## Indications for Use

The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) assay is used for the quantitation of carbon dioxide in human serum or plasma. Bicarbonate/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

In vitro diagnostic assay for quantitative determination of carbon dioxide in human serum or plasma; utilizes enzymatic reaction where phospho(enol)pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) converts bicarbonate and phospho(enol)pyruvate to oxalacetate and phosphate; malate dehydrogenase (MDH) reduces oxalacetate to malate, oxidizing NADH; decrease in absorbance at 380 nm measured; used in clinical laboratory settings; results interpreted by clinicians to assess patient acid-base balance and diagnose related disorders.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Method comparison study performed on the AEROSET System against the predicate (Hitachi 717 Analyzer) showed correlation coefficient of 0.9906. Precision studies reported total %CV of 10.2% (Level 1) and 9.6% (Level 2). Linearity established up to 44.8 mEq/L; limit of quantitation (sensitivity) is 2.80 mEq/L.

## Technological Characteristics

In vitro clinical chemistry assay; enzymatic reaction principle (PEPC/MDH); photometric detection (absorbance at 380 nm); quantitative measurement of bicarbonate/CO2 in serum or plasma.

## 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.

### Test Description:

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of carbon dioxide in human serum or plasma. The Carbon Dioxide assay is a clinical chemistry assay in which carbon dioxide, as bicarbonate (HCO2 - ), and phospho(enol)pyruvate (PEP) are converted to oxalacetate and phosphate in the reaction, catalyzed by phospho(enol)pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC). Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzes the reduction of oxalacetate to malate with the concomitant oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The resulting decrease in absorbance at 380 nm is proportional to the CO2 content of the sample.

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

### Substantial Equivalence:

The Carbon Dioxide assay is substantially equivalent to the Boehringer Mannheim® Carbon Dioxide assay (K933461) on the Hitachi® 717 Analyzer.

Both assays vield similar Performance Characteristics.

Similarities to Boehringer Mannheim:

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

#### Intended Use:

The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) assay is used for the quantitation of carbon dioxide in human serum or plasma.

#### Performance Characteristics:

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the AEROSET™ System. The Carbon Dioxide assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Boehringer Mannheim Carbon Dioxide assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer. The correlation coefficient = 0.9906, slope = 0.909, and Y-intercept = 0.088 mEq/L. Precision studies were conducted using the Carbon Dioxide assay. Within-run, between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 101 control is 10.2% and Level 2/Panel 102 control is 9.6%. The Carbon Dioxide assay is linear up to 44.8 mEq/L. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) for the Carbon Dioxide assay is 2.80 mEq/L. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Carbon Dioxide assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Boehringer Mannheim Carbon Dioxide assay on the Hitachi 717 Analyzer.
