human serum on automated chemistry analyzers. Carbon dioxide measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous potentially serious disorders associated with changes in body acid-base balance.

## Device Story

JAS Carbon Dioxide Liquid Reagent is an in vitro diagnostic reagent used for the quantitative determination of carbon dioxide in human serum. The device is intended for use on automated chemistry analyzers in clinical laboratory settings. It is operated by laboratory technicians or clinical staff. The reagent reacts with serum samples to facilitate the measurement of carbon dioxide levels, which are then used by clinicians to assess a patient's acid-base balance. This information assists in the diagnosis and management of various metabolic and respiratory disorders. The device is provided for prescription use only.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on performance characteristics typical of in vitro diagnostic reagents for carbon dioxide measurement.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid reagent for in vitro diagnostic use; designed for compatibility with automated chemistry analyzers; utilizes standard biochemical assay principles for carbon dioxide quantification in serum.

## Regulatory Identification

A bicarbonate/carbon dioxide test system is a device intended to measure bicarbonate/carbon dioxide in plasma, serum, and whole blood. Bicarbonate/carbon dioxide measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous potentially serious disorders associated with changes in body acid-base balance.
